• Even a semi-literate salesperson at a handicraft store seems to know of the
significance of possessing a statue of the laughing Buddha or the Happy Man.
It is being sold everywhere for years now. Chinese call him Hotei. He is
believed to have existed in China as a Buddhist monk thousands of years ago.
One of the major mistakes the westerners seem to make, is to confuse the
Laughing Buddha with Gautam Buddha. The Laughing Buddha, in fact, was
one of the Buddhist monks, Pu Tai, who is believed to have lived in China
during the Liang Dynasty 2,500 years ago.
• The Laughing Buddha has a large exposed potbelly that protrudes and you
can almost hear the belly laughter when you look at it. His fat stomach is a
symbol of happiness, luck and bounty. Interestingly, the name Hotei in
Japanese actually means ‘cloth bag’ or ‘glutton’. It is believed that the
rubbing of his belly brings good luck and wealth. Another thing associated
with the Laughing Buddha is a begging bowl which represents the Buddhist
philosophy of renouncing the worldly ties and leading a life of a wanderer.
• Why do more and more people across the world today seek solace in the
principles of Vastu and Feng Shui is anybody’s guess. In their quest for
contentment and happiness, many have found out that possessing an idol of
the Laughing Buddha is an easier way to attain success and fulfilment instead
of changing the spatial organisation of their house.
