Wealth Orientations: The Laughing Buddha

Wealth Orientations: The Laughing Buddha:
 The Laughing Buddha Feng shui symbol is based on the story of a Buddhist monk who lived in the 10th century China. He was a bit too eccentric for a monk, but his heart was loving and open, and in time he came to be loved by many. He is considered a reincarnation of Gautama Buddha (the historical Buddha); and added the often missing energy of light heartedness, joy and laughter to everyday life. Also called the Happy, Hotei or Traveling Buddha,

The Laughing Buddha is often depicted with gold ingots, a Wu Lou (Chinese gourd), a sack of treasures or surrounded by children. And, of course, a big belly!

The symbol of Laughing Buddha is considered to bring auspicious energy, wealth and joyful blessings anywhere it is placed.

Laughing Buddha statue as a Feng shui cure for your home,
1.Decide on best materials and colours for your decor.

2.You can find Feng shui statues in a variety of materials, from resin to metal, rock crystal and even porcelain, and the Laughing Buddha statues and figurines are no exception.

3.Choose a Laughing Buddha statue that helps you attract and strengthen the Feng shui energy you need.
To attract more wealth energy- select a statue of Laughing Buddha with gold ingots and place it in the Money area of your home (Southeast).

For vibrant health- Choose a Laughing Buddha with a Wu Lou in his hand and place the statue in the East.

As Laughing Buddha is considered to be a patron of children, it can be good Feng shui to have a small statue in your children's room (if they like it); or in the study.

Treat your Laughing Buddha with respect, never place the statue on the floor.


Location of Placing Laughing Buddha:
One of the best Feng shui locations for a Laughing Buddha is close to the main door, so that you can see it as you come home.

It has to sit at some 30" approximate height & should be facing directly the main door.

The next best place to keep Laughing Buddha is on a side table,or a corner table which is diagonally opposite to front door and facing the door.

Do not display your Buddha in the bathroom,dinning room and in the bedroom.

This god of wealth is not worshipped or prayed but just displayed.

If you really love the Laughing Buddha energy and are looking to buy a statue for your home, go for a big one, at least 2-3 feet. This way, you would actually be able to rub the Buddha belly for luck! The big Buddha belly that can hold deep laughter, as well as stomach all your troubles and transmute them into happiness.
