    In India, Guanyin Bodhisattva is a male body, but after being introduced to China, due to differences in cultural ideas and artistic expressions, Guanyin Bodhisattva gradually evolved into a female body, which is also the result of the changes of the times.

    Buddhism was originally introduced into the Central Plains from ancient India, and the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is a male image of a sedan chair, but later the Buddhist culture was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and gradually sinicized, because the spirit of Guanyin Bodhisattva's great compassion and relief is more in line with the characteristics of women's love, so it is gradually shaped into a female image, until now, we often see Guanyin Bodhisattva are women.

    But the bodhisattva has no gender, and what we should learn is the bodhisattva's gentle mind, quit our own bad habits such as greed, hatred, and ignorance, and not be attached to and discriminate. A practitioner who seeks supreme bodhi with wisdom, transforms sentient beings with compassion, cultivates paramitras, and attains Buddhahood in the future. Those who seek Bodhi bravely.

    As far as the two vehicles of sound and hearing and dependent consciousness are concerned, if they are viewed from the point of view of seeking bodhi (enlightenment), they can also be called bodhisattvas.

    The name of the Bodhisattva is Zai

    Hello! A bodhisattva is not a boy or a girl, because a bodhisattva is a concept in Buddhism, and it belongs to the existence of non-appearance and sexuality. Buddhism believes that a bodhisattva is a state of spiritual practice, a person with wisdom and compassion, and through practice and enlightenment, he eventually reaches the state of "Buddhahood" and becomes a great being who is liberated from birth and death.

    In Buddhism, the image of the bodhisattva is often depicted as having both male and female features, such as Guanyin, Manjushri, etc., because the bodhisattva's realm transcends the limits of gender and has a perfect combination of wisdom and compassion, so the bodhisattva can be embodied as a male or female figure, or even an asexual existence. In general, a bodhisattva is not a boy or a girl, but a realm, the goal and path of practice. Through practice, we can be like bodhisattvas, with wisdom and compassion, and realize our own value in life.

    Hope mine is helpful to you.

    Summary. Hello dear <>

    Whether a bodhisattva is a boy or a girl: whether it is a Buddha or a bodhisattva, there is no gender distinction, all Buddhas and bodhisattvas are husbands and male figures.

    Is the Bodhisattva a boy or a girl?

    Hello relatives<>

    Whether the Bodhisattva is a former Hohong boy or a girl: whether it is a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, there is no distinction between sexual wisdom and wisdom, and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are husbands and male figures.

    In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a sentient being who has made a wish to become a Buddha, a kind of spiritual realm, not a boy or a girl. Thus, bodhisattvas are not limited to a specific concept of gender. The bodhisattva's practice pursues wisdom, compassion, and merit, and is divided by dharma and realm, not gender.

    Of course, in Buddhism, there are also specific bodhisattva images with male or female characteristics, such as Patriarch Fan, Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc., but this does not mean that the bodhisattva is male or female. Hope mine answers your questions.

    1. Most of the roles of Guanyin Bodhisattva in film and television dramas are female characters, so they all think that Guanyin Bodhisattva is a female body, and some people call Guanyin Bodhisattva "Guanyin Niangniang". Shiyin Bodhisattva, in the application of the kind, can have male and female appearances. In the early Buddhist statues in China, such as the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the wood carvings of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there are many types of Guanyin images, but most of them are not worthy of appearing as men, and even have two mustaches.

    Before the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin was mostly a big husband, and it was also a woman. But later, especially since the legend of Princess Miaoshan became popular, the image of Guanyin in Han became more and more feminine, and the most important thing is that the Chinese people thought that it was more appropriate for women to do such gentle things as charity and nursing more than men. Coupled with the later Guanyin sending child skills, the female body Guanyin has a more affinity.

    2. The Bodhisattva is male or female, because the Bodhisattva incarnates as he wishes, saving all sentient beings, of course, can manifest different phases, transcend the limitations of male and female phases, and do not cling to either side, that is, "that is, male or female", which appears with fate.

That's fine. But I want to correct that arranging and composing are different concepts, composing is writing the main melody, such as adding a melody to the written lyrics, and arranging is arranging an accompaniment to the main melody, so don't confuse the two. You can compose the music first, but you don't need to make a good accompaniment to fill in the words, and vice versa. Thank you.
