The director used the living Bodhisattva to express his irony of patriarchal preference.
The bodhisattva sculpture in the film is a woman, but the living bodhisattva in the film is a man. This is the director's satire of the traditional patriarchal habit by borrowing the role of the living bodhisattva.
