Giving a gift with meaning and inspiration? What a wonderful way to create a loving memory from the heart without necessarily having or needing the words.
One such example is the lucky Buddha (or laughing Buddha). You can’t help but smile or rub his belly when you see him. Also known as the Buddha of wealth and happiness, he is known to bring joy and good fortune in abundance.
You will often see different versions of your lucky Buddha. Most of the time he is seen holding ingots of gold, sacks of money and looking like he is on his travels. These symbols that he holds send different messages to the receiver.
Take for instance the double Buddhas―the two brothers side by side. They depict love and support for each other and doubling your luck while the tan Buddha holding the sack of money with the Ruyi on his shoulders sends you wishes of good fortune. The Ruyi is used as a sceptre for guidance and known as the wish granter.
Fancy something a little more deep and powerful in its symbolism? Anjian has the Buddha of four faces. Not as joyful as the others, but a symbol of four main phases in life that we will all experience: joy, serenity, sorrow and anger. It is a reminder that life and of course our feelings are not permanent and in order to appreciate the qualities that we wish to attain ie joy and serenity, we must also experience the feelings of sadness and anger. It is an ‘all in one’ statue that brings together what we desire and what we wish to escape from.
When our lives are made easier and we are lucky to experience pleasures and comforts, it then gives us opportunities to help others. Anjian sends you blessings in abundance of joy, happiness and peace to all.
