Series of 6 figures of the famous Laughing Buddha. Traditionally, every laughing Buddha promotes a certain desire: Buddha of health, Buddha of wealth, Buddha of wisdom, Buddha of happiness, Buddha of success, Buddha of love. The Laughing Buddha, also called Buddha Maitreya, in Chinese called Milefo or Milefo or Miroku in Japanese, is a Buddha that will appear in the future (he is also referred to as the Buddha of the Future by the way) who attains enlightenment and becomes the next Buddha, the previous Siddhartha being Gautama-Shakyamuni. The Buddha Maitreya was known in China since the 3rd century and found a historical identity during the Liang Dynasty. At that time there was a wandering Chan monk named Qici, who carried all his belongings with him in a linen bag. He was distinguished by his physique and an unpredictable but benevolent behavior.
