Buddha Bar is borderline offensive?  

 

The Buddha-Bar is a bar, restaurant, and hotel franchise created by French-Romanian restaurateur Raymond Vișan, with its original location having opened in Paris, France in 1996.^[1] The Buddha Bar "soon became a reference among foreign yuppies and wealthy tourists visiting the city",^[1] and "has spawned numerous imitators",^[2] becoming popular in part because of the DJ's choice of eclectic, avant-garde music. It became known internationally for issuing the Buddha Bar compilation albums, which are popular compilations of lounge, chill-out music and world music, also under the Buddha Bar brand,^[1] released by George V Records. Buddha Bar "has made a name for itself with its Zen lounge music CDs and remains a hit – especially with tourists".^[3] Locations have since been opened in a number of other countries, although not without controversy arising from the theme.

Speaking of buddha & cartoons.

 

There is a netflix series entitled Record of Ragnarok with buddha portrayed in it.

Buddha in cartoons ^

 

From the quoted article:

 

Quote

Controversy over use of Buddhist imagery

[edit]

The use of the Buddha as a popular icon has been noted to be offensive to some conservative Buddhists.^[12] In 2010, Buddhists in Jakarta protested the operating of a Buddha Bar in that city, asserting that "the use of their religious symbols in a venue serving alcohol was an affront to their religion".^[13] The Jakarta location was co-owned by the daughter of Indonesian politician and former governor of the region Sutiyoso, and was closed by court order later that year.^[14]

 

Personally, I am not easily offended, and this stuff doesn't bother me a whole lot. Although, I suppose it did enough for me to register a comment.  Using the imagery of the thousand eyes and hands as tool of violence is pretty gross. 

 

There is a cannabis dispensary here in town called Zen Leaf. Now, zen is a culturally watered down term here in the US, but it would an interesting exercise to change the name to "Christ Leaf" and see what happens. Or maybe change the name of Buddha Bar to Jesus Christ Bar. It's pretty tasteless. 

 

Sorry for the drag off topic. I am happy to end it here.

I would like to say I gave up on people.

 

After seeing how little use they had for science or facts during COVID in 2020.

 

But the more honest assessment is, people gave up on themselves.

 

There's no need to try to say anything smart or insightful.

 

People have no use for such things.

 

I do 

 

and I will thank you to NOT  put your overall judgement on me that was formed within and from your  own limited experiences . 

 

All you have accomplished in acting like an idiot here ( for some time ) is to add more stupid to the  stupid soup and made people think you are not capable of anything smart or insightful . ... which you now claim to be capable of   ?  

 

In any case it's an admission on your part so I feel justified in writing you off and not seeking to  penetrate into the diamond quality I believe each possess  - but a few deny or cannot find within themselves . 

 

- But maybe I am just too much of an optimist .

I wasn't active on daobums during COVID.

 

And didn't see your response to it.

 

What makes you think I was referring to you?

 

Anyways done with this dialogue.

 

Back to cartoons.

I see ... its deliberate then is it ?  

 

Why not 'jazz up' the internet a bit  then and grace it with something better than cartoon comparisons  with subjects some here take rather seriously ? 

It's been a deliberate pattern since the first posts here.

 

 This awareness seemingly compulsively exemplifies a shallowness of character in a desire to lash out and a nigh on complete lack of sincerity in communication.  I honor your desire to engage them and attempt to 'lighten' their laden load.

and which has nothing whatsoever to do with what I wrote . 

 

But anyway , I predicted a personally safe space from it , not getting it , Australia doing well during it compared to many other countries ,  it personally benefiting me and the environment and  a financial boon . of course some here mocked and reviled me for that ... but as usual , my predictions where right . 

 

I'm  wondering now if you  got infected by COVID and what long term  effects it had  on you

I said 'I DO "   and now you wonder why I think you where 'referring to me ' ?     What ? I am not 'people' now ? 

 

Your cognition regarding what you write seems faulty .

COVID actually improved my health.

 

Lost sense of taste and smell.

 

Also lost all sensation of hunger or wanting to eat something.

 

Went 3 days without eating, had a nice fast that improved my health.

 

With COVID there was 1 day where I felt weak & slept more than normal.

 

Then the illness was gone.

Which aspect of science was useful to you during COVID?

 

I learned some things about viruses and medical science during that time.

 

And 99.9% of whatever I learned was 100% useless to most.

 

So it seems anyway.
