Ehm that's not the rappresentation of Buddha..that's was only a buddhist monk that was so beautiful that he decided to become fat(for check if all the people that was following him,was doing so only for his awesome aspect or for what he was preaching)..i never understood why in Western world that became our idea of Buddha.
Anyway this is the ""real"" Buddha

And this is the monk

Buddha simply mean someone that got enlightened by himself.So technically you could call Buddha a lot of ancient "master" of the past.
But since Siddharta Gautema was the creator of the Buddhism,if you talk about a general Buddha,you are talking of him.
i have a really little knowledge about the Buddhism... i know it isn't a "religion"... in my opinion... it is a life style... the Buddha doesn't tell you what you must do... he says to you what you could do to live a better life...
