The Laughing Buddha is regarded as one of the gods of wealth. It brings prosperity, success and financial gains to the house. The location of placing the Laughing Buddha is important. It has to be placed at some 30″ approximate height and should be facing the main door directly. 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 Laughing Buddha, is on a side table, or a corner table which is diagonally opposite to the 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.

Many forms of the Laughing Buddha are available, some in the standing position, some in the sitting position. All are fine, but the sitting position one, with a bag of money behind him, is better among all the forms.

Another very popular energizer for wealth and prosperity are the Lucky Charm cards. These Lucky Charm cards can be placed in a person’s wallet, purse or pocket. The Laughing Buddha Charm Cards symbolize happiness, wealth and good luck. Another type of Lucky Charm Card normally used is the Kuan yin Buddha Charm Card which is the symbol of safety and protection. It is quite a useful one for people engaged in hazardous professions like pilots, sailors, etc.
