The Laughing Buddha, or Budai (that's his Chinese name), is depicted here with his traveler's attributes!

The Legend of the Laughing Buddha's Travels
Budai was a Chinese Buddhist monk who is believed to have lived around the 10th century AD. But its existence is not well documented and is shrouded in myths. Finally, it can be said that he is considered more as a folkloric and symbolic figure of Chinese culture, than as an actual historical figure.
Many Chinese folk tales tell of Budai and especially his life as a traveller. Indeed, according to legend, Budai would travel the world aimlessly, carrying a backpack filled with symbolic treasures such as sweets, fruits, and precious objects. He visited villages and towns, offering his gifts and enlightening with his wisdom the people he met on his way.
These journeys are now associated with the quest for happiness, prosperity and spirituality. Budai is regarded in China as a role model that teaches the importance of generosity, compassion and simplicity of life. The stories around Budai's travels inspire people to seek happiness in the little things in life, to share with others, and to cultivate a joyful attitude detached from material concerns.
As a symbol of joy and benevolence, Budai embodies the spirit of altruism and generosity, inviting everyone to embrace simplicity and spread happiness wherever they go.
