I just finished reading this and the moral of the story is: just be born with buddha nature like these rocks bro. And "Humanity bad!" - says the robot who revenge killed humans with a meteorite because someone wronged his creator
What a shit way to end such a good manga

It's a critique of Pure Land Buddhism, the version of Buddhism the author grew up with. Unlike usual Buddhism that focuses on self control and improvement, Pure Land focuses on prayers. This led to the extreme situation where literally everyone else needed Phos to pray for them while Phos is left without anyone to pray for her. The bro and rocks aren't human and that's a good thing. The humans were selfish and stopped caring about Phos other than as a tool for their needs.
