Soft coverThe smiling or laughing Buddha, known as Budai in China and as Hotei in Japan, was a vagabond monk who lived in the mid-tenth century and who is said to have attained enlightenment under a bridge on a stormy and rainy day after hearing thunder rumble. Also known as the "bag vagabond", Budai toured the villages and villages of China, remembering the virtues of laughter and good humor to everyone he met. In this work full of wisdom and good humor, Mario Satz extends the history of Budai approaching the most notorious episodes of an existence devoted to the well-being of all beings. A little gem of wisdom and literature.
