ANTIQUE THAI GILT BRONZE LAUGHING BUDDHA RATTANAKOSIN Phra Sangkachai

Description

A Thai gilt-lacquered bronze figure of Phra Sangkachai Rattanakosin period, 19th century Seated in dhyanasana his hands flat supporting his large belly, his face in a meditative expression, with pendulous earlobes and hair arranged in small spikes.
Based on an eccentric Chinese Ch'an monk from the 9th century, the laughing Buddha has become an inseparable and significant part of Buddhism. He was a native of Fenghua in China, and his Buddhist name was Qieci. He was always taken as a man of loving and cheerful character. In Buddhism, the term Buddha means the one who is enlightened or awake. The Buddhists believe there have been several figures who would come to be remembered as Buddhas. In Asian folklore, the Laughing Buddha is known for his ever smiling, content and loving nature. One popular belief claims that rubbing the belly of the Laughing Buddha brings prosperity and good luck.
