Mi-Lo Fwo
aka 笑佛 Laughing Buddha / 胖佛 Fat Buddha / 快乐佛 Happy Buddha / Mi Lo Fu
Mi-Lo Fwo (Happy Fat Laughing Money Buddha) is the most common and most popular depiction of Buddha in China for centuries. His nickname was “Cloth Sack” — Budai in Chinese. Buddhists’ main goal in life is to ‘be happy’, and it’s for this reason that depictions of Buddha show him as being fat and laughing.
