The laughing Buddha is regarded as one of the gods of wealth. It brings prosperity, success and financial gains in the house. The location of placing the laughing Buddha is important. It has to sit at some 30″ approximate height and should be facing directly the main door. The energy that enters the house from the main door is greeted by the laughing Buddha and the energy is activated, and turns highly prosperous.

If this location is not possible, the next best place to keep the Buddha, is on a side table, or a corner table which is diagonally opposite to front door and facing the door. It is not advisable to keep the laughing Buddha in the bedroom or in the dining room. This god of wealth is not worshipped or prayed to but just displayed, as its presence is purely symbolic and auspicious.
