Placement of laughing buddha

[unknown]

Hi Cecil

We have a laughing buddha which currently is placedfacing the main entrance. It is placed about 2 to 3 ft away from the television (i.e. both on the same wall side). Is this ideal as I read from some of the websites that buddha should not be placed near any electrical appliances?

These are some considerations:

1. The laughing Buddha shares a similar theme as a pair of chubby well-endowed smiling lions found on the gate posts of some landed property homes.

2. Instead of a fierce looking chi-lin or qi-lin "guarding a home"

3. What this means is than especially for the owners of a home; coming home and greeted by a laughing Buddha is considered as having a good feeling.

4. Other than that, the laughing Buddha is actually a commercial product or even considered as a "decorative" piece. Unlike a serious figurine like a Guan Yin which has to be placed onto an altar.

5. As such frankly, in my opinion; there are no rules or regulations with such a decorative item i.e. laughing Buddha. Thus generally, placing the figurine next to or beside such things as a wifi lan module or even close to a set-up box etc.. is not that a great deal. If one really has no space; then this is the least of the concern or no issue.
