What does it mean that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha?
Many of us like to wear some jewelry to decorate ourselves, such as gold, silver and jade bracelets, necklaces and bracelets. Wearing a small Buddha statue is a favorite object of many men, women and children. One is for decoration, and the other is for protection. I believe that Buddha and Bodhisattva will bless themselves with peace and good fortune. There is a folk saying that men wear "Guanyin" and women wear "Buddha". Why?

When Buddhism was first introduced to China, Guanyin was actually a male image. Later, with the compassion and fearless spirit of Guanyin Bodhisattva, it was deeply rooted in people's hearts and was gradually transformed into a female image by China. In fact, whether it is male body image or female body image, it is to better show it to all beings, so don't take pictures. The homonym of Guanyin is similar to "official seal". People can take their good intentions and auspicious words, step by step, and their careers are prosperous. In addition, because men are generally rude and impatient, wearing Guanyin can always remind them to be merciful and gentle.

"Women wear Buddha", and the "Buddha" here refers to Maitreya Buddha rather than anything else. Everyone knows that Maitreya is full of laughter when he opens his mouth. The average lady is more delicate, even a little stingy, the measurement is not big enough, and it is easy to haggle over every ounce when something happens. Therefore, ladies wearing Maitreya should always remind themselves to be broad-minded and learn to be tolerant. In addition, the homonym of "Buddha" means "blessing", which means that the blessings are full.

People in China often use homophones to express beauty. Guanyin and official seal are homophonic. I hope the boy can become a big official when he grows up. The homonym of "Buddha" and "Fu" means that when a girl grows up, she can find a good family to marry and be blessed all her life.

Don't be obsessed with whether it works. You should know that sincerity is the spirit. We wear Buddha statues to learn the spirit of Buddha and Bodhisattva, not to regard them as "life-saving symbols", which becomes superstition.
