think positive laughing budda

Please look at the picture of Laughing Buddha.

I had read s story about him.

It is about Hotei, or Pu Tai. He was a Chinese monk lived about 1000 years back. He used to carry a very big smile on his face, It is said that daily he moved on the streets of San Francisco, carrying a big bag. He used to approach shop keepers and bag for sweets . Then he was distributing sweets among children.

If any person asked him the secret of his happiness, he immediately leave the place, walk away, without speaking a word.

Hotei was not trying to think positive. Rather, he was not looking at the negative side of life. Children are fresh, energetic , free from day to day tension, worry. While mixing with them, it had given much impact on Hotei. That had made him to be free from dark side of life.

It all depends on the environment one lives with.

I will suggest you to put his picture on your living room. Then, you need not try to be positive. Let the environment takes care of you. Let the life reflects on you.
