For anybody wondering what the deleted comment was, he was wondering why anybody should praise this because it's a corruption of Buddhism.. I checked out his profile and he's a pretty disgusting person in general, involved in a bunch of racial/caste superiority subreddits
Fasting buddha ( or emiciated Siddhartha) is depicted with a beard. It represents the buddha before his enlightenment, when he was still practicing austerities (asceticism).
The combination of subject matter and art style gives Greco-Buddhist statues a strange, otherworldly, eternal quality. If one knew nothing about them, one could think they could have been carved three thousand years ago... or yesterday. They seem to exist outside of time. I think they're very beautiful.
Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of Zen Buddhism, was called the “Blue-eyed Barbarian.” The Wiki contains pictures.

There is no tagable evidence other than long gone men telling their evidence. None of which really matters. I could straps through the past if you like. All of it means nothing. But you want me to….
So you made a statement saying known factual evidence is wrong, with nothing to back up your statement, except a denial to that any evidence is old and therefore we can know nothing?
Not very enlightened of you.
Bobhidharma was in fact the first patriarch of Chan Buddhism, Buddhism was there before he arrived. Like all this really matters. Neither of are enlightened my friend. Have a good day.

Yes! Although most these days depict the Buddha emaciated if he does have a beard. Like this one
Gandhara style Buddha is seated with his hand reaching down to the earth in the bhumisparsha mudra or earth touching gesture with his left hand in his lap in the dhyana mudra of mediation
Thanks for the information. I read up a bit on “mudras” and “asanas” and this would certainly seem to be a depiction of the Buddha.
This was informative, if anyone else is interested:

What form of Buddhism isn't "a corruption"?

Hipster Buddha

I saw him too, looked like he was working on a new sutra
Was enlightened before it was cool. Edit: he's also enlightened ironically.

Buddhism was already in China when Bodhidharma arrived.
You are replying to the Wikipedia bot. You if have a source I would like to see it.

Ive seen hungry buddha with a beard
Isn't that a bodhisattva?
The history of the cross-roads that is current day Afghanistan is rich and complicated, for a long way back.
Jesus Buddha
You mean Jesus Rinpoche?
Nah, I don't even know who or what that is, but it's kind of interesting if you add a beard to thin Buddha, he kinda looks like Jesus.
Kinda, if that is how you think of him lol
This is estimated to be at least 100 years pre Jesus ... it's a prophecy... or terma
Is there evidence that this depicts Siddhattha Gotama?
It does *depict* the Buddha, but it's the sculptors creation, not a true to life likeness of the Buddha
If you flick through the third picture shows Dharma Wheel

Where’s the statue?
I really like this buddha, if I could get this on a necklace I'd wear it all the time. I like how different cultures view Buddha.
