Placing a Buddha statue at home is believed to bring peace and prosperity.
More than just placing a Laughing Buddha statue, it is important to consider the direction in which it is placed. Vastu Shastra provides guidance on how to place a Buddha statue to attract positive energy and promote peace in the home.
Some people buy and place a laughing Buddha statue at home, thinking it represents Kubera, the Hindu god of wealth. However, this is incorrect. In Chinese Feng Shui, the laughing Buddha, also known as Budai or Hotei, is a symbol of happiness, prosperity, and abundance. While the laughing Buddha is associated with attracting wealth and good fortune, it is not related to Kubera. Many people use this statue to enhance their home’s decor and to invite positive energy and prosperity. Some spiritualists believe that placing a laughing Buddha statue in the home can indeed attract wealth and happiness.
Which direction to place it?
To attract luck and potential financial gains, place the laughing Buddha statue in the southeast direction of your home. The east direction is considered the treasure zone, so positioning the statue there can enhance family harmony and reduce conflicts. The laughing Buddha is believed to dispel negative thoughts and foster positivity.
The laughing Buddha statue can be placed in any room of your home, including the hall, bedroom, or dining room.
