3 Theories for Fat Buddha
Buddhism reached China around 100 CE, and was
wide spread there by 600 CE. And we get three
theories on Fat Buddha.
First the physical image of a Noble was different
as was the concept of the results of
enlightenment, a Noble was not athletic or a
warrior, but a well fed person of leisure.
Enlightenment led to material success and wealth
and a position at least close to nobility. And a
belief that fat men were inherently benevolent,
similar to the "jolly fat man", Jolly Ol' St.
Nick for example.
Then there is the story of a Chinese Buddhist
monk in the 6th century who just happened to have
a belly that shook like jelly. He was a
benevolent fellow who dedicated himself to
helping others, and was regarded as the
incarnation of the Boddhisatva Metteya, who had
reached nirvana but stayed around just to help
people
And finally, the theory held by most Buddhist
scholars. A sagely Zen monk appeared in China
around 850 CE and died in 916 CE. He said his
name was "Knowing This" (ChiChe). No one knew
where he came from, he carried a big fat bag and
was famous for his fat belly. When asked how to
obtain nirvana he would lay down the bag, not
saying a word. When asked about what happened
after reaching nirvana, he would pick up the bag
and walk away, still not uttering a word. It is
pretty much accepted that such a monk existed. He
is probably the inspiration for Fat Buddha, as
the statues began appearing in the late 9th
century, 1200 years after the Gautama's death.
