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.
