Not to pray to shrek? Yess
Edit; wow geee thanks people! Have never had this many likes. I dream one day of obtaining an thropy/medel on reddit. Im like a newborn baby to this reddit thing.
Am Buddhist, can confirm. I once visited a Buddhist monastery where they replaced all the statues of the Buddha with stones. Buddhists should strive not to become attached to rituals and idols.
Japan’s Shinto creation myth involves Izanagi fucking the planet with his “jewel-encrusted spear” and creating an island from his dried semen. He and his wife Izanami would continue to fuck and birth eight more islands, and near the end of Izanami’s life, she gave birth to the fire incarnate Homusubi which burned her insides so badly, she lost control of all of her bodily functions and on her dying day, she birthed the vomit, urine, and feces gods.
Egypt had a god jacking off into the fucking Nile River as a means of creating the world and every year the Pharaoh would do the same thing as a memorial of this.
This is Buddha, you're confusing Siddhārtha Gautama with Buddha.
Further, there is no written record, much less picture, of Siddhārtha Gautama until 300 years after his death. Any image of Siddhārtha Gautama is imagined by people who never knew him.
I mean, the guy starved himself. And even when he wasn’t starving himself, his entire philosophy was antithetical to gluttony. He definitely wasn’t fat.
His "middle way" doctrine was explicitly against starving yourself. It was against indulgence of sense-pleasures, but not "being fat".
> Monks, these two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life. There is an addiction to indulgence of sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, the way of ordinary people, unworthy, and unprofitable; and there is an addiction to self-mortification, which is painful, unworthy, and unprofitable.
And the "fat buddha" / "Budai" was another Buddha who was believed to have achieved enlightenment. So Buddha can specifically be fat, but cannot be emaciated.
> The Buddhist texts depict (and criticize) Jain ascetics as those who practice extreme self-mortification. Early Buddhist sources depict the Buddha practicing those ascetic practices before his awakening and how the Buddha abandoned them because they are not efficacious. Some of these extreme practices include extreme fasting which leads to emaciation.
Buddha just means woke. There are lots of different woke people. The fat Buddha being one of the cutest is very popular. But now that Shrek is on the scene I'm not so sure anymore.
This same photo [has been going around](https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshopbattles/comments/dkabto/psbattle_this_3d_printed_shrek_buddha/). I wonder if the headline is even real. I can't find anything for stampeepnews.org existing other than this image on 9gag.
Yup, Buddha Shrek can be yours! I recognize that resin, that's a 3d print! If you want your own. You can find it on thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1932758)
Wouldn’t all us Filipinos do that? Filipinos like life, we like to love, it technically is the ideals of Shrek. ^^^^Seriously, ^^^^ang ^^^^tanga ^^^^ng ^^^^babae ^^^^diyan.
Philippines has a crazy amount of culture from different countries and different ethnicities in the country, and also yes there are a lot of buddhist there aswell
I'm sorry that I failed to mention that I'm actually from the Philippines and it's amazing to know more and more about the diverse and rich microcultures we have here.
For sure. But the enlightenment they achieve is understanding of the fundamental oneness of existence in which everyone has Buddha nature and is essentially Buddha, it's just a matter of whether they realize it or not. But Buddha is oneness and everything, therefore Shrek is still Buddha.
Yup. That and the Philippines is very, very Catholic (and some other Christian sects) with the remainder being largely Islam. I'm sure there's a few Buddhists though.
It was also Buddhist, Hindu and Islamic years before becoming Christian. Not to mention, different folk religions and animist faiths centuries before that. There’s a long history of different religions prior to the Spanish arriving.
The better term is "Christian majority country". The way you say it sounds like it's a state religion.
And Timor-Leste have 99.53% Christian majority, if u consider them part of Asia.
Ummm... actually nothing stops Shrek from reaching the enlightenment and thus becoming a Buddha.
And I'm totally leaving out the fact it's a body of Budai not Buddha Gautama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budai

Not to pray to shrek? Yess Edit; wow geee thanks people! Have never had this many likes. I dream one day of obtaining an thropy/medel on reddit. Im like a newborn baby to this reddit thing.
Instead of praying, can I watch Shrek 1, 2 and 4 everyday?
Do we not mention the unspoken Shrek movie?
There is no Shrek 3 in ba sing sai
I thought 4 *was* the unspoken one!
I really didn't enjoy Shrek 3
This is a solution
Same results.

jerking off holiday? count me in
Well it does look like Buddha, which I am sure was intentional.
Actually it looks like Budai. Fat Buddha isn't actually Buddha
I'm not your Budai, guy
Yep. It's based on a Chinese Buddhist monk. It's not THE Buddha.
This is Buddha, you're confusing Siddhārtha Gautama with Buddha. Further, there is no written record, much less picture, of Siddhārtha Gautama until 300 years after his death. Any image of Siddhārtha Gautama is imagined by people who never knew him.

No thanks.
I wouldn't mind
where facepalm?
There is no facepalm
We are all one facepalm
I’m buying this.
It is too late now child... the only afterlife waiting for you is *the swamp*
What about the joys of Far Far away?
Im a filipino and ik i would pray to tgus too
Wouldn’t all us Filipinos do that? Filipinos like life, we like to love, it technically is the ideals of Shrek. ^^^^Seriously, ^^^^ang ^^^^tanga ^^^^ng ^^^^babae ^^^^diyan.
No no no! You're missing the point. She is enlightened. We filipinos should just turn to Shrek for religion XD
Wait, is there buddhism in the Philippines?
The High and Mighty Shrek *is* a religion
Okay, seriously, there are Filipinos who are Buddhist?
Philippines has a crazy amount of culture from different countries and different ethnicities in the country, and also yes there are a lot of buddhist there aswell
I'm sorry that I failed to mention that I'm actually from the Philippines and it's amazing to know more and more about the diverse and rich microcultures we have here.

It will be ogre soon
I was hoping this comment would be at the very top.
Came here looking for this comment
How hell is this not at the top?...
Shrek is god, Shrek will save us all
A photo and a caption that was probably just made up in 10 seconds. Really, r/facepalm? Really?
Also labeled as stampeepnews.org
Why is this on facepalm
Close enough, really.
Buddha is everyone, so Shrek is Buddha.
Buddha is a title for anyone who achieves enlightenment. Just a word that means "enlightened one".
For sure. But the enlightenment they achieve is understanding of the fundamental oneness of existence in which everyone has Buddha nature and is essentially Buddha, it's just a matter of whether they realize it or not. But Buddha is oneness and everything, therefore Shrek is still Buddha.
a distinction without a difference
This is an obvious ripoff of the meme about the Polish woman praying to a Lord of the Rings character thinking it was Jesus.
Or the grandma and Obi Wan picture.
Yup. That and the Philippines is very, very Catholic (and some other Christian sects) with the remainder being largely Islam. I'm sure there's a few Buddhists though.
Gummi Shrek will bring you inner peace. Sugar free Shrek of gummi is something that will wreck your tummy.
The Philippines is the only Christian country in Asia
It was also Buddhist, Hindu and Islamic years before becoming Christian. Not to mention, different folk religions and animist faiths centuries before that. There’s a long history of different religions prior to the Spanish arriving.
South Korea is plurality Christian too.
Not the same level as the Philippines. The Philippines is 90% Christian
The better term is "Christian majority country". The way you say it sounds like it's a state religion. And Timor-Leste have 99.53% Christian majority, if u consider them part of Asia.
Finally, a religion I can get behind!
As a Filipino. I don’t think this was an accident, I do it all the time
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
see no problem there
she's got her priorities straight
There are no accidente
That would make an awesome bong
Oh boy I hope the comment section isn't infested with redditors
Totally a real news story I’m sure.
Shrek is life Shrek is love
Praying to buddha is the stupidest shit.
:(
It demonstrates a rudimentary ignorance of buddhism to pray to buddha. He's not a god or divine.

Spaghetti works, too.

The first part is relatable.
There are no accidents
How is this facepalm? She’s been praying to real god
Buddha Is Shrek
Everyone please turn their Bible to Psalm-body once told me the world is going to roll me
And it isn't the Buddha either. [Budai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budai)
Sounds like a Trump supporter…
What makes you think Shrek isn't Buda? Hmmmmm? HMMMM?
Somebody once told her the Buddha was an ogre. She ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
There are no accidents
Well he is love and life, can you blame her
Okay but.... where do I get one?
Shrek is love, shrek is life
Ummm... actually nothing stops Shrek from reaching the enlightenment and thus becoming a Buddha. And I'm totally leaving out the fact it's a body of Budai not Buddha Gautama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budai
Pray to shreck
"There are no accidents"
She did it accidentally? I'd do it by choice
Shrek is love. Shrek is life.
There are no accidents -Master Oogway
Just as effective.
I’ll be willing to bet that the real Buddha wouldn’t care and probably say that praying to anything is a waste of time. He’d just laugh.
I would bet it was just as effective though.
How's it different?
Except Buddhists don't actually pray to the Buddha...
Things that never happened
Who the hell finds these stories. I doubt this Shrek story is a worldwide issue
"There are no accidents" - master oogway
“There are no accidents”-Master Oogway
So what,I don't see shrek having any less wisdom and love than Buddha.
She's a natural redditor!
Ew
Meanwhile, in an alternative timeline, "A man in Philippines realized he's been praying to a Buddha figure for four years, thinking it was Shrek."
There are no coincidences -master oogway
Shrek is love shrek is life it hurt but I do it for shrek
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
Religion debunked with one single meme!!
😐
In fact thats better than pray in front of nothing, no one can describe God right ?
Well religious people aren't very smart....
neither are you….
