That we are much, much more than our thinking mind can comprehend. We are loved and loving. Infinite beings, points light. Each is an individualized expression of Oneness! We are not our jobs, our lives, our relationship, our cars, we are the Divine Spark of Oneness.

Happiness is the goal of Buddhism. The laughing statue of Buddha reminds all Buddhists to live in harmony with everything and that happiness can only achieve when you are free of evil and material desires. But remember, Buddha not always laugh or smile. Al thought Buddha and many of his students have been enlightened, they also feel sad - sad for our human race / that is why they are everywhere to help people who needs them!

Buddhism basically eschews that theory of "Divine Oneness", for further understanding of what we really believe you have to actually study Buddhism. It's said that that one particular statue of the "laughing Buddha" is a cultural depiction of the Buddha to come... and is about happiness and prosperity.
