I saw someone mention that Buddha is fat in a different thread.

The following is not Buddha.

His name is Budai. Although he is sometimes called the Laughing Buddha. Budai is from China. Budai is shown as a short fat man who is laughing or smiling.

Buddha is shown as a tall skinny man.

Buddha being fat is a common misconception.

You should go pray to Mary about this like you Catholics do all the time.

Okay.

This just in: You're right. Buddha isn't fat... Mary told me all about it (he's in heaven too)! Proof that Catholicism is the truth.

Edit: I have a video too... but for some unexplained reason it's all fuzzy and you can't see much of anything. Here it is:

By "Buddha" here, you mean Gautama Buddha/Siddhartha Gautama. Budai is still considered a Buddha by some.
