A good Laughing Buddha image would have a face that is very smiley to signify fulfillment and joy.

Laughing Buddha is also considered as the representation of an eccentric Chinese monk who lived many years ago. He was considered to be a man of good nature and was always seen carrying a cloth bag with many items like rice, sweets for the children and food for the poor.

The Laughing Buddha of today represents the monk who goes around and blesses people with happiness, good luck and family luck.
