Buddha statues can be worn by both men and women. According to Buddhist tradition, everyone has a bodhisattva or Buddha to protect you from birth, and the day you were born, you became attached to the doomed Buddha.
Buddhism believes that as long as you humbly worship Buddha and the Buddha is always by your side, you can turn misfortune into luck, and your career, fortune, love, study and health will be significantly improved.
The extended message "Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha" is actually a kind of folk blessing and a folk custom. "Men wear Guanyin" mainly because of business people and exam takers in the past. They are all men, and men are often grumpy. The Guanyin Bodhisattva in Han Buddhism is a female body and a symbol of compassion and softness. "Men wear Guanyin" is to hope that men can be gentle. ?
The "Buddha" of "women wearing Buddha" refers not to Buddha Sakyamuni, but to Maitreya, and it is a potbellied Maitreya statue. Because the ancients thought that women were narrow-minded, Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva with a big belly looked like a smiling face and a big belly, indicating that happiness was measured.
