The origin of Buddhist cultural elements and jade!

China's thousands of years of jade culture has made jade a symbol of good luck, beauty, nobility, elegance, wealth, peace, happiness and divinity. People wear jade, appreciate jade, play with jade and collect jade, which has become an irreplaceable fashion and civilization. However, the perfect combination of jade and Buddhist civilization is an inevitable development trend.

Buddhism is the most tolerant, infectious and speculative religion in the world, with hundreds of millions of believers. Every Buddhist believer has one or two consecrated items on his or her body. The characteristics of jade jewelry make it the first choice for Buddhist believers to consecrate items. They also like to give this kind of jewelry to their relatives and friends to express their most sincere wishes.

Buddha is a traditional subject commonly used in jade ornaments, playthings and pendants. The Maitreya Buddha shape chosen was created based on the image of a monk named Qibi. Maitreya Buddha is known as the Buddha of the future world in Buddhism. He has the most charitable mind and the most boundless magical powers, and helps people overcome suffering.

People have endowed Maitreya Buddha jade jewelry with the following cultural connotations: "Open your mouth and smile, smile at the past and present, and treat everything with a smile; be tolerant, tolerate the heavens and the earth, and tolerate everything with others", "Open your mouth and smile, smile at the past and the present, and treat everything with a smile; be tolerant, tolerate the heavens and the earth, and tolerate everything with yourself", "Be tolerant to things that are difficult to tolerate in the world; be kind and always smile at the funny people in the world".

Buddha carvings in jade jewelry are carriers of Buddhist spirit:

There are some differences in style between Buddha carvings and figure carvings. Buddha carvings usually portray the image of a kind, solemn, magnanimous and detached Buddhist Bodhisattva, while the modeling of figure carvings is based on the normal reality of the figure. The images of Bodhisattvas include some that are kind and serious, some with stern eyes; some with big bellies and carefree faces, and some that are always smiling; some that are otherworldly, humorous and unrestrained. Sanskrit scholars in the jewelry industry believe that jadeite, as the king of jade and originating from the Buddha land, can be shaped into a silent Buddha or a good teacher of emptiness. Jade is naturally formed, with luster and appearance. Its color is neither flattering nor vulgar, and its sound is unique. It is an excellent carrier of Buddhist spirit. Wearing a jade Buddha carving can help people practice spiritual cultivation, maintain health, calm the mind, protect safety, cultivate both blessings and wisdom, get closer to nature, and it is a friend who can lead to the secret of meditation.

When purchasing these Buddhist carvings and ornaments, many people follow the principle of "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha", and there are various opinions about him. In fact, from the development process of Buddhism, whether it is Buddha or Guanyin, its aura of "benevolence and saving all living beings" is directed at everyone. In all the Buddhist scriptures, there is no rule that men believe in Guanyin and women believe in Buddha. Therefore, people who like jade carvings do not need to worry so much. Both men and women can wear Buddha and Guanyin.
