Silver Sheen Obsidian Sitting Laughing Buddha
This is a beautifully hand carved Obsidian Buddha ready to take its pride of place in your home.
The Laughing Buddha is a model for the jolly Buddhist monk, Hotei, from around the late tenth century AD. Unlike some Buddha statues, the Laughing Buddha has various poses and meanings, depending on the sector and facing direction you place him. The overall meaning of the Laughing Buddha is one of abundance and good luck.
The laughing standing Buddha depicts in his later years as happy and with a large belly from an abundant lifetime. He'll either be in a sitting position or standing with his hands over his head supporting a real or imaginary Ru-Yi pot (vessel or bowl of plenty).
- The sitting Laughing Buddha represents the balance and maintaining balance in all aspects of life.
This statue is affectionately dubbed Happy. It's tradition to rub his belly to ensure even greater luck is bestowed upon you. Place this statue in your personal wealth corner or southeast sector of your home. It's great for an office on the north wall facing all who enter.
