仏とは、仏教上の完全な悟りを開いた聖者。仏や菩薩、及びそれに準ずる優れた聖者や高僧仏陀。釈迦。死者。死体。死者の霊なども仏と呼ばれる。
天平勝宝5年（753）年、薬師寺にある仏足石歌碑（ぶっそくせきかひ）に刻まれた「保止気（ほとけ hotoke）」が最初とみられ、「死者shisha」の意味として用いられたのは、天暦5年（951年）の「後撰和歌集」に例がみられる。

Buddha...
handing out a lotus
in my dream
Wilfredo R. Bongcaron Manila
Chen-ou comments:
As one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols, the lotus flower represents
"the complete purification of body, speech and mind, and the blossoming of wholesome deeds in liberation."
The allusion adds religious significance and spiritual depth to the poem.
Here is my Buddha haiku:

The Buddha spoke gently,
"Once a person is caught by belief in a doctrine, one loses all one's freedom.
When one becomes dogmatic, that person believes his or her doctrine is the only truth and that all other doctrines are heresy.
Disputes and conflicts all arise from narrow views.
They can extend endlessly, wasting precious time and sometimes even leading to war.
Attachment to views is the greatest impediment to the spiritual path.
Bound to narrow views, one becomes so entangled that it is no longer possible to let the door of truth open."
Constructing the Dharma King:
Hōryūji Shaka Triad and the Birth of the Prince Shōtoku Cult
by Akiko Walley, University of Oregon
Featuring the renowned seventh-century gilt-bronze Śākyamuni (Shaka) triad at the Hōryūji, Constructing the Dharma King reveals how the impression of a Buddhist image evolved in Yamato, Japan, from the indistinct sense of divine otherness at the early stage of the transmission to more concrete ideals and values concerning families, authority, and kingship.
