뜻
Describes a relaxed, indifferent attitude towards life and competition.
문화적 배경
The term is a reaction to 'Involution' ({内卷|nèijuǎn}). It's a way for young people to protect their mental health in a hyper-competitive society. The original 'Buddha-like men' ({佛系男子|fóxì nánzǐ}) were criticized for not contributing to the economy or birth rate, but they saw it as personal freedom. Similar to the 'Quiet Quitting' trend in the West, {佛系|fóxì} represents a boundary-setting exercise at work.
Use it for self-defense
When someone pressures you to do something you don't want to do, saying '{我很佛系|Wǒ hěn fóxì}' is a polite way to say 'I don't care enough to try.'
Not for your boss
Never tell your boss you are {佛系|fóxì} about your KPIs unless you want to be 'Buddha-like' about your unemployment.

The 'Triple' response
