The legend of Jade Guanyin and Maitreya Buddha, why are most jade pendants based on this theme?

Buddhist culture and jade culture have deep roots. Although they are foreign products, they have a profound influence in China. Buddhism is one of the three major religions in the world. It was introduced to China from India about two thousand years ago.

Buddhism was founded to save the world. Buddhist scriptures answer questions for all living beings from all aspects, and gradually Buddhism became the mainstream belief of the Chinese people.

The most common Buddhist element in jade is the wise man in Buddhism - Maitreya Buddha. The image of Maitreya Buddha is one of a broad-minded and smiling person, and he is the embodiment of great compassion.

The Buddhist scriptures say: "All human troubles arise from the mind." Looking at the laughing Maitreya Buddha, all troubles will be thrown away.

The jade Maitreya Buddha displays the Buddha's light and aura, and also has the warmth and transparency unique to jade. Wearing a jade Maitreya Buddha can remind jade lovers to learn from Maitreya Buddha, to face the adversities in life with an inclusive attitude and a smile.

Facing various problems in life calmly also expresses the hope for a better life. It is said that wearing Maitreya Buddha can bring good luck to jade lovers, and bless them with peace of mind and success in everything.

Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism. The full name of Guanyin Bodhisattva is "Namo Greatly Compassionate and Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and the distressed and has great spiritual inspiration."

It is said that as long as sentient beings in distress recite the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva will come to rescue them and relieve them of all pain and suffering.

Guanyin has thirty-two aspects. The most common image of Guanyin Bodhisattva is sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, holding a jade bottle in his hand, with a graceful and solemn expression. It is said that wearing a jade Guanyin can gain Guanyin's protection and bring the spiritual strength to overcome difficulties.

The Jade Sutra-Holding Guanyin is based on the principle of compassion and will also bless candidates to succeed in their studies. The Jade Sutra-Holding Guanyin is very suitable to be given to children who are taking exams.

The Jade Round Halo Guanyin carries holy light on her back, with a firm, steady and down-to-earth look. Jade lovers may wish to give your father a jade round-light Guanyin like this to highlight his steady aura. Among so many jade jewelry with Buddhist themes, are there any you like, my friends?
