A Reflection On the Laughing Buddha statue
For those who worry about their own body weight or have guilt about their healthy appetite, you better stop doing that. Notice the outstanding belly of the smiling/laughing old Buddha. Is he worried? Not a bit. Indeed it\'s a blessing to be able to eat and enjoy tasty foods! It\'s not a sin to have a few extra pounds, as the wise Buddha merrily demonstrated. Imagine the contrary:those who, suffering from stomach ulcers or for one reason or another, such as injury in the tongue or esophagus, could hardly ingest or even taste foods. It will be helpless even Julia Child or Martin Yan is cooking.
So, let\'s take a note from the happy old wise Hotai , and be grateful, celebrate, and enjoy our very good palates! Bon appetit!
