All you need to do is learn about the wealth amulets and select those that touch your heart. These are the only two steps that need to be undertaken in order for your overall material wellbeing to start improving. In this article, we enumerate some of the most popular feng shui wealth talismans and discuss their unique properties.
Three Legged Frog: This is an extremely popular wealth talisman. According to legend, the greedy frog was captured and conquered by Liu Hai (Tsai Shen Yeh - God of Wealth), and turned into a kind creature that helps people. This amulet comes in a gold color. The toad has three legs and holds 1 or 3 coins in its mouth. It can also have a slit for you to place coins into. The frog is often portrayed sitting on a hill of coins. The toad is best placed to the left of the entrance door, with its back to the wall. This essential and powerful symbol can start helping you the same day it arrives at your home.
Greedy Dragon of Ambition: This mystical power symbol was adorned by simple Chinese people and the mighty emperors alike for thousands of years. The Chinese revered these creatures as commanders of water, who could bring an abundant harvest, and thus bring prosperity and wealth. They can also protect from rivals and competitors. The creature is often portrayed playing with a celestial pearl (can be referred to as earth). It needs to be placed in the eastern section of your home, or facing east. This feng shui wealth symbol can be also placed to the left of the entrance door, similar to the money frog.
Tsai Shen Yeh: These are gods of wealth. They come in a number of characters: some of them are dressed like military people (e.g., Guan Yu), others like civilians (e.g., Liu Hai). However, the most popular character is the barely dressed cheerful golden Hotei (Buddai) - the famous legendary monk. This monk traveled a lot in the countryside, and his mere presence brought wealth and prosperity to the villagers. This god has a large round belly, which you can rub asking to make your wishes come true. This amulet is typically placed in the southeast of your home - the Wealth and Prosperity zone.
Ru Yi: This magical scepter is a close equivalent to a magic wand. This talisman typically comes in gold, and needs to be placed in the Wealth and Prosperity sector. The scepter can come individually, or be held by the god of wealth, such as Hotei.
Wealth Vase: A wealth vase can be purchased or made. It's the most customizable feng shui wealth amulet, which makes it especially potent. The vase is usually made of ceramic (white with blue images). The vessel needs to be staffed with a number of specific ingredients, including semi-precious gems, a gold item, soil, money, and pictures that represent wealth for you (nice houses, vehicles, clothes, etc.). The vase is typically placed in the southeast of a bedroom.

"Fat Buddha" Really a 10th Century Chinese Monk
More commonly known as the Happy Buddha or Laughing Buddha, Hotei was a monk of the T'ang Dynasty, recognized for the sack of candy he carried and shared with small children. He is a figure of Chinese folklore, and one of the Seven Gods of Fortune representing abundance and good health. He is also thought to be a bodhisattva, one who has dedicated himself to the path of enlightenment like Buddha, or a Maitreya, a future Buddha-like figure who will appear on Earth, achieve enlightenment and teach the Dharma.
The true Buddha began his path to enlightenment after seeing a infirm old man begging and learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism. His journey of contemplation eventually brought him to a sacred fig tree where he paused in meditation. It was there that he attained Bodhi, a perfect state of illumination. From that moment forward, he was Buddha who took to the countryside and preached for 44 years what was to become one of the primary religions of the world until his death at age 80.
Laughing Buddha statues are frequent Asian decor accent found in business and restaurants because he is the deity of contentment and prosperity. This Buddhist icon is most often seen with a sack in tow, filled with candy for children and gifts of food for the less fortunate. Much like Catholicism's St. Nicholas, Hotai is the patron saint of children, the suffering and the downtrodden.
A laughing Buddha statue portrays a corpulent, bald man whose ample gut can be seen through his sagging robes. While Ho Tai could definitely benefit from a few stomach crunches, his ample belly is symbolic of good luck and wealth. Along with his jolly middle and pleasant smile the Ho Tai nearly always carries bent, wooden walking stick in one hand and his bag of goodies in the other. The Happy Buddha is most often portrayed as a statue in either a reclined, standing or sitting position. The reclined position most likely originates from the "sleeping Buddha position," one that reflects the Buddha's last moments on Earth before he was delivered to Nirvana.
Most often, the happy Buddha Statues are displayed in the home as a talisman of plenitude. Many Ho Tai statues portray the cheerful patron holding gold ingots in his hands while sitting atop a mountain of gold coins. It's also not unusual to see the Buddha sitting atop a Dragon throne. The Dragon is a icon of security and virility in Asian culture. Other symbolic elements often seen in sculptures and statues of the happy Buddha include a rosary necklace symbolic of prayer, a pauper's bowl representing the laughing Buddha’s lack of worldly possessions or an oogi. The oogi is a Chinese "wish giving" fan used in the past by Chinese aristocracy as an affectation to guarantee that their wishes would be granted.
In western culture, the happy Buddha is thought of as the fat Buddha. As a chubby, smiling man who often travels sharing candies and presents to children, Ho Tai most closely matches what Westerners think of as Jolly St. Nick. However, his offerings and blessings can be enjoyed all year. Many believe if you rub the belly of a happy Buddha you are sure to enjoy good fortune and financial success.
Happy Buddha is also considered a patron of restaurateurs and bartenders and is often seen in Chinese and Japanese restaurants. Overindulgence in food and drink are often credited to the influence of the laughing Buddha.
