Who is laughing Buddha?
The laughing Buddha is an interpretation of the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the predicted Buddha to succeed Gautama Buddha in the future. He is also called Hotei or Pu-Tai. In China, he is known as the Loving or friendly one. The laughing Buddha has become a deity of contentment and abundance. According to legend, if one rubs his great belly, it brings forth wealth, good luck, and prosperity.
