Buddha:
This version depicts the Buddha of the Coming (Maitreya), whose cult has reached China from India. Its shape, in the 10th century, comes from miraculous monks who have become legendary since the time of the Sung Dynasty. It symbolizes the end of human suffering, entering the heavenly realm after death. In the preaching of Benares, the Buddha explained that salvation is not led by the pursuit of sensual pleasures, nor by excessive self-pity, but by the middle ground of moderate renunciation. To do this, one must know the four noble truths that lead to liberation from desires. The method for this is the so-called following a noble eightfold path: the right attitude, the right thinking, the right speech, the right action, the right life, the right aspiration, the right inquiry, and the right contemplation. The Buddha symbolizes the forgiveness and lightness with which all obstacles can be overcome and good luck. His presence radiates serenity, security and infinite love.
