"बुद्ध" का संशोधनहरू बिचको अन्तर

*''[[Hotei]]'', the obese, [[Laughing Buddha]], usually seen in [[जनबादी गणतन्त्र चीन|China]]. This figure is believed to be a representation of a medieval Chinese monk who is associated with Maitreya, the future Buddha, र it is therefore not technically a Buddha image.

The poses र hand-gestures of these statues, known respectively as [[asana]]s र [[mudra]]s, are significant to their overall meaning. The popularity of any particular mudra or asana tends to be region-specific, such as the ''[[Vajra]]'' (or ''Chi Ken-in'') mudra, which is popular in [[Japan]] र [[कोरिया|Korea]] but rarely seen in [[भारत|India]]. Others are more universally common, for example, the ''Varada'' (Wish Granting) mudra is common among standing statues of the Buddha, particularly when coupled with the ''Abhaya'' (Fearlessness र Protection) mudra.
