The beloved Budai, one of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods, sits smiling in this Small Budai with Offering Garden Statue by La Campania. In his right hand, he holds a small offering bowl. This small statue is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, where a small offering of your choice, such as a candle, ash, or flower, may be placed in the bowl.

Hotei (Chinese: 布袋), also known as Budai, is often referred to as "the fat buddha" or "the laughing Buddha" and is commonly confused with the The Buddha- Gautama Buddha. Hotei was actually a Chinese Buddhist monk that lived in the 10th century CE who was known for his exceptionally jolly personality and nomadic lifestyle. Budai would travel from village to village, cheerfully greeting adoring children with his iconic cloth sack slung over his shoulder. Depictions of Hotei are a symbol of happiness, abundance, wealth, and contentment.

Your new Budai statue comes in Greystone finish.
