Is Buddha a guy or girl?

Question

why do all buddha statues look like girl.

Answer 1

Buddha is definetly a male.

Siddhartha Gautama (Pāli: Gotama Buddha) was a spiritual teacher in the ancient Indian subcontinent and the historical founder of Buddhism. He is universally recognised by Buddhists as the Supreme Buddha of our age. The time of his birth and death are not certain; most modern historians date his lifetime from 563 BCE to 483 BCE, though some alternative research may suggest a date about a century later than this.[1] (However, see Against the Short Date.) By tradition, he was born with the name Siddhārtha Gautama (Pāli: Siddhattha Gotama). After a quest for the truth behind life and death, he underwent a transformative spiritual change that led him to claim the name of Buddha. He is also commonly known as Śākya-muni, "sage of the Śākya clan") and as the Tathāgata ("thus-come-one" or "thus-gone-one").

Gautama is the key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules were summarized after his death and memorized by the saṅgha. Passed down by oral tradition, the Tripiṭaka, the collection of discourses attributed to Gautama, was committed to writing about 400 years later.

Buddha
Enlightened One. This is the term used to describe Sidhattha Gotama (Siddhartha Gautama). Gotama was not the only Buddha. There have been Buddhas in the past and there will be Buddhas in the future. The future Buddha is referred to as Maitreya.

Buddhism
Now one of the world's major religions, Buddhism is based upon the teachings of Siddhartha Gutama Buddha in reaction to the animism and pantheism which were common in India at the time. The principle beliefs of Buddhism are expressed in the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

There are three main schools of Buddhism today. the first is Therevada (Doctrine of the Elders), which is the surviving form of Hinayana, or Lesser-Vehicle and can be found in Ceylon, Burma, and other areas of Southeast Asia. The second is Mahayana, or Great-Vehicle, and can be found in China, Korea and Japan. The third is Vajrayana, or Diamond Vehicle, and can be found in Tibet and some surrounding areas.

In India, where Buddhism originated, it can now only be found in very small numbers.

Answer 5

Buddha was a prince. But after enlightenment Buddha had no sex, and I would say Buddha statues look like a girl because beautiful Asian people look very feminine, look at Thai people, girls passing for guys, guys passing for girls. Personally I fell that Buddha takes on the empowerment of both sexes and has the strong features of both.

Answer 8

Buddha meaning "Enlightened One" historically was the sixth century BC Kshatriya (warrior in the caste system) Prince Siddhartha Gautama. What you may be confused by are statutes of Boddisatvas - "little Buddhas- similar to Christian Saints" who often are women. The most popular is Kwang Ying in China (known as Kwannon in Japan). She plays a role similar to the BVM in Catholicism ie - as a mediator between humans and the Buddha.
