Another legend tells about him: Bouddai was said to have been a very handsome and attractive man, so much so that he was constantly annoyed by men and women who tried to seduce him. All their interventions disturbed and interrupted the calm necessary for his meditation. To put an end to this annoying problem, he would have chosen to voluntarily make himself ugly!
Many obtain his statue simply to enlighten their daily lives: the laughing Buddha is happy because he wishes to bring, health, wealth, happiness and joie de vivre to those who welcome him. His laughter and his positive and communicative qualities will then shine in the place where he is placed.
Others believe in his special powers of good luck : they open their house to him so that he attracts in them his beneficial power, by regularly rubbing his stomach for example ...
Whether you make either of these choices, you will find wood, resin or metal statues bearing his likeness. In the form of jewelry, the silver "Happy Buddha" pendants will adorn your neck with joy.
