Mandela Effect:
Buddha was fat
New Timeline: Buddha was thinner
Many people recall the image of Buddha being a plump man with a large “buddha belly”. On this timeline he has seemed to slim down a bit. His memorable belly fat is no longer a part of this reality.
This happens only to white people who take other religions and ethnics for granted. Buddha and Budai are diffferent characters. Budai has always been a Chinese fat Monk who loved life and lived after Christ. Buddha, Siddharta Gautama, was a wealthy man (most likely from Nepal) who crafted what we know as Buddhism these days. One existed 1600 years after the others.
Sister had ceramic buddhas growing up. All were chunky with the classic big tummy.
