Lucky Buddha

It all started back in 2010 when the creators of the Lucky Buddha were on a boat trip and a storm brewed and the river they were sailing down started to become flooded. Without realising it, what happened on that trip changed their lives forever. The weather changed, a storm brewed and the river they were sailing down began flooding. They started plunging down the river, rocking from side to side. Lightning crackled and the wind howled. The force of the water was too much for their little boat. It lurched forward and in a rush of swirling water it landed on the river bank.

They all sat in silence for ages. Cowered under the bamboo roofing, they waited until the storm had passed. Slowly, they started to relax a little and nervous laughter was exchanged. Their captain disappeared and a few minutes later everyone heard a cry of joy. He emerged from the galley with some beers which had miraculously survived the storm. He pulled out a little Buddha figurine from his pocket.
