joy and happiness to your garden with this favorite Oriental statue. Following
the pirncipals of feng shui, it will surely be the focal point of the area.
Often
called the Happy Buddha, he is really Hotei, a monk of the T’ang
Dynasty. He was known for carrying a sack of candy which he handed out to
children in the street. Many Chinese Buddhist believe he was an incarnation of
the Buddha Maitreya.
Gautama Buddha was born in 563 b.c. in northeast India.
The Buddha was the son of the King of the Sakyas. Suddhodana, who ruled at
Kapilavastu, on the border of Nepal. His mother was Queen Maya. He was named
Siddhartha. He lived amidst the pleasures of palace life and at age 16 he was
married to Princess Yasodhara. They had a son named Rahula. After seeing a
decrepid old man, an invalid, and an ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering
and decided to embrace asceticism.
Soon
afterwards, at age 29, Siddhartha left the palace and his family and went to a
hermitage where he became the monk Gautama, or, as he is still called,
Sakyamuni (The ascetic of the Sakyas). One day, meditating under a sacred
figtree, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi). He had become a Buddha.
From there on he traveled and preached for 44 years what was to become one of
the main religions of the world. He died at Kusinagara at age 80.
