nowadays, many people worship statues of guanyin bodhisattva at home. some people see them completely as great achievers of realizing emptiness, and even say to others: "do you think this buddha statue is a buddha? do you want to worship the guanyin statue you offer is a bodhisattva? it's not at all! that's copper, this is iron, and it's wood. the buddha is in your heart. if there is no buddha in your heart, there will be no buddha." the words are very relaxed.
