With a fat belly symbolizing wealth - both spiritual and worldly, he is always smiling to show contentment and joy. He teaches, when we are content with what we have, wealth is never-ending and will always flow in our lives.

Bùdài, also known as Hotei in Japan, is named for his cloth bag he would always carry as he often wandered through towns performing miracles of wonder. Originally, a monk named,  契此 Qìcǐ / Ch'i-tz'u from Zhèjiāng Province, he was venerated in the Chan/Zen Buddhist tradition as an incarnation of Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future.

A symbol of generosity, kindness, and compassion, Laughing Buddha helps in letting go of worries and attachments.
