The Buddha of Wealth and Health Luck
Add some Buddha joy and fresh, positive energy to your life!
About the Buddha The buddha is a revered and significant deity in the Chinese culture. It can be said that almost all homes in China has at least one image of this most auspicious and smile-inducing item!
Buddhas are very popular because of the happiness, contentment and sense of fulfilment it bestows to households. Buddhas are here to stay because they remind us that happiness is the key to life, and a pot belly (symbolizing material wealth) keeps the smiles coming too.
The Buddha of Wealth and Auspicious Luck is a lovely, most colorful item to perk up a room with. Made of resin, this comparatively big statue is painted and sealed with a high-shine, protective layer for longlife loveliness.
The buddha in this statue is grinning kindly, with eyes closed in glee. He is lifting a huge ingot (it’s even bigger than his substantial belly!) for you to know that all his thoughts and prayers are towards you reaping wonderful rewards in the career arena. On his left shoulder, a wu lou (gourd or water carrier) made of wood is strung on Chinese silk cording and slung on the Buddha’s arm. The wu lou, as you may know, is a potent symbol of Health luck and longevity. A Buddha is almost always depicted with a wu lou or two for this express purpose - to inject some much-needed Health luck into the Buddha’s venerable visage.
The red robes swathed about this venerable item is red in color, decidedly a Yang touch to this item as well as representing good wishes to you.
A lovely feng shui item for the home. We recommend you to place this auspicious piece on an elevated height.
