As an ardent practitioner of 'lazy' and an expert on the subject, I can speak with authority that Buddhists are not lazy. Lazy is going to the church you grew up in so you don't have to think. You know with absolute certainty that God is a Republican and all is well.

Someone not born into buddhism but chooses to practice it, has made a strong and arduous commitment. He/she has chosen to exercise the muscle between his ears and follow a philosophy in accord with his own conscience.
Hamlet Reviewed by Hamlet on . Is Buddhism a religion for lazy people? Is Buddhism a religion for lazy people? Here's my take. Most Buddhists I know aren't really Buddhists. My understanding is that one cannot be a Buddhist anyway, because in each moment we are "becoming" we are never one thing or another. We just "are" and we have no name. I think for the greater numbe of adherents to this religion, particularly in the west, Buddhism is almost a lifestyle choice, along with Yoga and vegatarianism. Mainstream religion is too much like hard work. All that Rating: 5
