(sub)stromingen buddhisme

Net als geloven heb je bij het buddhisme ook kapers op de loer. Zogenaamde lama's en substromingen. Naar mijn inzien bestaat er slechts 1 authentieke boedda, de Budai.

Budai, Hotei or Pu-Tai[1][2] (Chinese and Japanese: 布袋; pinyin: Bùdài; rōmaji: Hotei[3]; Vietnamese: Bố Đại) is a Chinese folkloric deity. His name means "Cloth Sack",[3] and comes from the bag that he is conventionally depicted as carrying. He is usually identified with or seen as an incarnation of Maitreya, the future Buddha, so much so that the Budai image is one of the main forms in which Maitreya is depicted in China.[3] He is almost always shown smiling or laughing, hence his nickname in Chinese, the Laughing Buddha (Chinese: 笑佛; pinyin: Xiào Fó).[1][3][4]

In the West, the image of Budai is often mistaken for that of Gautama Buddha, and is hence called the Fat Buddha (Chinese: 胖佛; pinyin: Pàng Fó).[5]

Description[edit]
Budai is traditionally depicted as a fat, bald man wearing a robe[1][4][6] and wearing or otherwise carrying prayer beads. He carries his few possessions in a cloth sack,[4] being poor but content. He is often depicted entertaining or being followed by adoring children.[3] His figure appears throughout Chinese culture as a representation of both contentment and abundance.[4]
