In an Indian Art History class, I've seen countless images of the Bhudda in a war chariot, surrounded by heavy cavalry, and with a servant holding a parasol over his head. Well, actually, I didn't SEE the Bhudda, since at that particular time period, he was not shown in an earthly form, so he is invisible. So was he going to war, or just on a crusade to bring enlightenment? Either way, if he tried it today, looks like he'd get dissed.
