Heck if it gets near me I might go, not to pray or anything but how often do you get to closely look at a multi-ton jade statue of anything.
Sigh.
With all these fancy schmancy Buddhas around, it’s getting harder every day for we non-enhanced, all natural, organic Buddhas to make a decent living off belly rubs and donations.
Kids these days go for the superficial thrill of rubbing a gemstone or precious metal belly rather than the true spiritual connection achieved by rubbing one made of peanut butter and cheese burgers.
Maybe if I advertise myself as the “Jaded Buddha”, it might bring in some more business. If not, it’s time for another fast.
