As I got interested in Buddhism, I found that the idea of Gods does not truly exist in the original teachings. However, the multitudes of Buddhist religious groups have quite a large number of gods, especially here in Japan. At first, I thought it was just one of the many means the religious leaders used to gather large amounts of money and power. I mean, most organized Buddhist religious sects are LOADED and have no problems showing it off - thanks in part to these gods and their 'power'.
However, when I saw this little guy, I was instantly enlightened. How can something so CUTE ever be used to warp the intentions of an otherwise wonderful way of life? I left it a tenner. So precious.
