What is the touching story behind the Thousand-Armed Guanyin? How to choose jadeite Thousand-Armed Guanyin?

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, King Miaozhuang of Xinglin State contracted a strange disease called human face sore because he committed too many evil deeds. This disease could only be cured by the hands and eyes of one's own flesh and blood. King Miaozhuang had three daughters. The first two were unwilling to sacrifice themselves, but the third daughter, Miaoshan, liked to practice cultivation. She was the only one willing to save her father. King Miaozhuang finally recovered after taking the medicine. The Buddha was moved by Miaoshan's filial piety and gave her a thousand eyes and a thousand hands. Thus, Princess Miaoshan became the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

Buddhism believes that all living beings suffer, have many hardships and many desires, and therefore require boundless magical powers and wisdom to save all living beings. Thousand-Armed Guanyin uses her wisdom to save the world, helping people to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing. Therefore, the Jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin also has the meaning of turning misfortune into good fortune, peace and auspiciousness. So, how should we choose the Jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin?

First of all, if we want to pick a good jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin, we must pay attention to whether its appearance is good enough, whether it is symmetrical and even on both sides, its face must be dignified and kind, and its eyebrows and eyes must be clear and neat.

Secondly, when choosing a jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin, you should pay attention to whether its overall color is uniform, especially the face should be colorless or uniform in color. It is taboo to have a patchy face, and it is best not to have obvious cracks and impurities. Otherwise, it will not only affect the aesthetics, but also be an offense to the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In addition, we also need to pay attention to whether the proportions of the various parts of the Jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin are coordinated. If it is a sitting Jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin, its body length should be about three times the length of the head, and the body width should be about 1.5 times the width of the head. If the proportions are too large or too small, it will affect the beauty of the Jade Thousand-Armed Guanyin.
