Buddhas, almost always in sitting position and always, always with an indulgent smile, is one of China's most beloved symbols of happiness and prosperity. This is a very holy image and is full of benevolence just for us all! The Buddha is also full of wealth luck and prosperity too, and he wishes nothing less than a happy, comfortable life for us all. The Buddha's relaxed stance is to remind us to not work or strive perfection overmuch; sometimes we just need to kick back and share a laugh to lighten up our spirits and remember what's important in life.
