Description
Don’t worry, be happy! That’s the cheery mantra of the lovable Laughing Buddha (Matreiya or Future Buddha). And that’s exactly what this intricately detailed and delightful composition of the Laughing Buddha Holding Ruyi Sitting on Money Toad will help you achieve. Just the sight of his perpetually jolly demeanor and infectious smile will soothe the mind, lighten the heart, bringing a sense of joy and contentment.
He is depicted carrying a Ruyi or scepter (meaning “as you wish” in Chinese) symbolizing power and authority which in turn leads to the achievement of goals and subsequent abundance. He holds a string of prayer beads on his other hand for additional blessings. A mala bead necklace with a Fuk Lock Coin helps to magnify and seal in good luck, wealth, and happiness.
All these abundances and good fortune brought by the Laughing Buddha is amplified with him riding a Money Frog on a base of treasures – gold coins, jewels, and ingots. The Money Frog, also known as the three-legged toads or “Chan Chu” in Chinese is probably the most auspicious symbol of money-making. The mythical Money Frog is one of the five Chinese holy creatures that protect us against misfortune and brings to our household increased wealth or monetary gain. Often portrayed sitting on a bed of wealth bearing a coin in its mouth, it is a wonderful symbol for wealth and career luck and for the patriarch of the family. The Money Frog is used for attracting wealth and abundance and can often be seen near cash registers, receptions, managers’ desks, and offices in Oriental countries.
