This is a great little book! It provides a bit of history and a general overview Buddhism and the Buddha. The book explores the different types of Buddhas and what they mean based on their different poses, artifacts, facial expressions, etc. The book tells you how to use your laughing Buddha to attract happiness and laughter into your own life. You don't have to be Buddhist to appreciate the laughing Buddha. The Buddha and book set make a great gift and or a little pick-me-up for someone needing some laughter in their life.

I purchased the Laughing Buddha box for a close friend of mine who was inteesting in Buddha and his teachings and his life.
I have studied Buddha and have texts on his teachings. He said he trul enjoyed the statue, box and altar, and small book on his teachings.
I would recommend this to anyone just learning about the Buddha or even someone who would truly appreciate a very vivid and beautiful statue of Buddha to have in one's home.

You can't look at this cute little laughing Buddha without smiling so it brings happiness.
The book tells his history, different kinds of Laughing Buddha statues and what they mean.
Ever wondered what all those signs, symbols mean and why Buddha is fat when you see the statue in Chinese resturants? Well, you'll know when you read the book.
Also, He reminds us to laugh at our problems, brings positive energy and You can get some Buddhas for lucks, prosperity and other things..So, Winch is the next Buddha statue you should buy or Where do you sit it to attract certain things well, it'll tell you.
If nothing else he just makes me think don't worry be happy.
