Buddha :
in the Tripitaka, especially the sutra called
"Tonana Sutra"
in Anguttara Nikaya
with the Brahmin Dhona asked the Exalted One,
“What are you?”
After seeing that the Buddha was different from ordinary people, the Buddha replied,
"I am a Buddha"
, in which Buddha here means
"the one who knows, the awakened, the
enlightened" .

Therefore, to focus and consider
Therefore, "Buddha"
must be understood in terms of significance, that is

Buddha's Interpretation:
"In the evolution of Buddhism when abstraction is difficult to reach therefore presented in a concrete way clearer instead causing him to look at Prince Siddhartha be a Buddha by bringing Buddhahood to attach to Prince Siddhartha Until making most people understand that Prince Siddhartha and the Buddha are the same story. But being a Prince Siddhartha and being a Buddha are completely different states. Prince Siddhartha was the one who still had defilements. As for the Lord Buddha, he completely destroyed his defilements, so even though he was the same person But personalities are different. What will the appearance of the Buddha be like? It would be hard to find anyone to point it out. Both the Buddha taught not to hold on to his identity. Therefore, to imagine what the Buddha would be like. Therefore, it will depend on the individuality of each person.”
At present, I must admit that
Most people try to bring the shape of
"Prince Siddhartha"
which can be tangible to put on the Buddha
But an interesting question for this issue is Prince Siddhartha.
Is it the same person as the Buddha? The answer is, it could be the same person or not.
Because when Prince Siddhartha attained enlightenment, he was not Prince Siddhartha.
anymore then enough
which is not different from the interpretation of the story
"Visakha Bucha Day"
, which, according to legend, is the day that Lord Buddha was born, attained enlightenment and passed away on the same day and month.
Some people may see it as a matter of miracles, but on the other hand, it may refer to birth, meaning being a knowledgeable person who has been born.
As for the Buddha's enlightenment, it was knowing what was true.
On the other hand, nirvana means
"the former defilements have ended".
"Phra Thammasakayawongwisut"
“Birth, enlightenment and nirvana on the same day and month Buddhahood that exists with everyone for example When we have new knowledge, it is considered a birth. New knowledge destroys all old knowledge, that is, enlightenment will cause our old self to die. New knowledge puts an end to the old self and the old knowledge, that is, nirvana or cessation. Therefore, it depends on the method of interpretation.
For this reason,

There may be some, but without going into detail, for example, it may be stated that
The Lord Buddha was only taller than the average person.
Temple of the Buddha:
“If we understand Pali and we understand the Scriptures There is no supernatural as we understand it, because in reality there is only Anusasani miracles or miracles from preaching That's when the sermon was born. Transformation is supernatural, not supernatural as we understand it. Supernatural in Pali means intention, aim. or bringing the mind to focus on accomplishing the desired results
In the Tripitaka, there is a sutra called
"Miraculous Sutra"
or Sutra that deals with miracles
which describes miracles as Dharma
For example,
"Nekkhamma" means that the ordination can be done
, it is called
"Itthi"
.
Being able to escape sensual pleasure or being able to calm your body, speech, and mind is called a

It must be admitted that most Buddhists still adhere to
"Very symbolic images of the Buddha"
until sometimes I do not want to see
"Buddha in the form of a living person"
. Therefore, if the Buddha is presented in a different form.
Especially in the world of movies or dramas, there are often violent protests.
but nowadays
When people began to understand the Buddha's teachings
and viewed it more as a matter of Buddhahood or a state of enlightenment
Problems that had arisen gradually became lighter.
If you can remember
Thailand recently
A new birthday Buddha image was created.
by combining all 7 postures into one body
Which when it comes out, the appearance looks strange.
and when people first saw each other
There were many criticisms of each other, but as time passed, people began to be indifferent.
That would depend on the way it was presented.

How much or less can be accepted?
“It all depends on the Buddhists. If a Buddhist who have faith in the shape of the Buddha would not be able to accept the Buddha image in a different form But the important thing that everyone must understand is Making a movie, drama or animation is entertainment, not a documentary. Therefore, it is often presented by adding content to entertain the audience. Therefore, what Buddhists should pay attention to Therefore, it is not stuck in the image of the Buddha, how it will come out. But it should be emphasized that the Buddha is presented. to what extent is distorted from the “Buddhism” which is the essence of Buddhism?”
