About Laughing
Buddha
Budai pronounced Hotei in
Japanese is a Chinese folkloric deity. His name means "Cloth
Sack,"and comes from the bag that he is conventionally depicted as
carrying. He is usually identified with (or as an incarnation of) Maitreya
Buddha, so much so that the Budai image is one of the main forms in which
Maitreya Buddha is depicted in East Asia. He is almost always shown smiling or
laughing, hence his nickname in Chinese, the Laughing Buddha.
The History
According to Chinese
history, Budai was an eccentric Chán monk
who lived in China during the Later Liang Dynasty (907–923 CE). He was a
native of Fenghua, and his Buddhist name was Qieci. He was considered a man of
good and loving character.
The term buddha means
"one who is awake", connoting one who has awakened into
enlightenment. Over the history of Buddhism, there have been several notable
figures who would come to be remembered as, and referred to as, buddhas. Later
followers of the Chan school would come to teach that all beings possess Buddha
nature within them, and are already enlightened, but have yet to realize it.
This teaching would continue into Zen.
Amongst those new to
Buddhism, or otherwise unfamiliar with its history, Budai is often conflated
with (or simply replaces) the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, in spite
of the distinct visual differences in how each has been depicted. In India,
Nepal, and throughout southeast Asia, Gautama (who lived during the 6th c. BCE)
is commonly depicted as being tall and slender in appearance. In contrast, in
China and those areas to which Chinese cultural influence spread, the depiction
of Budai (who lived during the 10th c. CE) is consistently short and rotund.
Both depictions are the idealized results of the religious, cultural and
folkloric traditions which evolved in the centuries after their respective
deaths.
