Re: Want to learn about Buddha?
The statue you have (in your photo) is Hotei or Budai, a "prosperity god" based on a fat Chinese monk, referred to in common parlance and in marketing as the "laughing buddha" but not a representation of Gautama Buddha. Perhaps you should read the teachings noted on WickedPedophilia to find out something about what you profess to believe. Gluttony is not acceptable in Buddhism.
Were you to follow your buddy Buddha's teachings at all, you would not rub objects for "good luck". Your good pal Buddha taught that such things were superstitious nonsense . . . one of the things he and Jesus agreed upon.
You're as bad a Buddhist as the average Ned who comes in here spouting about how God loves everybody and Jesus said that everyone goes to Heaven. Have you ever read any Buddhist literature? Or the Bible? Or do you just believe whatever you pick up in astrology columns?

They bring good luck! Why would you ever smash them? That would bring you bad luck for sure!
