One of the common misconceptions about L’il Buddha is that he is *the* Buddha. It’s probably a distinction that only matters to me. Originally. he was a manifestation of my latent Buddha nature (as established in this comic). Now I think of him more as a figment of my imagination, as a distorted representation of the values I wish I had. He’s not a fully realized Buddha yet, which gives him something to aspire to.
