Silver Obsidian Budai Cord Necklace

For someone who likes the laughing monk's story. A dark carved Budai pendant on a cord with two red beads.

Carry a story of contentment.

In Buddhist folk art, Budai’s broad smile and rounded belly are associated with contentment and generosity. This dark carving keeps that familiar laughing figure visible, with two red beads on its cord.

The story

A 13th-century ink portrait in the Kyushu National Museum depicts Budai, the laughing monk associated with Maitreya. The museum attributes the painting to Muqi.

Choose one generous gesture.

Before wearing the necklace, think of one small kindness you can offer that day. Use the pictured cord if it fits comfortably, then store the pendant separately when you take it off.
