My mother, a former factory worker in Shenzhen, uses one daily to ~~"accumulate merit" and~~ "deliver sentient beings to the afterlife."

	<p style="margin-bottom: 16px; line-height: 1.7;">Shenzhen produces most of the world's cheap electronics (including various Buddha machines) while being China's most overworked city. Many people now turn to repetitive technologies for relief from spiritual exhaustion. These individuals can neither return to their past lives nor fully enter new systems—they exist in a floating, suspended state, much like the "sentient beings (ghosts)" the sutra player is meant to deliver.</p>		<p style="margin-bottom: 16px; line-height: 1.7;">Shenzhen produces most of the world's cheap electronics (including various Buddha machines) while being China's most overworked city.

Through researching Buddha machines, I discovered a paradox: this cheap, glitch-prone, lo-fi device, precisely because of its simplicity and imperfection, leaves abundant space for interpretation. Glitch is not a defect. Glitch is an opportunity.</p>

	<p style="margin-bottom: 16px; line-height: 1.7;"><strong>Key Question:</strong> Can repetitive technologies loosen the framework of reality and become tools for exercising minimal agency?
