No. At least not in any unique way beyond loving humanity.

No. I don't know the guy personally to determine his character. He has very well thought of teachings (he and his disciples). But I feel there's a difference between "loving" his teachings and loving him. That last part sounds odd for any said to be wise person we never met in person.

That'll be news to him then because Buddhism denies the existence of a soul.

Because Buddha was kind and loving to other humans and animals. And his teachings is very good for everyone
I love Buddha
Do you love Buddha?
Yes. For me, it is impossible to not love someone who gave up a comfortable life in order to find a way to end suffering for everybody.

I have a question. In Christianity having a relationship with Jesus is seen as though he were God. So, the relationship through scripture have to do with his spirit but flesh. So when someone says they love Jesus, it's not the person but who he is incarnated of.
The Buddha was human and not God (any type of spirit). From what I gather it's about practice but belief.
So, if one loves The Buddha's teachings and that changes the person I get. But it makes me think like Christians loving Christ when you say you love the Buddha and more so why.

Do you see The Buddha as a spirit or someone with whom the Buddha is incarnation of?
I don't know how one can love a human they haven't met but I can see God given it's experiential and teachings, but not the person.
