A Filipina prayed for four years to a Shrek figurine, mistaking it for Buddha

One day, her friend, who came to visit, noticed that the figurine did not match traditional images of Buddha. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was Shrek, made with a 3D printer and styled as Buddha, since the character was dressed in a robe resembling a monk's garment.

At first, the woman was puzzled, but soon she and her friend laughed about the situation. As she noted, the sincerity of prayers and good intentions are more important than the form of the figurine. She decided not to part with her "talisman" and will continue to pray in front of her "green Buddha."

This case is reminiscent of a similar incident last June in Premlok Park in Pune, India, when water unexpectedly flowed from the trunk of a royal bougainvillea.

Local residents perceived this as a divine miracle and began to gather to worship.

However, it later turned out that the "holy water" was the result of a damaged underground pipe, allowing water to seep through the hollow trunk of the tree.
