What does laughing Buddha mean?
The laughing Buddha is a statue of a short, pot-bellied man who has a contented smile on the face. These statues are believed to be symbols of happiness, plenitude, and good luck. For this reason, the laughing Buddha figurines are quite popular as part of home decor. These statues always show the laughing Buddha carrying a cloth bag filled with food and other riches. Laughing Buddha statues come in a variety of forms, each of which symbolises something, ranging from luck, prosperity, and wealth to happiness, love of family, and other values.
Laughing Buddha: History
The person depicted in the laughing Buddha statues and images is a Zen monk from China named Budai, who lived during the later part of Liang dynasty around 907 to 923 AD. With a loving and kind character, he always had a jolly smile on, earning him the name of laughing Buddha. Some Buddhist traditions considered him to be the future Buddha or Bodhisattva Maitreya.
Laughing Buddha: Meaning and significance
The statue of the laughing Buddha reminds us to be grateful, overcome obstacles and most importantly, be happy in life. In the Feng Shui tradition, the reason for buying and placing statues in the home, is to correct a certain imbalance in ones life. Although it is a symbol from Feng Shui, Vastu Shastra practitioners also encouraged the placement of laughing Buddhas at home. The laughing Buddha bears a similarity to Kubera, (the god of wealth). So, Indians associate it with prosperity.
Opting for a laughing Buddha statue for home in Vastu and placing it in the northeast direction is said to be auspicious.
