Noun

[edit]

Buddha (plural Buddhas)

1. (Buddhism) Any other person considered similarly enlightened. At this point, the Amidha Buddha probably has more worshippers than the Buddha himself does.
   • 1899 February, Joseph Conrad, “The Heart of Darkness”, in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, volume CLXV, number M, New York, N.Y.: The Leonard Scott Publishing Company, […], →OCLC, part I, page 196:“Mind,” he began again, lifting one arm from the elbow, the palm of the hand outwards, so that, with his legs folded before him, he had the pose of a Buddha preaching in European clothes and without a lotus-flower - “Mind, none of us would feel exactly like this.”
2. (by extension) Any other person considered similarly enlightened. There are some who consider Jesus a buddha, not least because Buddhism had spread to Judaea by the early 1st century.
3. (figurative, ironic) Synonym of know-it-all or smartass, a person who imagines themselves smarter or wiser than they are.
   • 2007 February 20, Chris Chibnall, Life on Mars, season 2, episode 2:Sam: Well, our first priority is to make sure the thieves don't strike again. It'll be tricky, 'cause these sorts of gangs rarely have just one target on the go. They've usually researched half a dozen possibilities, waiting for the most opportune circumstances on any of them.Harry Woolf: He knows his onions, this lad, eh?Gene Hunt: Oh, he's a right little smart-arse. So, what do you suggest, Buddha?
4. A statue or image of any Buddha. I love visiting the temple to see the Buddha.
