Why is Buddha smiling?
He is smiling because he knows more than we could ever realize about ourselves. He laughs in the faces of those who take his philosophy too seriously and turns his enlightened thoughts into a religion – Buddhism. A simple smile is a reflection of one’s current state of mind and is quite contagious when others see a sincere smile. For those with good teeth of pearly white, a bigger smile is better. Furthermore, he believes in doing nothing to justify his existence by sitting and praying everyday and as a result has gained unhealthy pounds over the course of his life.
Why is Buddha fat?
He is fat because he eats too much for his own good. His followers don’t understand that he is diabetic and all those food left on his alter goes right to his thighs but more noticeably to his big guts. He wants more than oranges and tea as food offerings. That is why there are different kinds of food besides soup and vegetable, both of which are boring when eaten every day! Noone has died a quick death from eating fatty meat or decadent chocolate, either. It’s moderation that is important for good health but Buddha doesn’t care because eating is his passion.
Why is Buddha bald?
He is bald because he has been pulling his hair out of frustration. His followers believe in killing the female babies and in supporting superstitious belief systems, like Feng Shui and lunar cycles. The fear-mongers need not utilize scare tactics to control people. People are by nature imperfect, misbehaving once in awhile, but are not stupid to go along with what everyone else in a particular group dictates as the norm of society. His baldness represents his removal from anything belonging to this world, a form of ego – self-centeredness, including the high maintenance of hair.
Author’s note: No religion or philosophy is perfect. People need to think well on their own for once. Each person must learn to discern his/her/its own truth and not go along with any religious dogma. That is why the head (rational mind) is placed over the heart (emotional kind) and everything else, err, below (uncontrollable grind).
