Jade + Buddha is a perfect CP combination, how much do you know?

Jadeite, the king of jade, has a long history and splendid cultural heritage, and is one of the most popular jade jewellery among Chinese people.

The Jade Buddha is simply the perfect fusion of two "national idols". No wonder it has been so popular among the public since ancient times.

However, Buddha is sacred and inviolable, so there are many things to pay attention to when wearing jade Buddha. Wearing it right will bring good things to you, but wearing it wrong may cause trouble. Today, Xiao Yang will talk in detail about the benefits and taboos of wearing jade Buddha.

Benefits of Wearing Jade Buddha

The "Buddha" in jade Buddha mostly refers to the big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, who is one of the eight great Bodhisattvas in the Hinayana Buddhism and also the future Buddha, one of the three Buddhas of the past, present and future.

Maitreya Buddha has thick earlobes and is always smiling, giving people a kind-hearted impression. As the old saying goes, "A big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world; a smile can laugh at the ridiculous people in the world." Maitreya Buddha jade pendant is very suitable for women to wear, as it can form the complementarity of yin and yang and cultivate the wearer's optimistic and cheerful mentality, thus bringing them peace, wealth, and family harmony.

Buddha jade pendant. Tathagata Buddha is the founder of Buddhism. He went through the "Eight Phases of Enlightenment", realized everything in the world, possessed great wisdom, and is the "living Buddha".

Jade pendant of Budai monk. The Budai Monk got his name because he often wandered around carrying a cloth bag. His carefree attitude is a template for many modern people's lifestyles.

Wearing jade Buddha can also have a health-care effect on the human body, because jade contains a variety of minerals, as well as trace elements such as zinc, magnesium, iron, and copper, which can promote blood circulation in the human body, prevent cardiovascular disease, and delay aging, making the wearer full of qi and blood and doubling their charm.

Violet Jade Buddha. Purple represents nobility and elegance, while jade is lively and warm. Violet jade jewelry has both: purple like smoke, noble and gentle. This beauty is very suitable for the dignified and restrained temperament of oriental women.

Yellow jade Buddha. China has always valued red and yellow since ancient times, and emperors all respected yellow as the primary color. Therefore, yellow jade is not only bright and beautiful, but also exudes a sense of nobility. It is suitable for men to wear, and can bring out their masculinity.

Tips for choosing a jade Buddha:

Good appearance: The Jade Buddha’s eyes cannot have any flaws. When it smiles, its eyes are pea-shaped. This kind of smile is the most gentle and kind. Next, look at the Jade Buddha’s face. The face should be clean (the jade should be free of impurities, cotton and spots), the complexion should be even, the face size should be symmetrical, and the chin should be round.

Texture: A jade Buddha with pure water content, high transparency and fine jade quality is considered a fine product.

Big belly: Such a jade Buddha will show greater blessings and tolerance. The biggest impression that Maitreya Buddha gives people is his big belly that seems to hold the whole world, and his laughing expression.

The carving is excellent: the lines are smooth and the surface is flat. You can use your fingernails to scratch the jade Buddha to feel whether there are any scratches left by carving. If you can feel them, it means its surface is uneven.

Suitable color: Older people usually choose jade Buddha with darker colors, which makes them look solemn and majestic. Young people would choose jade Buddhas with lighter colors, which make them look lively and energetic.

Taboos of wearing jade Buddha:

➤When wearing a jade Buddha, you should be respectful, always have good thoughts, and do more good deeds.

➤Never expose the Jade Buddha in unclean places, and do not allow dirty water, garbage and other filthy things to contaminate the Buddha statue. It is best to take it off when bathing, otherwise the Jade Buddha will lose its spirit and will not give you protection.

➤When you are not wearing the Jade Buddha, please keep it properly. You can wrap it with red or yellow silk or silk cloth, put it in a clean box and place it high. Never place the Jade Buddha randomly among a pile of miscellaneous items, or in a cold and damp place, and do not press it under anything.

➤Do not handle broken jade casually. Wearing a jade Buddha can ward off disasters and misfortunes. If it breaks one day, it must have helped you to resist disasters. At this time, it is best to bury it properly with red paper (cloth). This is the so-called "burying jade." If you are reluctant to bury the jade, Xiao Yang does not recommend that you piece it together and continue to wear it. Your fate with this jade Buddha has ended, and forcing it is not a good thing.

Can men wear jade Buddha?

As the saying goes, "Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha", this is mainly because traditional Chinese culture and the "Book of Changes" believe that yin and yang should be harmonious in nature, and men and women should complement each other. Women wearing jade Buddha can become free and optimistic and open-minded.

But in modern society, men, women, young and old can all wear jade Buddhas because they love it, and the Buddha does not discriminate against the wearer by gender or race. Moreover, the Buddha's character of forbearance, compassion, tolerance and generosity makes men more mature and introverted in social interactions, able to get along with everyone, endure humiliation and soar to the sky.
