The meaning of the Buddha statue in Feng Shui

As you can see, Buddha symbolizes zenitude and peace. It is therefore very common to find a statue of him in places where the atmosphere should be relaxed, such as spas, waiting rooms, but also living rooms and various rooms in the house. Buddha statues can also be found in Zen gardens or in Asian style gardens.

To decorate your home with the Feng Shui precepts, the Buddha statue is a must. The meanings can vary depending on the position of the Buddha represented, and sometimes even on its design material.

Some statues represent a seated Buddha praying, or even lying down. It is not uncommon to see him smiling broadly or represented with bags of gold coins or in the lotus position. The Buddha brings serenity and well-being, but also protects the wealth of a home or a store.

The Buddha is a soothing spiritual being who brings peace and relaxation to your home. He inspires a lot of calm. Always depicted relaxed, this is a great figure to have in your entryway or living room.

Where to place a Feng Shui Buddha statue?

A laughing Buddha is placed near the cash register of a store or a restaurant. It is the Buddha of wealth. It can also be placed at home, in front of a safe or a piggy bank.

Buddha statues protect homes from the evil eye and malicious people. They are very useful and can be placed in the entrance of the house. You may have seen a Buddha in a house, placed right in front of the front door, near an incense holder. This is also a strategic place to place your statue to increase its benefits.

If you are creating an outdoor Zen space, like a Japanese garden for example or a small Zen space with bamboo, you can place a Buddha statue in the middle of your garden.
