Although jade Buddha statues are nice, you can’t wear them blindly! There are some rules for wearing jade Buddha statues

As the saying goes, wearing gold shows wealth, while wearing jade ensures safety. Whether because they believe in it or seek psychological comfort, many people like to wear jade pendants. Among the many jade themes, religious-themed jade carvings represented by Buddha are undoubtedly the most popular.

Religious beliefs can often bring people inner peace. Whether it is the big-bellied Buddha or the kind-hearted Guanyin, they can make people calm and good luck will follow.

However, you cannot wear it casually, especially those crudely made jade Guanyin and Buddha statues on the market, which not only have no value for collection or wearing, but also affect the appearance.

So what are the considerations when choosing a jade Buddha?

1. Look at the eye

If you look closely, you will notice the Buddha's appearance and expression. The first impression is particularly important. Only jade that looks comfortable can bring you blessings and protection.

Face

The most notable feature of the Buddha is his smiling face, which gives people a kind and comfortable feeling. Therefore, the Buddha's face must be clean, without any impurities or cracks. Special attention should be paid to not choosing an asymmetrical yin-yang face.

Eye

Buddha needs to look in all directions and take in all the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of the world. This shows how important eyes are to Buddha. The Buddha’s eyes can be open or closed, but no matter which one, the carving is required to be delicate and of uniform size.

abdomen

A broad mind can accommodate the affairs of the world, and magnanimity can create blessings for generations. The belly of the Buddha represents tolerance, which can accommodate everything. It is also a symbol of blessing. You can’t skimp on ingredients, but you must also follow the proportions.

2. Look at the germplasm

The finer the texture of the Buddha statue and the better the water head, the higher its value. The delicate and warm texture matched with the Buddha statue gives people a hazy beauty and a lively atmosphere. It is dignified and elegant when worn.

3. Look at the carving

Buddha statues are figure sculptures, so the carving technique is particularly important. The carving should be lively, not dull, and the shape should be full and round. For example, the belly and face of Maitreya Buddha should be round. The lines are smooth, the surface is flat without scratches, and the proportions are even.

4. Look at the size

When purchasing a jade Buddha, you should choose according to your body proportions. If you are thin, choose a smaller pendant; if you are tall or plump, you can choose a relatively large pendant. There is no hard and fast rule. There is no need to pursue size deliberately, as long as the proportions are right and you like it.
