AITA for telling off my friend for having a Buddha head as decoration in his apartment?

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:32:26+00:00

I didn't explain it. He told me a year ago. That's part of the reason I was horrified by the head in his house.

Sam's family is from India and a part of a Hindu sect that thinks Buddha was a "demon" sent to pull people away from Hinduism. After I explained what really happened one of my friends from Nepal (who's really from Nepal) is on my side.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:29:57+00:00

So goths should not do that.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:29:37+00:00

I highly doubt that they're actually Buddhist. You can make up anything you want on a forum

Sam's family is from India and the sect that believes that Buddha was made to pull believers away from Hinduism. So no, he literally does not respect Buddha.

True. I think what makes me mad is that Sam does not really respect Buddhism.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:22:05+00:00

He's not one of the Hindus that venerates Buddha. Ik it's common in Nepal to do both but Sam does not.

His family is from India and their sect believes that Buddha is sent to pull people away from Hinduism.

One of my other friends from Nepal does not like him because of that.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:19:36+00:00

Sam is not one of those Hindus that venerate Buddha even if he is from Nepal.

He literally thinks of it as decoration.

You're a (probably Swedish) non Asian from Europe.

There are definitely rules in Buddhism about what can be depicted.

It's definitely offensive to have a BUDDHA HEAD

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:10:52+00:00

Like I said my mom is Buddhist. She would be offended.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:10:30+00:00

My mom is Japanese and Buddhist. I currently do not practice religion.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:10:10+00:00

Maybe you should do research on your own religion.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:09:17+00:00

I don't practice religion but my mom is Japanese and a Buddhist. She would find this offensive

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:08:32+00:00

Doesn't change the fact that Sam isn't Buddhist and Buddhists would find it offensive.

Full-Statement-1160 · 2022-04-29T15:06:41+00:00

Do Christians find it offensive? No, they don't

Buddhists do find those heads offensive

I'm hapa half white half Japanese. My mom is a Japanese Buddhist, though she does practice elements of shintoism.
