Can some one explain what does this means "His sexual organs are concealed in a sheath (Pali: kosohitavatguyho). "..?

"He's not circumcised," presumably. -Dan 20:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Or he's just wearing a loin cloth. --172.206.146.215 09:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

This article containt significant amount of information. Unfortunately, this is an example of orphaned article. The title of the article make it impossible to search. Dharmakaya is the right term. I have linked dharmakaya article in Buddha article. So if the content of this article is shifited to Dharmakaya, more people get to read the information presented here. Vapour

I think it would be confusing to merge the two. Dharmakaya is one of three 'bodies' of the Buddha in Mahayana Buddhism: a philosophical subject. The physical characteristics of the Buddha are used mainly in the study and production of Buddhist art. The dharmakaya article is in the main (as I read it today) very difficult to understand. But to merge it with the physical attributes-page does not solve that. It is probably useful if both articles do link to each other, but a separate article on the physical characteristics of the buddha is certainly useful.

Don't merge. Might retitle this "Nirmanakaya" or something. RandomCritic 05:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I heard that the number of curls on a Buddha statue/image is also fixed... I remember around 110 curls or so.. does anyone have a source/confirmation on this? (SuperMidget)
