About & symbolism
In many feng shui and folk traditions, the laughing Buddha is a beloved symbol of joy, good humor, and good fortune, while flowing water represents the movement of positive energy. Together they're meant as a lighthearted, calming presence rather than a promised outcome. A cheerful accent for the home or office.
How to place it
Many people place a laughing Buddha fountain near an entryway or on a desk -- traditionally the wealth corner -- as a welcoming, cheerful focal point for the space. Browse more in our statues & fountains collection.
Care
Use indoors only, on a stable, level surface, and keep the power cord and plug dry at all times. Never let the pump run dry -- check the water level regularly -- and distilled or filtered water helps reduce mineral buildup in the pump over time.
