After the Japanese healing mobile game Travel Frog became a huge hit, the term "Buddhist-style" has become a popular buzzword recently, being applied to various aspects of life, including Buddhist-style youths, Buddhist-style frog-raising, and Buddhist-style travel. Buddhist-style has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, representing a state and attitude of seeing through the vanity of the world and living life in one’s own way.

1. Plan your itinerary on-site
Buddhist-style living is also making its way into travel—no rushing or competing, just going with the flow. No detailed plans are made before the trip; instead, the daily schedule is arranged upon arrival, embodying the true essence of independent travel.
2. Leisurely itineraries without haste
Planning a relaxed itinerary allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of urban and suburban life—for example, strolling during the day, having tea, dining, listening to music, and then quietly sitting in a nostalgic town at night, enjoying tranquility and serenity, embracing the Buddhist-style lifestyle and mindset.

3. Solo travel
Buddhist-style living tends toward low desire and even shows anti-social tendencies, allowing one to better enjoy solitude. Integrated into travel, it is also well-suited for solo journeys and slow living.
4. Low desire, low cost
Buddhist-style travel, with its low-desire nature, means keeping budget and material desires minimal, while focusing on spiritual fulfillment—thus simplifying travel and avoiding unnecessary hassles.

5. Follow your own preferences and pace
The Buddhist-style attitude finds it troublesome to accommodate others and doesn’t want to waste time—your own interests and passions always come first. As a result, you’ll want to do almost everything in your preferred way and at your own pace.

Buddhist-style isn't actually a new term—it originally came from Japan, referring to otherworldly men, reflecting young people’s tendency to avoid marriage, children, home-buying, and car ownership. After becoming a buzzword in China, its meaning expanded beyond specific personality traits to represent a broader life attitude.
