Budai lucky charm pendant silver

This lucky charm pendant is crafted from solid sterling silver and features a sparkling lavender quartz gemstone. It's designed to accompany you everywhere and its solid weight feels good in your hand. A penniless monk who is always smiling, Budai originally symbolized the virtue of self-sufficiency. His bulging sack full of the alms he has received seems to confirm that those who are satisfied by little possess the greatest riches. In Japan, Budai is known as Hotei and became popular with the spread of Zen Buddhism. Budai/Hotei represents an aspect of the Buddha. He is also one of "seven lucky gods" of Japanese tradition. This beautiful pendant is wonderful to wear during meditation or your yoga practice.
