Which way should Bhudda face?

Sunbird · 2009-04-11T18:18:58Z

Hi, I have quite a large stone statue of Bhudda in my garden , and I think it should be moved to a better spot as it is getting overgrown where he is at present. I've always been unsure of the direction in which to face it. I originally thought it should face west as it is now, but if I moved it to the only suitable place ,he will be facing east. Does it matter in which direction he should face? I might seem a bit daft but I always like to do things right out of respect. Kind regards G.J

I know that this sounds pedantic but "laughing buddhas" aren't actually statues of Lord Buddha, they are a Chinese Monk called Sankhajai.

Chinese Buddhism is often so removed from classical Buddhism and from western Buddhism that it is often regarded as a totally different religion.
