1, Buddhist perspective
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva has made great progress, her heart is folk and she can't bear to see all beings suffer. If she keeps looking at the world with her eyes open, she will be disturbed by the troubled world, but if she closes her eyes, she will not see the suffering of the world. Therefore, Bodhisattva looks at the world with Zen mind and shows compassion to those in need.
2. Angle of the wearer
When Jade Guanyin stands on our chest and bows her head every day, it seems that Guanyin is staring at herself with compassion. I feel very practical and secure in my heart, as if Guanyin has been protecting us.
Second, do men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha? Women can also wear Guanyin!
Many people know that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha". Ancient men went out for business and exams, and wearing Guanyin meant being safe. At the same time, Guanyin homophonic "official seal" is worn by men to gain a good impression, hoping to be the champion and honor their ancestors; Men are relatively impatient, Guanyin is gentle, and wearing Guanyin can increase the sense of stability.
And "women wear Buddha" is to hope that women are less jealous and narrow-minded, like Maitreya Bodhisattva, and more tolerant. In fact, Buddhism has no fixed phase, and Buddhism is boundless. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can be worn by both men and women regardless of gender. There are also: men wear official luck and women wear the word fu.
Does that mean that men can't wear Buddha? Women can't wear Guanyin? Of course not!
Both Buddha and Guanyin are amulets symbolizing good luck and auspicious feeling. Guanyin is also called "Guanyin" in myths and legends. In addition to Guanyin, there are boys and girls who are good at money, and women who wear Guanyin can also protect and pray for future generations.
For men, Maitreya, with a big belly and a smiling face, also has a beautiful meaning of "Laughing at life". Because men in modern society are under great pressure, Maitreya, who often smiles, can improve his mood and let him face all kinds of difficulties calmly.
Therefore, as long as you like, as long as it has something to do with what you wear, you can wear Guanyin and Buddha. I hope some consumers will not blindly praise the saying that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha". In fact, the meaning of "women wear Guanyin and men wear Buddha" is just as beautiful!
Third, please refer to four aspects.
1, the shape should be symmetrical.
No matter what kind of Guanyin is, the proportion should be symmetrical, and sitting Guanyin is the most common one. Guanyin's body length is about 3 times of the head length, and its body width is about 65438+ 0.5 times of the head width, which is the best proportion.
2, uniform color, suitable
Jade is rich in color, so try to choose a clean surface without obvious flaws and cracks.
3. Believe in eye margin
Please go to your favorite Jade Guanyin, called "Become attached to her", and choose Jade Guanyin. If you see it at first sight, it means you have eye contact. Don't hesitate. This kind of Jade Guanyin has the best protection effect.
4. Technology
The carving of Jade Guanyin must be smooth, so as to better protect people's safety.
Fourth, wear Guanyin and don't do these things.
1, don't wear jade Guanyin when taking a bath, so as not to knock or fall off, and you will feel disrespectful to Guanyin;
2. After wearing Guanyin, don't wear it for three days or two, but wear it all the time. It is said that this can better protect peace;
Don't let outsiders touch your Guanyin casually, and don't show it to others at ordinary times. The amulet worn on the body is forbidden to be seen by outsiders and touched by outsiders;
If you don't wear it for a while, remember to wrap it in red cloth, put it in a box and put it on a high place.
5. Good wishes include Guanyin and them.
1, Jade Buddha: Be kind to others.
"A big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world; Open your mouth and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world. " Wearing jade Buddha can always remind us to be tolerant, optimistic and open-minded. "Buddha" and "Fu" are homophonic, wearing it can be blessed, and the generosity and modesty of Buddha can help us get rid of the habit of jealousy and meanness.
2, water droplets: soft and hard
