While the phrase "Happy Buddha" conjures up ideas of the laughing, rotund figure known as Budai, our interpretation depicts Shakyamuni Buddha in a moment of complete pleasure. Shakyamuni, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the Buddha who discovered the road to enlightenment and spent his life teaching others how to follow in his footsteps. This one-of-a-kind portrayal emphasizes his bright joy, reminding us that enlightenment is about more than simply profound realization; it is also about deep happiness and inner calm.
