The celestial Buddha named Hotei or Pu-Tai is best known as the jolly Laughing Buddha. In China, he is known as the Loving or Friendly One.
The Lotus Flower and the Buddha are closely related and each symbolizes important aspects of the Buddhist faith and philosophy both independently and together. A Lotus Buddha statue can be a welcome addition to your meditation routine as a reminder of the Buddha's strength along his journey of enlightenment.
New age spirituality says that we should get in touch with our Christ nature. Is that like our Buddha nature? Is our Christ nature a form of authentic spiritual growth that reflects a deep desire to change the world by manifesting a true compassion and unconditional love for others? Or is it simply a feel good spirituality?
