Text on the meme
Girls practicing Buddhism: OMG the female deities are so empowering! I love the focus on universal compassion! Boys practicing Buddhism: Cause the asuras, barbarians and those who are hostile to the teachings To be reduced to dust, like dry grass consumed in a fiery blaze! Swiftly bring about their eradication, their annihilation, we pray! YES
What it means

The clip contrasts girls practicing Buddhism, who praise female deities and universal compassion, with boys practicing Buddhism, whose prayer asks for hostile beings, barbarians, and asuras to be annihilated. The joke comes from the exaggerated contrast between a gentle, socially progressive interpretation of religion and an aggressively wrathful ritual, ending with the deity approvingly saying “YES.” Ominous ritual-style music supports the dark, theatrical punchline.
