I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other people's religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up. So I think we ought to all oppose burning the Koran.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

Indian Leader

Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.

Todd Barry

Buddha, much like everyone else has good and bad days.

American Comedian

The title 'Buddha' is capitalized when referring to Siddhartha Gautama specifically.

Capitalization

'Buddha' refers to a historical figure, so it's often used in discussions about history and religion.

Historic Use

Be respectful when discussing Buddha, as he is a religious figure revered by millions.

Cultural Sensitivity

In Buddhism, reaching enlightenment is the goal, making one a 'buddha' figuratively.

Enlightenment Goal

Anyone can achieve the status of 'buddha'; it's not limited to one individual.

Not Exclusive

Use lowercase when referring to someone who's enlightened, not Siddhartha Gautama.

Lowercase Usage

Buddha statues are common decorative items and not always religious symbols.

Decorative Object

Treat images of the Buddha with respect as they hold cultural and religious importance.

Cultural Respect

Buddha images vary greatly in style and expression, reflecting different artistic traditions.
