Why is it called Maitreya spring? Why is Spring in Buddhism called Maitreya spring? The statue of Maitreya looks funny and unlike other Buddhas why? (MINH TAM, Bao Loc, Lam Dong) Spring in Buddhism is called Maitreya spring because the start of the new year is a holiday. of Maitreya Buddha (the 1st of Tet). New Year's Eve celebrates the New Year and is also the celebration of the birth of Maitreya Buddha (According to the late HT.Thich Thien Sieu - Phap Thoai Dau Xuan). On the other hand, Maitreya is a living Buddha symbolizing joy, joy, joy, tolerance, forgiveness and forgiveness. This is also the first wish of the spring of the Buddhas, to pray and wish for a spring of joy and happiness. Therefore, the Buddha's rejoicing spring, in addition to celebrating the usual new spring, also carries the meaning of celebrating Maitreya's birth and efforts to study and transform himself to always be happy, happy, forgiving and tolerant like Him, should be called Maitreya spring. The problem of the image of Maitreya, in fact, he is the Firstborn Bodhisattva who is currently residing in the chamber of the Dau Tu heaven. He is a contemporary Buddha, of course has 32 good forms and 80 beauty like other Buddhas. The statue of Maitreya that we are worshiping with a large belly, a smiling mouth and a large bag of plastic in hand is an emanation of Maitreya's emanation as the Venerable Master (The Venerable Venerable Venerable) in China. . During his life, no one knew he was the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha. Everyone knows only one Venerable Bo Dai, a monk who is dressed in moderation, carries large cloth bags, is always smiling, distributes candies regularly and has fun with children. He practices depending on conditions, joy and freedom. Before he passed away, he left a poem: "Maitreya feet Maitreya / Heavenly encounters the body / Time of the world / Time of the world is often subconscious". (Meaning: Maitreya is truly Maitreya, the incarnation of a hundred thousand memories, often teaches people, but people don't know). At that time, people knew that he was the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha and carved a statue to worship. Thus, the statue of Maitreya Buddha that we are worshiping today is the image of the Venerable Bo Dai, an incarnation of Maitreya Buddha, thus not similar to the statue of other Buddhas.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.28/1/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
