According to legend , after six years of meditation under the Bodhi tree (the leaves of the sacred fig tree), Prince Siddharta was on the verge of enlightenment. At that moment, Mara, the demon of illusions, arrived, trying to dissuade Siddharta from taking the last steps to enlightenment. Siddharta meditated all night to overcome the fear and temptation sent by Mara. Mary sent his daughters to Siddhart to divert his attention from the path to enlightenment. However, with a single hand gesture, Siddharta transformed Mara's daughters into old women. Subsequently, Siddharta attained enlightenment and became a fully awakened Buddha.

Awakened, enlightened, is a being in Buddhism who has attained perfect realization, so-called enlightenment. Such beings are freed from the so-called three poisons of the mind, ie ignorance, anger and greed, and from suffering. The essence of being for them are the characteristic features of being, which means dissatisfaction, instability and insignificance.

"Gesture of a witness" (bhumisparsha). The gesture is called "touching the ground". The Buddha touching the Earth is the most common figure in Thai temples. This position is known as the "earth of the witness" mudra, also the "calling of the earth as a witness," and it is the definition of the moment of enlightenment for the Buddha. The Buddha sits cross-legged, with his left hand on his lap and his right hand touching the ground. The hand lies on the right knee, palm down, the left hand rests in the lap, palm up. This gesture symbolizes victory.

Buddha for happiness and prosperity. Ho Tai, as it is called in Chinese, is often confused with historical Buddha. Ho Tai is not a Buddha, but a revered Chinese monk. Ho Tai was famous for his Buddhist sermons and a bag full of presents he brought to children to reward them for learning about the Dharma. Behind this strange figure of Buddhism is a real historical figure. This is a Chinese Buddhist monk Chci Chi, Japanese Keishi. This Bodhisattva is known by the nickname Putaj (Pu-taj), which he obtained from a canvas bag with which he traveled throughout the country. So in China it is known as Pu-tai or Budai, in Japan Hotei or Hotai and in Vietnam as Bo Dai.

Ho Tai is often depicted in various forms, either with his hands over his head facing the sky, or he often holds a bag or has it over his shoulder. But no matter what he is portrayed with, he always has a happy, laughing face.
