He lived at least thirty years afterwards; he continued laughing for thirty years. Even in sleep his disciples would hear him giggling. His whole message to the world was laughter; he would go from one town to another just laughing. He would stand in one marketplace, then in another, just laughing, and people would gather. His laughter had something of the beyond &#8212; a Buddha&#8217;s laughter. He is known in Japan as &#8216;the laughing Buddha&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>His laughter was so contagious that whosoever heard it would start laughing. Soon the whole marketplace would be laughing; crowds would gather and laugh and they would ask him, &#8220;Just give us a few instructions.&#8221; He would say, &#8220;Nothing more, this is enough. If you can laugh, if you can laugh totally, it is meditation.&#8221; Laughter was his device. It is said many people became enlightened through Hotei&#8217;s laughter. That was his only meditation: to laugh and help people laugh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mp-row-fluid motopress-row mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-clmn mp-span12 mpce-dsbl-margin-left mpce-dsbl-margin-right\">\n<div class=\"motopress-image-obj motopress-text-align-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/guruquote.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/osho.3.1500.jpg?fit=1500%2C1000&ssl=1\" title=\"osho\" alt=\"We have been distracted into unnatural motivations: money, prestige, power.
