These statues are part of an art exhibition in Budapest.
The New World Design for Contemporary Art presents almost 600sqm of the world of the Great War, which can be seen as the epoch that radically changed the world order of the time: the formerly stable empires have dissolved, culture and public thought have changed dramatically. World War II buried the old world, the result of a new world conflagration and then the Cold War. Europe was bleak in the twilight that the 20th century was dominated by America and Russia.
The exhibition takes visitors from happy peace to enthusiasm for war and bitter disappointment. It shows how the civilization of civilized and global warfare was fought, how the 19th century came to a standstill and the hinterland became the battlefield. The nature of war has changed: victory has now become a function of the amount of war material.

Frozen garden statues stare
Blankly into nothingness
Eyes that see all but do not
Perceive anything.
I am frozen, cold as ice,
All of me is blank and numb.
I have eyes that see as well,
I'm just a statue.

Budai is a nickname of a fat Chinese monk Qici (契此) who lived in the 9-10th century always carrying a big cloth sack that is called budai (布袋) in Chinese.
Budai is believed to be a reincarnation of Maitreya in Vietnam and southern China. Sun World brochure writes that it is a statue of Maitreya.
Maitreya is a Bodhisattva of Mahayana Buddhism. It is multi-theistic with many Bodhisattvas, which makes a contrast with Theravada Buddhism that is basically a faith about Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha.
Mahayana Buddhism was formed while it was being overwhelmed by Hinduism. They tried to survive by insisting gods of other religions to be members of the Mahayana pantheon. Many Hindu gods and goddesses are worshipped also by Mahayana Buddhism as minor deities.
Maitreya is supposed to have its origin in Iranian god of Mithra and share the root with Greco-Roman Mithras. In this sense, he is an expatriate in the Mahayana pantheon. It is interesting that he now has a Chinese appearance.
