Laughing does you good. Laughter can help you deal with many things including the stresses of our daily lives. A good laugh can stimulate your organs as you take in more oxygen, and leave you with a pleasantly relaxed feeling.

The Laughing Buddha is a wandering monk who symbolises happiness and smiles knowingly at the absurdity of human behaviour. According to legend, if you rub his pot belly, you will have prosperity and good luck.

Buy yourself a Laughing Buddha and laugh with him. The Laughing Buddha reminds us that life is a game. Play well, but remember that a great deal of human behaviour is just a game in the wider scheme of things.
