Meaning
This reads as a modest way of naming a worldview without turning it into a hard label. It points to personal affinity, not a declaration of formal identity, and suggests that Buddhist thought shapes how the speaker understands life, ethics, and attention. It lands in moments when someone is explaining their values to others, especially when a simple answer would miss the nuance.
