Buddhists use statues of the Buddha and bodhisattvas to:

- Remind themselves of the Buddha Nature and enlightened energy that is inherent within each person
- Honor the historical founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni Buddha
- Remind themselves that Buddha was a real human, no different than any of us
- Enjoy the presence of a friendly face
