Ladies and gentlemen, how do we perceive a beautiful woman? According to the ancients, a truly virtuous woman will include: One part gentleness, two parts elegance, three parts harmony, and four parts intelligence.

Gentleness comes from love, kindness, and fulfilling the wishes of others. Elegance comes from tolerance, confidence, and the harmony between inner and outer beauty. Harmony and discretion come from the inherent psychological nature of women, who always carry a hidden modesty. And intelligence comes from continuous self-cultivation and learning. Today, let's explore the characteristics of a virtuous woman.

A woman who knows how to refuse without being tempted or seduced.

Why is it important to know how to refuse? Women are naturally gentle and compliant, so how should compliance be correctly understood? Why is refusal necessary? A poet once wrote: The lotus flower grows from the mud but remains unstained. In emptiness, both inside and out, with straight branches and tangled leaves, the fragrance becomes purer the farther it spreads. Dignity and integrity can only be admired from afar and not played with. In a world of abundance, one is easily swayed by temptations.

As a result, one's mind is always troubled, willpower weakens, and many successful individuals see their careers crumble due to succumbing to temptations. Those who remain steadfast and do not fall prey to temptations often have a stable and bright future. There are times in life when we must know how to refuse, reject ill-gotten gains, material wealth that does not belong to us, and never engage in unethical or immoral actions or say hurtful words.

Indeed, refusal is not easy, especially when one admires and values the other person. If one can use reason to judge right from wrong, to agree or refuse, and to reject things contrary to morality, they will be honored by society. Furthermore, being in harmony with the will of heaven will bring luck and abundant blessings.

A filial woman with a grateful heart.

Ancient wisdom says, "A hundred virtues come from filial piety, and a hundred acts of kindness stem from filial obedience." Parents are likened to bodhisattvas in a filial woman's family, and with such filial piety, both parents and children will receive the protection of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, leading to a smooth and happy life due to their filial and compassionate nature. A woman with a grateful heart, full of responsibility, will always pursue noble ideals in life.

They turn gratitude into loving and practical actions in life, earning high regard and respect from others. Moreover, they bring positive energy and wisdom to spread to those around them, leading to a fortunate and supported life.

A simple woman, content with a harmonious and peaceful lifestyle.

In a chaotic world of impermanence, a simple woman finds contentment easily, touching happiness without excessive desires, avoiding entanglements and greed. They live a peaceful and self-sufficient life, understanding that knowing when is enough brings joy. A woman who knows her limits will not demand too much or seek what is not rightfully hers, knowing that what does not belong to her cannot be obtained through competition or pursuit.

Traditional women are disciplined and lead a good lifestyle, valuing time in harmony with nature, maintaining a calm and contented mind with few desires. Thanks to this virtue, they can simplify complexity and maintain a simple life. Their stable and healthy habits include going to bed and waking up early, avoiding late nights, living in a clean environment, and not indulging excessively in food and drink. This benefits their health and helps their minds become more virtuous.

A woman who dresses neatly and cleanly will have a warm and fulfilling home, while a woman who dresses sloppily will have a messy home and a troubled mind. Women who are calculating and narrow-minded will have negative feng shui. Generous and understanding women will naturally have good fortune and healthy descendants.

A woman not easily swayed by emotions.

The ancients said, "Sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny." If one is always optimistic and calm, their life will be filled with light. Conversely, if one is always pessimistic and despondent, their life will be gloomy. Being emotionally unstable makes it difficult to have a clear and free mind, leading to dependence on external circumstances and others, making it hard to remain calm and think rationally to find the true meaning of life. Women are gentle and discreet; a woman who can hide her emotions will have a strong inner self, profound caution, and will not be easily swayed by emotions, requiring self-cultivation to achieve this.

A woman who practices Buddhist teachings, transforming her destiny.

Life is short, and if one can use that brief time to cultivate their mind and enhance their wisdom, their future will be bright. Learning from life, books, and the essence of knowledge will help them understand the meaning of life, gradually perfecting their inner self, ascending spiritually, and understanding the path, as well as the miraculous events that occur. A woman with a kind heart and sincere devotion to Buddhism, every good deed she does benefits others and accumulates blessings for herself.

A woman who practices Buddhism, after sincerely listening to Buddhist teachings, will change her destiny. She will understand that everything in life is governed by karma, and the law of cause and effect is immutable. From there, she will learn how to resolve and change. A woman who practices Buddhism will receive deep blessings, and if you meet such a woman, cherish her. A woman's nature is as gentle and soft as water.

The surface of the water represents the feng shui of the family in marital life. The gentler and more delicate the water, the easier the husband will succeed in his work, leading to a peaceful and fulfilling married life. Water that is clean, soft, clear, and pure can nurture and refresh the souls of those around. A woman who is too strong turns out to be undesirable because the feng shui of the water will weaken, contrary to the principles of feng shui in the Book of Changes.

And dear ones, at any time, cultivating and preserving traditional virtues and ethics is extremely important, especially for women. If they want a happy and fortunate life, they cannot overlook the cultivation of their character. Whether a woman's life is good or bad is partly determined by destiny.

But mostly, it depends on cultivation and virtue in this life, which is crucially based on cultivating one's character. Dear ones, So what makes a woman truly beautiful? The criteria for evaluation are varied, and every woman aspires to self-improvement, which may be challenging, but there is light at the end of the road. If every day is spent nurturing good virtues and gradually eliminating bad qualities, then that woman is becoming more beautiful each day.
