Ooooh, here let me give you some insight. So, I'm part Korean and I've been exposed to tons of east Asian ~things~. Martials arts, architecture, religion, etc. In Buddhism, there are various forms/portrayals of the buddha. Each tend to mean different things. My favorite is the laughing, fat buddha, also known as the happy buddha (there's prob a real name for it out there). The buddha is literally a statue of a really fat buddha dude and he's like super happy. He's fat and happy cause he doesn't have to worry. He has enough to eat, etc. While I'm not saying "be fat" or "gain weight," I think its important to remember to pursue happiness and to aim to achieve a state of content-ness and fulfillment.
