Pretty funny, but I always wondered why there's a fat buddha. From what've read, it derived from a Chinese tradition in which fatness meant health and fortune.
This is shinning a light on how we focus on the image rather than what these god's and religions truly stand for. I believe that this cartoon does make a valid point that is easy for the reader to understand.
This is very humorous and so true because they always make out Jesus to be blonde hair, blue eyes but the fact of the matter is that it does not matter, people should focus on the religion and teachings rather than the appearance.
This is funny because it seems like cultures are depicting their gods or the person they look up to as the standards in their culture. we make jesus out to be blonde and blue eyed because that is what is "beautiful" or what people are supposed to look like and the same for buddha.

This is obviously a satirical comic, but it also portrays many of the concerns that minority followers may have with the depiction of an important and charismatic leader of their faith. There is strong dissension, especially among the African and Hispanic communities of the depiction of Christ as someone that looks nothing like one they could relate to on a religious or even social level. It also points to the European dominance and euro-centric focus of Christianity.
The humor portrayed in this comic is of satirical nature, which happens to be my favorite kind of funny. What Buddha is referring to is the nobody-can-depict me rules is called anthropomorphism, he attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a god, animal, or object. Islam and Judaism are some of the religions that deem this wrong, because it can lead to idolatry. Mainly because no one knows what God, or holy prophets looked like. Kamron above me here makes a great point...minorities struggle to have a leader that resembles their ethnicity and European dominance does take a lead focus on Christianity, where most people are white.
That's funny XD

ReplyDeletethis is especially funny because the buddha pretty much starved himself to reach nirvana. kind of ironic
ReplyDeletePretty funny!! It did take me a few minutes to understand it though lol.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty funny satire. There are so many depictions of how Gods from different religions look like, however no one knows for sure.
