Qing emperors believed in Buddhism, especially Manjusri Bodhisattva, and Empress Dowager Cixi was also called Lafayette. This title adds a bit of majesty and mystery to her. Later, Cixi wanted to become an immortal, and her idea was also related to her title of Lafayette. Cixi used to dress up as Guanyin Bodhisattva and take big photos, so everyone in the palace called her Lafayette. Lafayette respects Buddha and worships Buddha. She dressed up as a master of Guanyin and held a clean bottle in her hand, also to adjust her mood and achieve the purpose of keeping in good health.
Sometimes when she is in court, the ministers report the military situation and don't take care of Galeries Lafayette's mood. Eight hundred miles of urgent military reports come up one after another, which is often bad news. At this time, Cixi is naturally angry and anxious, so her face will become particularly ugly.
Whenever Cixi was very angry and retired from the DPRK, she would consciously adjust her mood and immediately return to her palace and enter the West Room. There is a quiet room where there are white tuas. When Cixi arrived, she sat in front of the Buddha statue for 40 minutes. No matter how urgent the battle report and the military situation are, she is not allowed to be disturbed. At this time, she devotes herself to Buddhism, so as to calm her emotions and wash her mind.
The process of worshipping Buddha can calm her down and relieve her anxiety. When Cixi came out 40 minutes later, it was already cloudy and sunny, and it became very pleasant.
