The Laughing Buddha is an epithet of the Maitreya Buddha of Chan Buddhism, prevalent in China. His name is Budai, which translates to ‘sack of cloth’. It is a reference to the sack on the Laughing Buddha’s back, without which - just like His good cheer - His iconography is incomplete!


The Laughing Buddha or Budai sculpture that you see on this page is a piece of skilfully carved jade. It is the finest of the semi-precious stones and occupies pride of place in the tradition of Buddhist iconographical sculpture. The colloidal green colour is the identifying feature of jade.


Limbs gathered underneath a portly torso. A round head thrown back ever so gently; infectious mirth writ large all over the face. The step-plinth, painted a deep, solid black, offers a striking contrast to the unusual green colour of jade.

Embrace Joy and Prosperity with Jade

Invite an aura of happiness, abundance, and good fortune into your home or workspace with this exquisite Laughing Buddha statue, meticulously carved from genuine jade stone. This radiant piece captures the essence of mirth and contentment, embodying the spirit of a beloved figure in East Asian traditions. The smooth, cool touch of the jade, coupled with its beautiful, translucent green hue, makes this statue a truly captivating addition to any collection or as a focal point for your decor. The Laughing Buddha, or Budai, is a revered figure, often mistaken for the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. In reality, Budai is a folk deity whose origins are rooted in Chinese folklore, believed to have lived in the 10th century during the Liang Dynasty. Legends tell of his immense size, his bulging bag filled with endless treasures or sweets, and his insatiable laughter, which was said to have the power to dispel worries and bring good luck. He is particularly associated with prosperity, happiness, and children, often depicted surrounded by them. His presence is a symbol of a life lived with joy, generosity, and freedom from worldly concerns.

A Symbol of Auspiciousness and Serenity

This statue is crafted from authentic jade, a gemstone deeply revered for its spiritual and cultural significance across many Asian cultures, particularly in China. Jade is believed to possess properties that promote harmony, balance, and longevity. It is often associated with purity, wisdom, and protection. The soothing green color of jade is often linked to nature, growth, and vitality. Holding or being in the presence of jade is thought to bring a sense of calm and peace, much like the tranquil demeanor of the Buddha himself. The detailed craftsmanship showcases the natural beauty of the jade, from the Buddha’s iconic broad smile and round belly to the texture of his flowing robes and the intricate details of the objects he holds.

Placement for Positive Energy

To maximize the auspicious energies of this statue, consider placing it in prominent areas of your home or office. The reception area or entryway is ideal for welcoming good fortune and a positive first impression. In a business setting, it can be placed on a desk or in a common area to foster a sense of goodwill and prosperity. For personal spaces, a living room or meditation area can benefit from its calming and joyful presence. It is believed that rubbing the Buddha's belly will bring good luck and wealth, a tradition embraced by many who seek his blessings. This 7-inch statue is the perfect size to make a statement without overwhelming your space, making it a cherished centerpiece for years to come.
