Laughing Buddha to Bring
Wealth in Feng Shui
 By Jenny

Laughing Buddha is also
known as Buddha of Happiness or Matreiya in Buddhism. Legend
has it that nothing would make this Buddha happier to see
people’s problem, worries and sadness transform into
happiness. It is said that his inner smile is so strong that
it radiates throughout his entire face. He brings happiness
wherever he goes. The Laughing Buddha is a well known symbol
of wealth, happiness, innocent and contended joy; just
looking at his jolly face will cheer you up. It is believed
by rubbing his belly, which is said to contain much wealth,
it will bring good luck and prosperity to all in the home
and the bigger his round tummy, the more auspicious the
image. This wonderfully jolly deity is one of the most
beloved of Buddha images he can be seen in almost every
Chinese households and restaurants throughout the world. The
Laughing Buddha is also known as the Buddha of Wealth,
usually depicted carrying wealth symbols such as pots of
gold, large ingots and a sack believed to contain treasures.
He sometimes carry a "wu lou" (gourd), a symbol of good
health and longevity.
Here is how you can use Laughing Buddhas to Feng Shui your
way to a better life:
1. A good place to put the Laughing Buddha is in the living
room, preferably facing the front door to harness good
fortune while staving off bad luck, to bring in harmony and
take away quarrellings, to absorb negative Chi and emanate
auspicious energies.
2. Display the Laughing
Buddha on the dashboard of your car. He will pick up your
problems, stuff them into his sack and transform them into
happiness. That will take the load off your mind so that you
can focus on driving, and reach your destination safe and
sound.
3. The Laughing Buddha may also be placed on the study desk
to take away pressure and stress, as well as to assist the
student towards fulfilling academic goals.
4. Place the Laughing Buddha in your office table or
reception’s area of your shop to bring wealth luck and
harmony as well as to prevent backstabbing.
5. The Laughing Buddha is an excellent antidote for Three
Killings which brings sickness, financial loss and
accidents.
6. In Flying Star Feng Shui, the Laughing Buddha made from
metal (brass, bronze etc) can be used to ward-off the evil
influences of the malignant #5 yellow star and #2 black
star. The #2 black star is also known as the ‘Sickness
Star’ which brings illnesses and ailments to occupants
while the #5 yellow star is the ‘Disaster Star’ that
instigates fights, accidents and death. Placing the Laughing
Buddha in the affected sectors will dilute these adverse
energies.
