Most of the Buddha statues and Guanyin statues are half closed for the following reasons: First, they are more kind and peaceful.

Guanyin and Buddha statues are meant to benefit all beings. When facing Buddha statues and Guanyin statues, people should first feel peaceful. If these Buddha statues keep looking at mortals with their eyes open, they will give people a sense of oppression, so mortals can't get inner peace. When the Buddha's eyes are half open, it looks more kind and peaceful, so mortals will feel more at ease and quiet when they talk to the Buddha. Second, the half-closed Buddha statue is to tell people that you don't have to be too serious

In fact, the half-closed Buddha statue and Guanyin statue are also a kind of Buddhism spread. There is a saying in Buddhist scriptures that if you really practice Buddhism, you can't see everything in the world. This also reflects that people who are diligent in cultivation should generally focus on cultivating their own hearts instead of blindly caring about external affairs. Therefore, saying that the Buddha statue and Guanyin statue are both half-open is actually explaining this truth.

That is to say, when you look at everything in the world, whether it is people or things, don't look too thoroughly, because if you see through everything, it will only make you more annoyed, and it is actually a pleasure of life to be confused. Therefore, the Buddha statues are half closed, that is, they don't want to see everything in the world. In Buddhism, the most important thing is the inner world, and all the disturbances outside have nothing to do with themselves. Third, show the compassion of Guanyin and the Buddha

When the Buddha statue and Guanyin are half closed, they will appear extraordinarily soft and have a feeling of hanging their eyes, which is usually only when they feel sad. Buddha and Guanyin, because they have seen all the good, evil, beauty and ugliness in the world, say that they will have compassion for some suffering mortals. At the same time, for those who do evil, there is also a feeling of watching coldly, so it can be said that Buddha and Guanyin see everything in their eyes.
