Laughing at the ridiculous people in the world means that all beings in the world can't see through these illusions and think that they are persistent and have something, and they don't know the phase of life and death, and they don't know the reason of impermanence. Therefore, in all the illusions doomed to life and death, we are separated, chosen, greedy, persistent and entangled, and finally we can only be entangled every day and troubled all our lives!

Maitreya is the most popular Buddha statue in China, and almost all temples in China have statues of him. There are many couplets in Maitreya Buddha Hall, which is the kind of Tanzhe Temple in Beijing.
In all the temples in China, Maitreya always looks like a paunchy, smiling and lazy man. In fact, the earliest Maitreya Buddha was not like this. The evolution of the Maitreya Buddha statue into our common appearance today is related to the combination of Maitreya belief and the legend of the cloth-bag monk in China.
In the Five Dynasties, there was a monk in the Liang Dynasty, who was a Zen monk in Fenghua, Zhejiang. He is broad-minded, fat and bare-chested. He carries a cloth bag every day, walks in the market and begs for a living. His name is Changting Zi, known as "Changting Bag Master" and "Bag Monk". Because he is always smiling and happy, he is also called "laughing monk".
About the second year of Zhenguan (9 15 ─ 92 1), the monk died in the temple. On his deathbed, he said: "Maitreya is really Maitreya, with thousands of members in two places;" Always showing the time, people don't know. " Therefore, people in later generations say that he is the incarnation of Maitreya. Later, people took the bag monk as the prototype and shaped Maitreya Buddha.
