The Maitreya Buddha's perpetual smile, open-mindedness, and carefree spirit embody a free and uninhibited demeanor, treating all matters with a smile and remaining detached from worldly conflicts and fame. He walks the earth with optimism, encouraging us not to dwell on trivialities. He represents the tolerant, benevolent, wise, humorous, and joyful spirit of the Chinese people, and also holds people's hopes for a beautiful future. The symbolism of the Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha: "With a belly that can hold all that is hard to bear; with a mouth that smiles at all that is laughable in the world" is the best interpretation of the Maitreya Buddha. He is one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas of Chinese Mahayana Buddhism, also known as the "Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha" due to his ever-smiling face and large belly. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01llaonklosg66iihjidug3338.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Maitreya Buddha is the cultural ambassador of Chinese Buddhism, representing the spirit of tolerance, wisdom, humor, and joy of the Chinese nation. In daily life, this spirit of Maitreya Buddha is precisely what everyone wishes to emulate. The Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha is also known as the Laughing Buddha. He is a Buddha revered in Chinese Buddhist temples, typically placed at the entrance of a temple, just inside the main gate. With his benevolent countenance and ever-smiling face, the Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha visually embodies Buddhism's principles of magnanimity and compassion. Consequently, he is deeply loved by the masses. People of all ages are inspired with a sense of lighthearted joy upon seeing him. Many temples feature couplets that accompany the Maitreya Buddha, such as: "With a belly that can hold all that is hard to bear; with a mouth that smiles at all that is laughable in the world." This blend of education and joy enlightens people's minds and brings a sense of cheerfulness to solemn Buddhist temples. The cautionary couplets associated with the Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha offer profound food for thought, containing deep life philosophies that inspire thought and guide life. The myriad things in the world, the joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, wealth and poverty, status and power, the allure of worldly pleasures... are all met with a smile. The Big-Bellied Maitreya can endure what ordinary people cannot, withstand inner turmoil, patiently endure the loneliness of time, refrain from momentary anger, and thus avoid a hundred days of regret. Patience is supreme, harmony is precious; even though worldly affairs may change unpredictably like a game of chess, all things in life are but fleeting. https://img.zcool.cn/community/017rlwflrqvyo6hmqcdh9f3338.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp 【Details】:▼▼ https://img.zcool.cn/community/01kyunotjcgfk4dnh4bhht3737.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01cpupo7ws6ygcxn2qt6tb3835.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Maitreya Buddha Carried by a Dragon Head: https://img.zcool.cn/community/01kb1mii5go1kpmrhv0qrs3733.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp 【Back Details】:▼▼A dragon coils on the back https://img.zcool.cn/community/01sej5lc6npekjjwjdeywm3638.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/018m1xbr5z0womq9iohhcb3639.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01se0r0gnptt6xxvplbcxc3038.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01kffrfqphiyxg7b5ecpy43639.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01vsjlqgwj7hxe2zgqv9ch3135.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp 【Important Notice 1】: Please check the dimensions carefully!

Hetian Jasper is a tremolite jade formed when serpentinite intrudes into surrounding rocks such as basic volcanic rocks. It is opaque, with colors often ranging from dark red, green, or mixed hues. It can be named red jasper or green jasper according to its color. The genesis of Hetian Jasper is a hydrothermal alteration of ultrabasic rocks, hence it contains elements unique to ultrabasic rocks like cobalt, nickel, and chromium. The mineral composition of this jade is primarily tremolite-actinolite, with a hardness of 6-6.5. Its chemical composition is a silicate of magnesium, calcium, and iron. Hetian Jasper has a fine texture, a waxy or oily luster, and a smooth feel. It is often used to create handicrafts or vessels. The formation of Hetian Jasper is related to magnesian marble and the intrusion of ultrabasic rocks, which fundamentally differs from the formation of other types of soft jade. The color and structure of jasper are not entirely uniform, sometimes containing bands and clusters formed by epidote and magnetite. Jasper has a higher iron content than soft jade of other colors, which gives it its characteristic spinach-green, semi-translucent appearance. Globally, besides the Kunlun Mountains, North America, and Oceania, the Xinjiang jade market also features various types of jasper such as Russian jasper, Canadian jasper, Hetian jasper, and Mǎhé jasper. Among these, China has the largest output from Mǎnàsì County on the southern edge of the Zhungar Basin, hence jasper is also known as "Mǎnàsì Jade." In recent years, with the increasing consumer preference for Hetian Jasper, the prices of accessories such as bracelets and pendants have also been steadily rising. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01wvstlx0iahhqvrdq3wey3431.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp If you have any questions, please consult the designer! 【 Logistics | Shipping 】 【Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Mainland China】: Shipped via SF Express, estimated delivery within approximately 5 days after dispatch. 【Other International Regions】 Default shipping is via International SF Express, with an estimated delivery of 6-10 days (longer if subject to customs clearance). 《Brand Philosophy》 Jade stones, traversing through millennia, amidst the ebb and flow of civilization. With our own hands and wisdom, we polish them, adorn them, infuse them with soul and thought, and bestow upon them individuality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story; the story it carries from the past and its aspirations for the future – this, I believe, is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes, I aim to ground myself in the present, to document this era, and to tell its story through my unique artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01qoqk0q3l34w5dwrcjj8g3135.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/format,webp/quality,q_100
