The Legend behind Laughing Buddha
According to legend Laughing Buddha is based on a Chinese monk who lived over 1000 years ago. He roamed from one village to the other, carrying a cloth sack that had sweets and toys that he distributed amongst children. His jolly smile and protruding belly also gave him the name ‘Happy Buddha’.
Laughing Buddha can be seen carrying different things. Let’s understand these symbols and their importance.
Laughing Buddha Holding an Ingot
An ‘ ingot’ is basically an oval-shaped bowl that the Buddha holds in his hands. This signifies wealth and abundance. Place him in the money area of your home to attract wealth energy.
Laughing Buddha with a Sack

According to the belief, he will collect all your sadness and misfortune, put it in his sack and leave you with abundance and positivity. The sack also represents wealth and good fortune.
