Hearing, Seeing and Silence refers to the principle of the three wise monkeys (Mizaru, Kikazaru, Iwazaru), who embody the proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" and originally conveyed a loving message of turning away from evil, but in Western culture also took on the meaning of wearing blinders to injustice and keeping a "mouth shut"
keeping.
The smiling Buddha, also known as Budai or Poe Tai Ho Shang, is a symbol of happiness, prosperity, abundance, and wealth. The statue, with its distinctive bulging belly and cheerful smile, represents the philosophy of inner happiness through tolerance, acceptance, patience and generosity. Rubbing his belly is said to bring luck, and the various attributes he may carry also symbolise specific wishes such as wealth, long life, or fertility.
