Background
According to Buddhist sutras, there are ten thousands of Buddhas in the world, which implys “infinity”. The information accessible on the Internet also brings us the feeling of “infinity”.
“I am a buddhist” combines these two “infinity” in an ironic way. Buddhists nowadays no longer spend hours or even days to worship every Buddha statues separately. And there’s a Chinese proverb called, “One never goes to the temple for nothing.” which is the satire of utilitarianism.
Living in a fast paced society Vs. Zen philosophy: living in the present
Digital media disturbances and violations take up most of our time, too easy to get information with the convenience of tech Vs. Ritual activities in Buddhism are often involved with repeated and cumulative acts, to have that emotional engagement (devotion or faith)
