Seismic Jump (V2)	When pressing the "Space" key (Jumping while transformed), the user will create a small AOE shock wave that does relatively small damage to enemies, breaks Instinct and will also jump at least 2x as high (Stacks with Angel jump height boost) (Cooldown: 2 seconds. AoE) (V2 only).
Divine Aura	While transformed, the player gains a 40% (55% if V2) damage reduction against all attacks, and can hit enemies with their melee and sword click 5x (8x if V2) farther than a normal player. In V2, the player's hitbox is above water and thus has the water-walking passive ability. If dragged underwater, the user will take damage unless they have Shark V2, V3, or V4. Although, your offense is not amplified while in Buddha form.

Overview

Pros
Cons

Normal
Awakened

Pros (Unawakened)
General Not too difficult to obtain, for what it is worth. Possibly the best fruit for grinding, due to its range buffs. Extremely high value in trading. (Can be compared to Mythical fruits) All moves (not including Z) break Instinct. All moves (not including Z) deals decent damage. Massively increases the range of M1 attacks on Swords and Fighting Styles.
[Z] Transform Quick start. Smaller hitbox when compared to its awakened version, making it easier to avoid moves. Significant increase in M1 range when transformed. M1 hitbox increase assists players who use Swords and Fighting Styles. Best fruit for grinding Fighting Styles and Swords Mastery, and also decent for grinding Guns Mastery (use Fighting Styles or Swords for dealing damage and finish off with Guns). Damage reduction stacks with Aura and Accessories.
[X] Impact Decent AoE.
[C] Buddha Leap Good mobility. Jumps extremely high and far.
[V] Buddha Explosion Decent AoE.

Pros (Awakened)
General More effective than its unawakened version as it extends the player's reach further (although it does not offer much more mobility).
[Z] Shift Offers a jump boost and deal decent damage. Gains ability to walk on water freely without taking damage due to hitbox placement. Damage reduction increases further. Deals decent damage, especially considering its extremely low cooldown.
[X] Heavenly Impact Decent damage. Decent AoE.
[C] Light of Annihilation Extremely long distance. Large AoE.
[V] Twilight of the Gods Extremely big AoE. Breaks instinct and stuns the target upon hitting. High damage. Great for gathering enemies due to its extremely big AoE.
[F] Retribution Dash Good distance. Good for starting combos.

Normal
Awakened

Cons (Unawakened)
General Unreliable for combos due to many fighting style and sword moves not working properly when transformed. Transform (Z) must be active before using other moves Only 3 moves deal damage. Ice can easily counter Buddha using combos which include the [C] or [V] move. Most moves cannot be held (X, C and V).
[Z] Transform Increases your hitbox, allowing enemies to hit you more easily. Unlike its awakened version, you cannot move freely on water, therefore making it inefficient for travelling between islands.
[X] Impact Long startup. Small hitbox.
[C] Buddha Leap Difficult to aim, and cannot be interrupted once started, with a small amount of endlag.
[V] Buddha Explosion High endlag makes you can be vulnerable to counterattacks. High knockback.

Cons (Awakened)
General Buddha Raids are very difficult to complete. Shift (Z) must be active before using other moves. Your hitbox enlarges further, allowing enemies to hit you much more easily. Bad for fighting sky campers.
[Z] Shift Lacks mobility. Considerably larger hitbox than its unawakened version, allowing you to be hit much easier. The transformation takes some time to complete and is laggy, possibly providing an opening for the enemy. Holds the user in place, making it easily punishable. You may glitch into the ground while transforming.
[X] Heavenly Impact Long startup, making it punishable and easy to miss.
[C] Light of Annihilation Long startup (2 seconds). Difficult to hit opponents in the air.
[V] Twilight of the Gods Weak when used midair. Can usually be avoided by running away.
[F] Retribution Dash Single target. Very difficult to hit.

Tips & Tricks

The rabbit race does add speed, but the difference is less when transformed. This is because the Rabbit buff for Buddha got nerfed.
- Accessories provide speed boosts normally.
Total damage reduction when stacked with full body Aura is 67.8%.
- Using Shark V3's Water Body or Cyborg V3's Energy Core' will make your defense almost up to 100%, and wearing Swan Glasses will make your defense close to 100%, too.
Using Ghoul race and Ghoul Mask with Buddha. Each time the user uses an M1 attack on a player, it will heal the user 35% of the damage done to said player (EG: DMG dealt:2000=700 health regain). And hitting an NPC will heal the user 7.5% of damage done to the NPC (EG: DMG dealt:2000=150 health regain).
V1 Buddha moves can be used while in V2 form, however, V2 moves cannot be used in V1 form.
It is highly recommended to use Ghoul (race) whilst grinding with Buddha as the passive life-leech allows the player to more efficiently defeat swarms of NPCs and bosses.
Pilot Helmet and Rabbit race will allow the player to move at a moderate speed if V2, the Agility (V3 ability) can help if you aren't in Third Sea.

Trivia

Buddha used to provide the user with extra health, but this was changed in order to balance the transformation.
The Chinese/Japanese characters around the awakened version of the transformation mean: 草 (grass), 体 (body), 心 (heart), 魂 (soul), 火 (fire), 水 (water), 風 (wind), and 岩 (rock), even though the more common version of rock is 石.
Similarly, the symbols in the outer circle are derived from Elder Futhark runes, and they represent ᛓ (wealth), ᚨ (god), ᚷ (gift), ᛖ (horse), ᛟ (heritage), ᛈ (pear-tree), ᛝ (the god Ingwaz), ᛗ (man), ᛢ (yew-tree), ᛉ (elk), ᛃ (good year), ᚹ (joy), ᛋ (sun), ᛞ (day), ᚱ (journey), and ᛒ (birch). It’s the symbol of the Colosseum Quest.
In real life, the "Buddha" is a religious figure who founded the religion of Buddhism, an extremely popular religion in Asia.
Buddha and Control are the only fruits that buff weapons. Additionally, this is the only fruit that buffs Fighting Styles.
Buddha's [X] and [V] moves (unawakened) have the same sound effect as one of the Sea Beast's Water Beam moves (while charging).
Buddha's [Z] move (unawakened) has the same sound effect as the Shocker's Electrical Floor but modified (pitched down).
