Where is Buddha?

nakamuram002

I seek enlightenment - Where is the Buddha Statue?  And why is he being portrayed as morbidly obese?  That represents excess, which he always cautioned against.  There is no evidence that he had the eating disorder of obesity.  To the contrary - He discovered the "Middle Way", after he nearly fasted to death.  He should be neither obese nor anorexic!!

Siddhartha Gautama may be “THE” Buddha, but he is not the ONLY Buddha. Budai/Putai/Hotei is the laughing or fat Buddha and (may or may not have) lived in the 10th century CE.

True.  All of us are capable of finding enlightenment and becoming a Buddha - Even the morbidliy obese.  However, morbid obesity indicates an attachment to food, but perhaps Hotei had a metabolic problem, rather than an eating disorder.

I have those, and none of them are portrayed as morbidly obese, which is good.  I seek the one offered on the present DAZ Store page.

Reincarnated in the Commons as it is a question about, not an offer of, a freebie.

If you have https://www.daz3d.com/buddha-statues, you won't be able to see anything on the "Aspire for Enlightenment" page. The Daz Store default will never show you items that are already purchased unless less you uncheck "Hide Items I already own on  a results page.

Or rather, if they have the Buddha statues, but NOT the Budai character, then they will only see the latter on that sales page, hence this thread.
