Hotei - Den lykkelige Buddha 6 cm
En Zen-buddhistisk legende forteller, at Hotei (Den leende Buddha) igjennom hele sitt liv vandret fra landsby til landsby.
På formiddagen ville han tilbringe sammen med byens barn. Han delte ut godteri til dem fra sin sekk.
Om ettermiddagen ville han gå rundt til byens handlende og tigge godbiter til barnene i neste by.
Da han var blltt en gammel mann og lå for døden, stilte man ham spørsmålet om han ikke hadde angret, at han hadde tilbragt sitt liv på den måten, istedet for å samle en gruppe disipler omkring seg i et tempel som var tradisjonen den gang.
Men over de neste dager, kom barna - som i mellomtiden selv var blitt voksne - tilreisende for å ta avskjed med deres mester.
De var i mellomtiden selv blitt opplyste på grunn av Hoteis impuls i deres barndom.
I Kina er han kjent under navnet Budai og det sies at det bringer lykke ved å røre hans mage en gang om dagen.
Man risikerer i hvertfall, å bli glad uten noen annen grunn.

Hotei - The Happy Buddha 6 cm
A Zen Buddhist legend tells that Hotei (The Laughing Buddha) wandered from village to village throughout his life.
In the morning he wanted to spend with the city's child. He distributed candy to them from his sack.
In the afternoon, he would go around to the town merchants and beg treats for the children in the next town.
When he was quite an old man and was about to die, he was asked the question whether he had not regretted that he had spent his life in that way, instead of gathering a group of disciples around him in a temple, which was the tradition at that time.
But over the next few days, the children - who in the meantime had become adults themselves - came to say goodbye to their master.
They had meanwhile become enlightened themselves due to Hotei's impulse in their childhood.
In China he is known as Budai and it is said that touching his stomach once a day brings good luck.
In any case, you run the risk of being happy for no other reason.
