Therefore, when women wear Maitreya Buddha, they may hope to be generous, to be tolerant and generous to people and things, and not care about trivial matters in the family, so as to make the family harmonious and make themselves smile and be optimistic. up.

In general, the saying "men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha" seems to be a backward idea of ​​yin and yang complementation, but in fact it reflects people's pursuit of a better life, that is, men can have the peaceful side of women, and women can Can have both the tolerant side of men and the hope that they can live a safe and happy life.
