This table top statue of Buddha was given to me by my mother as a remembrance of a trip she took to Thailand twenty years ago. I have no idea what prompted this gift since I am not a Buddhist. I am sorry that the shot appears a bit fuzzy, but Buddha is actually laughing, something almost everyone I know would benefit from doing more of in these times...
Perhaps I should publish a Blog of laughable photographs, judging from this effort!

Hi e; laughing is something I need more of, definitely.
Dearest Tut-Tut,
Me too!
Hi, e! Laughing is one of the best things I know how to do.
Buddha is always a good gift, since he embraces all religions. He looks like a delicious glob of whipped cream!
Tut, Squirrel and Megan,
Thanks for stopping by! I actually never thought of Buddha in relation to whipped cream, Squirrel, but you're right!
Perhaps that is why Jacob (the cat pictured here) finds him irresistable to play with...
Well at least it isn't lifesize...
I love laughing buddha....thanks for playing TT!
Laughter strengthens the immune system, and burns calories too apparently- that's got to be a good thing!
The Buddha is a symbol of wealth and prosperity! :D Rub his belly for blessings!
Buddha should be fuzzy ;like the ubiquitous koan -- meaning is always a bit obscure.
these good vibrations
an excellent gift from Mom
whipped cream is nice, too.
So why is he laughing?
All I see is a Buddha-shaped glow; the "Enlightened One", perhaps. But I'm grinnin' just because you said "Laughing Buddha!"
Great choice!
