Just for the fat “Buddha” or Laughing Buddha is not
really a representation of the historic Buddha. Rather it is a figure
from China known as Hotei. The way I see it, the Hotei has about the
same relation to the Buddha as Santa Claus has to Jesus. So if you
are looking for something for a reasonably serious Buddhist
practitioner, you would be way ahead to stick with a Buddha in a
meditation posture rather than the fat Hotei. At least as a kind of
serious Buddhist practitioner, that would certainly be my preference.

Hotei is the Japanese name, for Budai, and he is not the Buddha. He
is, instead, based on an eccentric Chinese Zen monk who lived at the
time of the Liang Dynasty. His figure, almost always shown smiling or
laughing with arms out, is representative of contentment, happiness
and abundance. You could almost say he’s the Buddhist equivalent to
Bacchus. Though the Greek god wine and intoxication, Bacchus was also
known to represent contentment, happiness and abundance. This has
been a short FY for your amusement. And now, back to your regular
programming. :slight_smile:
