    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
