The best appearance for a woman is to cultivate such a look

Things have no form, form is created by the mind. Visible things are actually not things, and tangible things are actually not things.

Appearance is determined by the mind, that is, a person's facial features are determined by his state of mind. The humility you show towards others, the elegance of your conversation, the poetry and books you have read, the rich inner world, etc. will all be reflected in your face. How you treat life and how life treats you will eventually be reflected in your appearance.

The ultimate praise for female beauty is not beauty, but bodhisattva

Everyone says that a good woman is like Buddha. His face is like a full moon, his eyes are like blue lotus, his eyebrows are lowered with kindness, his gaze is solemn, his steps are like lotus, his breath is like orchid, his actions are kind, his movements are like water...

Whenever we mention the appearance of a Bodhisattva, the image of a gentle, amiable, dignified and graceful woman always comes to our mind. Bodhisattva not only symbolizes the beautiful appearance and demeanor of women, but also embodies the compassionate and pure qualities of women. Bodhisattva is originally a transliteration word in Buddhism, which is the abbreviation of Bodhisattva Mahasattva, and can be translated as awakened sentient beings. It means the awareness of all emotional and spiritual life.

In India, all Bodhisattvas are male, usually with a tall and handsome image. Moreover, the Buddhist scriptures say that when all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas achieve Bodhi, they are neither male nor female, and they respond to the circumstances, reflecting the basic doctrine that all beings are equal and there is no superiority or inferiority.

However, when Buddhism was introduced to China, the image of Bodhisattva began to change. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the image of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became a female. For example, the image of Manjushri Bodhisattva, who represents Prajna wisdom, also gradually showed feminine tendencies. This also reflects the Chinese people's subconscious worship and aesthetic ideal of women - kind and dignified, gentle and elegant, broad-minded, and selfless.

The "appearance" of a Bodhisattva refers to the obvious and distinct physical features. For example, the Buddha has thirty-two characteristics and eighty virtues, such as slender fingers, broad and flat heels, straight body, round shoulders, voice like that of a Brahma king, and white and dense teeth. However, the Buddha's majestic virtues are not innate, but are acquired through cultivation. Every time he cultivates a hundred blessings, he becomes more majestic. A Bodhisattva must practice for a hundred great kalpas before he can achieve a good appearance, that is, the majestic appearance of a hundred blessings.

The Diamond Sutra says: If you see me with your eyes and seek me with your voice, you are following the wrong path and cannot see the Tathagata.

What does it mean?

If one seeks the true Buddha nature through beautiful appearances and pleasant sounds, that is a kind of evil knowledge and view, and one cannot understand the true nature of the Tathagata.

For example, among all the Buddha's disciples, Maudgalyayana, who was the most gifted in supernatural powers, once wanted to test the voice of the Buddha's preaching, so he flew to the Eastern Buddhist country infinitely far away from the Saha world. It turned out that the Buddha's voice was still the same as before. There was another heretic who, having heard that the Buddha's body was 16 feet long, became skeptical and used a ruler to measure it. However, when he measured 16 feet, there was still 16 feet left, and he would never be able to measure enough.

It can be seen that the Buddha's golden appearance is so beautiful that it is impossible to describe it all with the thirty-two marks and eighty kinds of good qualities!

In fact, the reason why a goddess is called a goddess is not just because of her beauty. For us who live in the secular world, no matter how beautiful you are, you cannot withstand the test of time and your youth will eventually pass away. Since beauty is only fleeting, is it necessary to spend a hundred great kalpas to correct it?

It is said that beauty, good looks and good posture are not as good as a beautiful heart. Only the brightness in your heart can nurture lasting pleasure.

If you want a beautiful appearance, you must have a bright mood

"The Sutra of Impermanence": Worldly affairs have no form, and form is created by the mind. Visible things are actually not things, and tangible things are actually not things.

Appearance is determined by the heart. A person's appearance is determined by his state of mind.

A sculptor who likes to sculpt monsters and demons. One day when he looked in the mirror, he suddenly found that he had become ugly. Ugly does not mean that the skin color and facial features have changed, but that the expression and demeanor are very ferocious and strange. So he visited many famous doctors, but none of them could cure him. Once, when he was visiting a temple, he told the elders of the temple about his distress. The elder said, I can cure your illness, but it can’t be for free, you have to carve a few statues of Guanyin for me first. During the sculpting process, the sculptor constantly studied the image of Guanyin, simulating her kindness, goodness, gentleness and generosity. After carving three statues of Guanyin, he found the elder and asked: Please help me cure my illness. The elder said: No need, your illness is cured. When the sculptor looked in the mirror, his facial features became clear and energetic.

This is what is called appearance is determined by the mind. You are what you think about.

If you observe carefully, you will find that people's appearance and aura are undergoing subtle changes every day. No matter how beautiful one's appearance is, it will never remain unchanged. But it will definitely rise and fall with the turmoil in people's hearts. Sorrow will produce corresponding wrinkles; happiness will produce a completely different smile. All the changes in the world are caused by the thoughts in one’s heart. As the saying goes, if there is mind but no form, the form follows the mind; if there is form but no mind, the form disappears with the mind.

If you want to look good, you have to have a good mood.

Cao Xueqin wrote that the melancholy and sickly Daiyu had two curved brows that seemed to be frowned but not frowned, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy. He also wrote that the kind and cowardly Yingchun had plump skin, was gentle and silent. He wrote that the smart and capable Tanchun had beautiful eyes and well-shaped eyebrows, and a lively look in her eyes. Melancholy people have furrowed brows, generous people have gentle eyes, and confident people naturally have upturned corners of their mouths... These habits will change the face over the years.

Similarly, your humility in dealing with others, the elegance of your conversation, the poetry and books you have read, and your rich inner world... will all be reflected in your face. How you treat life and how life treats you will eventually be reflected in your appearance.

To take care of your face, you must first take care of your heart

We usually say to judge people by their appearance, but in fact, it is more appropriate to say judge people by their features. What we judge is not beauty, but good looks. Good looks means seeing the breeze and moon in the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, being pleasing to the eye in every gesture, and maintaining elegance and composure even in the most difficult years.

Guo Wanying, the fourth daughter of Shanghai Wing On Company, was beautiful and wealthy when she was young and was the center of attention. But when she was 50, her husband was labeled a rightist and died in prison. She was driven out of the mansion and forced to clean toilets until her fingers became deformed. During the Cultural Revolution, even if she was reduced to sweeping toilets, she would still wear cheongsam. Once she put on a cheongsam, all the traces of suffering on her face disappeared.

In the narrow corridor, without an oven, she used a coal-fired stove to steam St. Petersburg-style cakes. Without the finest tea sets, she used an enamel mug and drank her homemade afternoon tea every day without fail. When reading, use tweezers to turn the pages, and try to remain calm and elegant.

This Shanghai princess tells us through her life experience that a person's elegance does not lie in appearance or wealth, but in the nobility of her heart.

Guo Wanying

Saying that someone is good-looking is by no means referring to superficial beauty. It is the qualities of a person after stripping away the appearance. It is the aura that can be distinguished at a glance even among a vast crowd of people. This is the appearance of the soul.

Painter Chen Danqing said: In the highest sense, a person's appearance is his person.

Therefore, to take care of your face, you must first take care of your heart.

As Mr. Yang Jiang said: I read in order to meet a better self.

A person's inner cultivation ultimately determines his appearance.

The Diamond Sutra says that when faith is pure, the truth will be born.

Appearance can be changed gradually. Good manners and a kind expression will radiate an attraction from the inside out, making those who see it feel like spring breeze and eager to follow suit.

The famous movie star Audrey Hepburn was stunningly beautiful when she was young and she is still stunningly beautiful when she is old. Why can she become the goddess among goddesses? The secret lies in her last words:

If you want beautiful lips, speak kind words;

If you want lovely eyes, you must see the good in others;

If you want a slim body, share your food with the hungry;

For beautiful hair, it is to have children's fingers running through it;

If you want to walk with grace, remember that you are not the only one walking along the path.

To be human is to be full of energy.

Repent, reflect and grow yourself instead of complaining to others;

When you need help, you can turn to your own hands;

When you get older, you will find that your hands can solve many problems.

One hand is used to help yourself, and the other is used to help others.

If you want a good appearance, you must first have a beautiful heart. Appearance is determined by the heart. A kind heart is the noblest appearance. This is the true Bodhisattva appearance of a woman.
