Social media has more or less reduced the elaborately pluralistic #religion of #Buddhism to a series of self-satisfied, ineffectual, cliches and bullshit truisms of the "be nice" or "everything changes" kind. 🙄

Oh my yes, I've seen rather a lot of that. There's a sobriety forum I'm a moderator on that's had a "daily Buddha" feature for years, and it's exactly what you're talking about. I've sometimes corrected a garbled sutta quote, because I simply cannot let something like that stand, but otherwise just sigh and move on.

@AndyLowry @jayarava 'real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter'... sorry couldn't help it!

But, there ain't much laughter on social media

Yeah, not lately anyway. I've gone out of my way to follow as many funny people here as I can. 😎
