| | The China Society of Fine Arts "Sakyamuni Buddha" |
| | Sakyamuni Buddha was the first Buddha worshipped with its origins in India. | | | Sakyamuni Buddha clasps his hands across his stomach, whereas he should have his palms upward and his thumbs barely touching in front of his stomach, which is the standard meditative gesture. | | | It is apparent that Buddhism was new to China because of the errors in pose and gesture, which are vital to the Buddha. |

| | 11 - Kenhoto-hon |
| | Sakyamuni Buddha reveals the truth that is more spiritual while Many-Treasure Buddha appears with materialistic seven treasures; that is to say, the truth can be proved with the physical. | | | For example, Sakyamuni Buddha vowed to save all living beings on this earth while Amida Buddha made 48 vows to lead the people who have trust in him to the Pure Land in the West after their death. | | | Many-Treasure Buddha is a past Buddha while Sakyamuni Buddha is the present Buddha; therefore both Buddhas sitting together means transcendence of time and space. |

| | Cris Roman - Chapter 6 |
| | Sakyamuni declares that the essence of his teaching actually predates him and his enlightenment; it stems from the Buddha or "original enlightenment," which has existed since time without beginning. | | | Sakyamuni was the first, and most familiar Buddha. | | | Nonetheless, the reason that Sakyamuni, in the second chapter of the Lotus Sutra, predicted the enlightenment of even Devadatta, the man who tried several times to assassinate him, is obviously his effort to clarify that no one lacks the Buddha potential. |

| | As what Sakyamuni preached was Orthodox Law, the Buddha Dharma he taught became more and more overwhelming during the whole course of his teaching, while the other religions went more and more into decline and even the deep-rooted Brahmanism was on the verge of extinction. | | | When Sakyamuni founded his school in his life there were eight religions in circulation in India, among which was a deep-rooted religion called Brahmanism. | | | In this way, the whole of Buddhism is entirely different from the Buddhism which Sakyamuni founded at the beginning. |

| | In his later years, Buddha Sakyamuni finally said, "I have not taught any Fa in my lifetime." Buddha Sakyamuni said this because he indeed did not teach the Fa of this universe, nor did he mention the manifestation of this characteristic of Zhen-Shan-Ren in ordinary human society or at his level of Tathagata. | | | What Buddha Sakyamuni said was later compiled and written down as scriptures. | | | Buddha Sakyamuni’s way of completing cultivation is called "Precept (morality), Samadhi (meditation), Wisdom."

Sakyamuni rejected this temptation, thereby forsaking his duties (and his name) as an heir and leader of the Sakya clan. |
