How to choose and use your Laughing Buddha
While using a statue of the Laughing Buddha in your home or office, there are few rules to remember. Its placement and also the material it is made up of play an important role; rather, every detail matters if you want to benefit and create good Feng Shui.
First and foremost, ever asked yourself why is the Buddha actually laughing? Aren’t Buddhas supposed to be serene, meditative and peacefully looking within? Well, not all of them. The Laughing Buddha Feng Shui symbol is based on the story of a happy go lucky Buddhist monk who lived in the 10th century China. He, as per the legend, was a bit too eccentric for a monk, but his heart was loving and open, and over the period of time he came to be loved by many. He is believed to be a reincarnation of Gautama Buddha (the historical Buddha, serene and quiet) and added the missing energy of light-heartedness, joy, and laughter to everyday life.
Also known as the Happy, the Hotei or the Traveling Buddha, the Laughing Buddha is often seen with gold ingots, a Wu Lou (Chinese gourd), a sack of treasures or surrounded by children. And, of course, his big belly!
It is the most common Feng Shui cure for wealth and good luck. The symbol of Laughing Buddha is considered to bring auspicious energy, wealth, and joyful blessings anywhere it is placed. So you can see at least one Laughing buddha in almost all Chinese restaurants, homes and offices.
While deciding to use a Laughing Buddha statue as a Feng Shui cure for your home, first decide the best materials and colors for your decor. Laughing Buddha statues are available in a variety of materials, from resin to metal, rock crystal and even porcelain. You may choose the color according to your decor.

Also, choose a Laughing Buddha statue that helps you attract and enhance the Feng Shui energy you need. If you want to attract more wealth energy then look for a statue of Laughing Buddha with gold ingots and other Feng Shui wealth symbols and place it in the Money area of your home or office. If your focus is vibrant health, get a Laughing Buddha with a Wu Lou in his hand and place the statue in your Health area.
Always treat your Laughing Buddha with reverance and respect, never place the statue on the floor.
One of the best Feng Shui locations for a Laughing Buddha is close to the front door, so that you can see it as you come home. Never keep your Buddha in the bathroom or in the bedroom.

The Laughing Buddha is supposed to be a patron of children, it would be good to have a small statue in your children’s room or in their study.
For stronger Laughing Buddha energy, 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 belly of the Laughing Buddha can hold deep laughter, and also stomach all your troubles and transform them into happiness!
