How to choose a jade Buddha?

When selecting a Buddha statue, one should consider many aspects such as carving, water quality, appearance, color, etc.

Carving : A good Buddha statue has a round belly, beautiful overall shape, harmonious proportions, and a vivid facial sculpture.

Since ancient times, it has been said that people with round chins will be blessed with more fortune and a longer life, so when choosing a jade Buddha, try to ask for one with a round and delicate chin. The rounder the chin, the more blessed the person is. Never choose a jade Buddha with a pointed chin.

When choosing a Buddha, choose Maitreya Buddha, whose biggest feature is its big and round belly. "Big belly" means "generous", which shows the wearer's tolerance and generosity. Therefore, when choosing, you should choose one with a big belly, but also be moderate. If it is too big, it will affect the overall proportion of the jade Buddha and the aesthetics will also be affected.

The belly of a jade Buddha should be higher than its face, that is, the belly and the face cannot be on the same plane. The jade Buddha is generous, and the bulge in the belly can show the compassion of our Buddha.

In addition, you should also choose a pea-shaped smile, as this is the most perfect smile, and the kind-looking jade Buddha will also highlight his compassion.

Water quality : The finer the texture and the better the water head, the higher the value.

Color : Green is the most valuable color in jade. Under the same quality, colored colors, especially green, purple, floating flowers, Fu Lu Shou (green, red and purple coexisting), red, yellow, etc., can increase the overall value of the jade Buddha.

Meaning : It depends on personal needs. Different Buddha shapes will have different meanings. Maitreya Buddha symbolizes tolerance, elimination of worries, and optimism, and is suitable for women to wear; Xiaoyao Buddha, as the name suggests, symbolizes being unrestrained; Budai Monk symbolizes attracting wealth and fortune, and not being fussy about trivial matters; Jigong Buddha symbolizes the complete Buddhist path, and not being afraid of the powerful, etc.

The last point in choosing a jade Buddha is visual appeal . The first impression is the basis for proving whether you have a connection with the Buddha. When you see a smiling jade Buddha and feel comfortable with its big round belly, nothing else matters.
