There are five types of jade Buddhas. See which one yours is.

Speaking of Jade Buddha, I believe that most people will think of the smiling Maitreya Buddha. But in fact, in addition to this cheerful Maitreya Buddha, there are several others. Today I will introduce to you in detail the various shapes of Jade Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha: Maitreya Buddha is one of the eight great bodhisattvas of Mahayana Buddhism. He has a big belly and nothing worries him. His image always reminds people to learn to be tolerant, compassionate and optimistic.

The Maitreya Buddha-shaped Buddha can be said to be the most popular jade Buddha. People wear Maitreya Buddha in the hope that they can be like Maitreya Buddha, less troubled by trivial matters in life, and face life optimistically and positively.

Wearers: Jade Buddha statues in the shape of Maitreya Buddha are suitable for a wide range of people, regardless of age or gender. Although there is a saying that "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha", jade Buddha statues are suitable for both men and women.

Sakyamuni Buddha: Sakyamuni Buddha is the highest god in the Western Paradise, symbolizing supreme compassion and wisdom.

People wear jade Buddha statues in the shape of Sakyamuni Buddha because they hope to receive Buddha's blessing for peace, and they also hope to comprehend Buddha's compassion and wisdom.

Wearable Target Group: Jade Buddha statue in the shape of Sakyamuni Buddha is more suitable for adults, both men and women.

Jigong Buddha: I believe everyone is familiar with Jigong Buddha. "My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, and my cassock is torn" is a song praising Jigong. Jigong Buddha combines Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism into one. He is a living Buddha in the hearts of the people. He holds a broken fan, wears tattered clothes, and walks around the world to help others. People wear jade Buddha statues in the shape of Jigong Buddha in the hope of learning his free and easy style.

Wearing crowd: The jade Buddha in the shape of Jigong Buddha is more suitable for middle-aged and older men, but not suitable for women and children.

Happy Buddha: The prototype of Happy Buddha is based on the monk Qibi, who loves freedom and enjoys being free by nature, so he was given the title of "Happy Buddha".

The Happy Buddha is very similar to the Maitreya Buddha, but unlike the seated statue of Maitreya Buddha, the Happy Buddha is usually depicted standing.

People wear the Happy Buddha statue mostly because they hope to have fewer setbacks in their lives and more freedom and ease.

Wearable audience: Jade Buddha statue in the shape of Happy Buddha should be avoided by children.

Baby Buddha: As the name suggests, Baby Buddha is a jade Buddha carved into the image of a child, which is very innocent and cute.

Regarding the origin of the baby Buddha, it is said that it is the image of Sakyamuni Buddha as a child, cute and childish, yet retains the solemnity and peace of the Buddha. Baby Buddha is not only a kind of Zen mind, but also a kind of Zen meaning of facing the complex world with a simple mentality.

Wearing groups: Children and women are the best candidates to wear the baby Buddha shaped jade Buddha.
