According to the traditional concept in Buddhism, there are great differences between men and women in personality and way of thinking. Men pay attention to material interests and power, while women pay attention to family and emotion. If there is only one son in the family, then the family will become more patriarchal and more prone to conflicts. Therefore, Buddhism encourages women to have two daughters, and the daughters can support each other and understand each other, so that they can spend their lives more peacefully.
In addition, girls are more likely to express their feelings and thoughts. In other words, daughters have better communication skills, which can help brothers and families communicate better, solve difficulties and reduce contradictions and disputes within the family.
Finally, if a woman doesn't have a son, she won't devote herself to her family and housework. Clear water means no fish. Without a backbone at home, contradictions may be more prominent, and even fall apart in serious cases. Daughters have a better understanding of the family, can better maintain family harmony and inherit the beautiful traditions of the family.
Buddhists believe that the geomantic reasons for giving birth to daughters have always been:
1, yin flourishes while yang declines, resulting in more girls at home.
Generally speaking, whether in Feng Shui theory or Buddhism and Taoism theory, men are represented by masculine gender, while women are represented by feminine gender. Therefore, if the geomantic omen at home is "Yin flourishes while Yang declines" (that is, there are more women than men at home), people will naturally have daughters if they live in this environment for a long time.
2, gossip is exchange, and the orientation of the home is southeast or due west, which is easy to have girls.
In the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes, the divination position of girls is usually "right", which can be divided into "innate right" and "acquired right". The orientation of "innate pair" is in the southeast, and the orientation of "acquired pair" is in the west. According to Buddhism's geomantic thought, if daughters are often born at home, it means that the geomantic position at home is mostly due west or southeast.
