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 Holding a ‘Wu Lou’
A ‘Wu Lou’ or bottle gourd in the Buddha’s hand represents good health and longevity. According to belief Buddha holding a Wu Lou keeps illness at bay.
The Standing Buddha represents ‘The Happy Buddha’ and is said to bring wealth, happiness, and abundance into your home.
