P: Greg, your list is a great bird eye view of most of the main

points of Buddhism. Of course, as with every religion, buyer

beware of monkish BS is required. And the 32 marks of a Buddha

is a prime example of monkish idealization.

 

I think they were talking about a future Hindu movie superstar.

#10 is particularly funny, why would a celibate Avatar need a

perfect sexual organ? LOL

 

32 marks of a buddha:

(1) level feet; (2) sign of a 1,000-spoke wheel on the soles of the

feet; (3) long, slender fingers; (4) broad heels; (5) curved toes and

fingers; (6) soft, smooth hands and feet; (7) arched feet; (8) lower

body like an antelope's; (9) arms reaching to the knee; (10) virile

member without narrowing the foreskin; (11) powerful body; (12) hairy

body; (13) thick, curly body hair; (14) golden-hued body; (15) a body

that gives off rays ten feet in every direction; (16) soft skin; (17)

rounded hands, shoulders and head; (18) well-formed shoulders; (19)

upper body like a lion's; (20) erect body; (21) powerful muscular

shoulders; (22) forty teeth; (23) even teeth; (24) white teeth; (25)

gums like a lion's; (26) saliva that improves the taste of all foods;

(27) broad tongue; (28) voice like Brahma's; (29) clear blue eyes;

(30) eyelashes like a bull's; (31) lock of hair between the eyebrows

(3rd eye); (32) a cone-shaped elevation on the crown of the head.
