The Laughing Buddha has become a common and popular name for Budai. He was supposedly a Buddhist Zen monk who lived in China over a thousand years ago. He was different from all other monks and considered a jolly fellow. He often laughed whole heartedly and reminded everyone to enjoy life and stay happy. He was very much loved. Budai always had a great big smile on his face. That is why he is best known by his nickname “Laughing Buddha”. One legend tells a story illustrating the claim that Budai wanted people to stay positive and joyful. When the beloved monk died many cried and a huge crowd gathered around for a last farewell with tears running down their cheeks. The fire was lit at the cremation ceremony. Then to the surprise of most mourners present there was a huge blast of fireworks. Before he died Budai had secretly asked that firecrackers were hidden under his robe. That did that trick. All who were present at the cremation found themselves smiling. Even after his death he reminded all present to celebrate life.
