History of origin The Thai Phra Sangkachai may have originated from early Theravada Buddhist traditions of the Mon culture in Burma, probably as a wealth-bestowing deity. He is sometimes confused with the Chinese Laughing Buddha, or Budai, who is an incarnation of the future Buddha Maitreya. However, Sangkachai is believed to have been an Arhat (one who attains Enlightenment) who was reverred for his ability to explain the dhamma teachings in a clear manner. He was the author of the first Pali Grammar, the Madhupinadikar Sutta. Popular stories tell of how he was extremely handsome and attracted unwanted advances of women as well as men. Angels also mistakenly worshipped him as the Buddha. In order to avoid such inappropriate attention, he allowed himself to become extremely overweight and unattractive. Belief/Faith Phra Sangkachai is the god of happiness, prosperity, and wealth with a chubby body and smiling face. Widely believed those who worship Phra Sangkachai will grant success in business with wealth and perfect health. Usually, Phra Sangkachai will be placed in the house to make life successful. ***************************************************** Shipping method ***Free Shipping*** ***Ship with Tracking Number*** *Item location : Nonthaburi , Thailand *Handling Time : 3 business day 1.
