The Smiling Buddha

at the International Buddhist Society in Richmond, just south of Vancouver -
a very peaceful and beautiful place to visit - and I will show you a few images ....

Budai (the smiling Buddha) is traditionally depicted as an obese, bald man wearing a robe and wearing or otherwise carrying prayer beads. He carries his few possessions in a cloth sack, being poor but content. He is often depicted entertaining or being followed by adoring children. His figure appears throughout Chinese culture as a representation of contentment. His image graces many temples, restaurants, amulets, and businesses.
