Laughing Buddhas Maltreya Buddha, the Buddha yet to come. He is a symbol of happiness, wealth and an innocent contented joy. Buddha's belly is said to signify bountiful wealth & prosperity. Stroke his tummy in the morning to bring his spirit of joy into your life and invoke his wealth luck. The Laughing Buddha must always be welcomed into his new home. ********************************* Taken on my work desk with just my desk lamp on! Came out way to orange (bloody orange bulbs we seem to have them everywhere in this house ffs not good for a photographer) so just used photoshop to tone it down a little so you can make out the orange and green on his robe! He's not very big. Not sure how big he is but he can sit on the top of my computer monitor with some blue tack under him!
