The Laughing Buddha would make an perfect good luck gift for those suffering through misfortunes and bad luck. In Feng Shui the Laughing Buddha also known by Buddhists as Maitreya is one of the most supreme symbols of joy and well being. When this jolly character is placed within any home he will do wonders for all the residents inside; in addition to revitalizing any dead or negative chi and relieving tension he will also summon fortune and riches for all family members. The Laughing Buddha is now also displayed in the office and prominent places in business venues such as the front counter lobby or cashier. He is also a highly revered figure placed at the altar in many temples. The Laughing Buddha himself is a vision of happiness; his face is always in a happy laughing expression (hence his name) and his position is jolly. He is a manifestation of wealth luck due to all the auspicious symbols that he holds some of these being a Ru Yi Wu Lou and various gold ingots and coins. He also usually keeps beside him pots and bags filled with treasures.
