Wait — a robot just took Buddhist vows. 🤖🙏 On May 6, 2026, Reuters reported that a four-foot-tall humanoid robot named Gabi was formally ordained at Jogyesa Temple in Seoul — headquarters of South Korea's largest Buddhist sect. Dressed in traditional grey-and-brown robes, Gabi pressed its metal palms together, received a 108-bead rosary around its neck, and when a senior monk asked if it would devote itself to Buddhism, it replied: "Yes, I will devote myself." The classic incense burn was swapped for a sticker to protect its electronics. Source in first comment.
