Relating to or characteristic of Buddhism, Buddhist philosophy, or Buddhist practices; highly Buddhist in nature.
From 'buddhistic' plus the suffix '-al' meaning 'of or relating to,' creating an older or more formal variant. This layered suffix construction (Buddhist + -ic + -al) shows how English builds intensity and formality.
The fact that English created 'buddhistic' AND 'buddhistical' shows how different eras added their own flavors—'buddhistical' sounds more formal and old-fashioned, like something from Victorian-era philosophy books!
