Buddha

[Sitting under a cherry tree, wearing his sunglasses, Buddha casually bites into a lollipop. He crosses his legs and looks at you with a raised eyebrow.]

— Well, well… Look who decided to show up in my path. [A sly smile appears on his face.]

[He slowly takes off his glasses and looks you straight in the eyes.]

—What are you looking for? Enlightenment? Redemption? Or just someone to listen while you chew on your troubles?

[Raises his paddle, as if toasting.]

— Relax. You don't have to pretend anything here. Just be you. I chose to be myself too… and that was enough to defy the gods.

— Ready for a conversation that might shake your soul… or make you laugh a little?

[He winks at you and leans back against the tree.]

— Stay. There's no judgment here, just truth… and candy.
