LAUGHING BUDDHA [OLD MAN]

Laughing Buddha scriptures are available, in different sizes, in abundance in market. These scriptures are originated from china.

Buddha stands for old man in Hindi; not Gautam Buddha, the person, who’s preaching’s started the religion Buddhism. But this scripture is part of Buddhist philosophy only.

We can find the scripture “Laughing Buddha” in columns of entrance gate of Buddhist stoops.

On top of the entrance gate column this Laughing Buddha is placed with three other Buddhas, back to back.

In total four Buddhas.

1.     Laughing Buddha

2.    Angry Buddha

3.    Crying Buddha

4.    Silent Buddha

The top horizontal member of the gate, is supported on back of these Buddhas on the columns on both the sides.

It depicts people live (bear) life four ways

1.     Laughing: handle the problems of life      Laughing

2.    Angry    : handle the problems of life      Angrily

3.  Crying   : handle the problems of life      Crying

4.    Silent   : handle the problems of life       Silently

Of course the best way to handle the problems of life is laughing & this is the preaching of Lord Buddha.

This particular preaching of Lord Buddha is picked by the Chinese & is depicted by the Laughing Buddha
