Where to Place A Laughing Buddha At Home As Per Feng Shui?
In ancient China, the Laughing Buddha was often depicted as being happy and fat with an enigmatic smile on his face. He is usually seen carrying a bag of gold or money (symbolizing wealth), and sometimes he takes a wish-fulfilling jewel (symbolizing wishes coming true). The Laughing Buddha’s round belly signifies abundance and brings good fortune through laughter and joy. His jolly demeanour makes him an ideal addition to any space in need of happiness, positivity, or new beginnings.
Brass Buddha idol is the god of happiness, wealth, good luck and prosperity. However, he is not all about materialism. He is also concerned with people’s spiritual well-being. He can grant wishes to those who are pure at heart and punish those who are not so through all kinds of misadventures.
Importance of placing laughing buddha statue in your home
Laughing Buddhas are usually placed on an altar anywhere in the house. Still, very auspicious locations include entrances, main doors or even beside the bed if you have just moved into a new house or apartment as it signifies beginnings for you there. It is believed that placing a laughing Buddha in your home or office will bring new opportunities into your life. However, if your living room or dining room is facing south and you want to place a shining Laughing Buddha there, it will bring the energy of abundance and prosperity into your life.
Metal or Clay laughing Buddha.
The placement of laughing Buddha idol also depends on what kind of laughing Buddha you have — metal or clay. If you have a metal one, it needs to be placed in an East direction as this corresponds with Metal energy associated with the year. However, if you have a clay one, it needs to be placed in a West order as this reaches with Wood energy associated with the month. This practice makes sure that the Laughing Buddha’s luck flows throughout your home for 12 months instead of just for six months (if he was only placed in an eastern part of your home).
Ideal direction for placing laughing Buddha
In addition, you need to pay attention to the direction from which your laughing Buddha is facing. In Feng Shui practice, each order corresponds with a certain element, influencing our luck differently. Here are some of the tips for possible Laughing Buddha placements:
· If your laughing Buddha brass idol is located at the entrance leading into your main door, he should face inside of your house towards the middle or living room. This placement brings happiness into a home, and it also helps keep all negative energies outside where they belong.
· If your laughing Buddha is on the left side of your home’s front entrance (this means that it faces outwards), he should face South to increase Wealth and luck.
· If you have a metal or even a wood laughing Buddha, he should face East (this is the best option) as it is the direction of Wealth. However, if you have a clay Buddha, it can be placed in the West as this helps to increase career luck and overall life happiness.
If your laughing Buddha statue faces South or North, do not worry — it does not matter too much. It will still bring good luck and prosperity into your home no matter which way he faces! The main thing here is that we want him facing inward — towards the middle of the house — instead of facing outwards where negative energies might enter our lives.
