Because the young man looks like Maitreya, he became popular and was taken home by the rich woman. What was the result?

Buddhism has a long history in China. Folk people believe that suffering and poverty in this life can be exchanged for blessings in the afterlife through faith. This kind of spiritual comfort makes people live in front of them willingly, which is also an important reason why rulers are keen on preaching. Among the Buddhist gods, the images of arhat, Guanyin and Maitreya are very popular. It has always been said that men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddha are enough to be loved. There is such a person who looks like Maitreya Buddha. After he became popular, he was taken home by a rich woman to "raise". This anecdote can be described as strange. What's his situation now?

Maitreya is a widely loved deity, which has been highly respected since ancient India. As a symbol of the future, Maitreya Buddha greatly embodies people's longing for a better life, so it has a wide range of believers. In addition to being highly respected in the hearts of ordinary people, it is also very popular among literati. Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem about Maitreya: Destiny robbed cishi. It can be seen that Maitreya Buddha has had a far-reaching influence in China since the Tang Dynasty.

When it comes to Maitreya, people often think of an old man with a big belly and a charming smile. In fact, the early image of Maitreya Buddha is not what we see today. The original Maitreya Buddha was originally a tall and thin bodhisattva with a serious expression. According to legend, he was taught by Buddhism and taught human Buddhism. Since then, it has gradually evolved into the image of a big-bellied Buddha laughing barechested.

As early as a few years ago, a man who looks like Maitreya Buddha attracted the attention of netizens and became an online celebrity. This man has a kind face and a charming smile. Like Maitreya, he has a big, bulging belly. After wearing cassock and beads, he is very similar to the traditional image of Maitreya Buddha. And that man also cleverly took advantage of this advantage, often sitting in the street disguised as Maitreya Buddha, attracting everyone's onlookers and taking pictures. Many believers even give some money as a "blessing".

Surprisingly, it is such a paunchy man who was attracted by a "rich woman". What is even more unexpected is that the rich woman attracted this man not to fall in love and get married with him, but to wrap him up and let him make money on the Internet and TV programs, which can be said to be a veritable tool.

It is a pity that the Buddha, who should be admired and given a spiritual pillar, has now become a layman who is bent on making a fortune and entertaining the world. I wonder how religious believers will feel when they see this scene. There is no shame in making money with characteristics and skills, but is it too much to use people's belief in seeking Buddha and doing good?
