The Laughing Buddha is a symbol of happiness as he enhances positive aspirations such as wealth, health, career and descendent luck. He is also almost always shown smiling or laughing, hence his nickname in Chinese, the “Laughing Buddha” (笑佛).

Appearing throughout Chinese culture as a representation of both contentment and abundance, the Laughing Buddha brings good luck, contentment and abundance in one’s life.

Imperial Harvest-grade Crystal: Laughing Buddha

The Laughing Buddha is a figurehead of auspicious luck and abundance, where a plenitude of wealth, happiness and satisfaction befalls on its destined owner. It also has the benefit of revitalising the intellect and the reduction of tension within the environment.

Having an Imperial Harvest-grade Laughing Buddha crystal placed in the workplace or residence can activate the auspicious water star within the environment, ushering an abundance of wealth and prosperity while eradicating inauspicious energies.

Benefits

In Imperial Feng Shui, Ling Zhi is the connotation to a long and successful life with your loved ones.

4. Treasure Bag 

Reference number: 5279

Gem: Unheated Clear Quartz

Colour: Colourless

Clarity: Internally Flawless

Inspiration

The figurative definition of the Laughing Buddha’s Treasure Bag derives from the Laughing Buddha. His name literally means “cloth sack”, and refers to the bag that he is conventionally depicted as carrying as he wanders. According to legend, the Laughing Buddha had an open and big heart, and in time he came to be loved by many as he added the often missing energy of lightheartedness, joy and laughter to everyday life.

Benefits

The Laughing Buddha is almost always depicted with his treasure bag that is filled with rare jewels, gold ingots and elixirs, serving a prominent emblem. As Laughing Buddha’s Treasure Bag is one of the most fundamental symbols of perennial auspicious luck and prosperity, it brings the notion of amassing good fortunes and achieving financial contentment in life.

In other words, the Laughing Buddha’s Treasure Bag is the ultimate representation of abundance, prosperity, and contentment, blessing the destined owner with an abundance of wealth and prosperity.

Reference number: 5280

Gem: Unheated Citrine

Colour: Fancy Yellow

Clarity: Internally Flawless

5. Fortune Bat

Reference number: 5277

Gem: Unheated Citrine

Colour: Fancy Yellow

Clarity: Internally Flawless

Inspiration

In ancient China, the Bat was a symbol highly coveted by emperors and high-ranking government officials as having the emblem of a Bat sewn into their robes was a sign of high status and power. Part of the reason is that the bat is written as 蝙蝠 in Chinese (pronounced as Bian Fu) and 蝠 being  a synonym of the word 福 (pronounced as Fu) which means good fortune and happiness.

As the bat hangs upside down when resting, it plays a huge part in the Chinese custom of displaying the word 福 upside down. This is Fu Dao (福倒 or 蝠倒) which sounds the same as Fu Dao (福到) which means the arrival of happiness and blessings.

Benefits

The Chinese believe that bats are symbols of good luck, wealth, success and prosperity and also warding off negative energies. Science has also proven that Bats can navigate confidently through the dark to discover the resources they need to survive and build and prosper in great colonies.

In the context of Imperial Feng Shui, the presence of the Bat together with the Laughing Buddha ushers massive abundance and opens a channel to accumulate great wealth quickly.
