Yes I was given one but I bought a set of three and want to give them to three people in my life. I feel that the significance is happynes, and luck. If you rub a Buddha belly you get these traits. I want people to feel like I do when I rub Buddhas belly. I dont want to impose of thier spirtuality so I guess i was hoping for an answer that would justify a reason with a higher purpose.... or maybe I'll find out myself at a later date. Or maybe this thought process IS the higher purpose. Thanks for the responses guys/gals. You drew the answer right outta me.
