Buddha

This is my lovely Buddha that is in my Reiki room but- Who is the Buddha?

One may think that the Buddha was a human. But the Buddha denied this too. Once a Brahmin named Dona, approached the Buddha and questioned him.
"Your Reverence will be a deity ?"

"No, indeed, brahmin, a deity am I not," replied the Buddha.

"Then Your Reverence will be a god?"

"No indeed, brahmin, a god am I not."

"Then Your Reverence will be a human being?"

"No indeed, brahmin, a human being am I not."

"Who, then will Your Reverence be?"
The Buddha replied that He had destroyed Defilement's which conditions rebirth as a god or a human being and added:
"As a lotus, fair and lovely, By the water is not soiled, By the world am I not soiled; Therefore, brahmin, am I Buddha!
