There are many paths to the truth, and Buddha's is just one of the few


Pretty good one though

He was not fat you fool. This is just to utilize the mental image of "happy fat man" that people have in their mind. Also self-discipline is literally the highest form of existance, nothing compares. Willpower is a depletable resource and is NOT reliable at all. Tired = less, bloodsugar low = less, sad = less, and so on. Willpower is day 1 discipline is all the rest.

fat buddhas are for good fortune.

Except Buddha was a Saka. So he was a blue eyed, white scythian. This is even written in the description of him.

To defend the ignorant, its pretty easy to make mistakes when you don't what Budai, Budo, Buddha, Body even means. Someone who only heard the word "bud[aeiou]" would choose any of the random and feel secure in knowing they even remembered part of it.

Not even Jesus was white.

>>3078606
Mohammed was though, or so their scriptures claim. Also
>semites aren´t white
Are you an antisemite anon-kun?

>>3078620
Semites aren't white as understood by the popular held belief in America and by law they're not white. They maybe caucasian, like the Indians, but they're not white as understood by the people.

>Irishmen are not white!
>Ok, now they are.
>Italians are not white!
>Ok, now they are
>Slavs are not white!
>Ok, now they are
Is there any race more socially constructed as the white race?

Americans should not be allowed to talk about race.

Agreed

>socially constructed
This is current year son, you hold no power here.
Your post are incorrect also, none of the mentioned are white. North italians at most, at a stretch. Irish are just egyptian refugees and/or original Atlantis myth fellows. Their own thing.

That's Budai dummy.

>>3078408
Because religion is another form of ideology. And ideology exists to promote and support the interests of certain groups

That's not Buddha: that's a Chinese Buddhist monk known as Budai who was popularly alleged to be the next Buddha, Maitreya.

Yeah it has nothing to do with fear of death or mortality salience at all. Strong knowledge there

>>3078408
That's Budai not Buddha

Before science and modern ideologies religion was giving answers on every question: Gods move the sun, the chief is the child of the sun, after death you go to the land of eternal hunting.
Due to high mortality rates people have been thinking of death somewhat different from modern era
