Another quote can be attributed to the Buddha, "I undertake the precept to not indulge in intoxicating drink which leads to heedlessness." Not to mention that this bottle is not Buddha, but Hotei, Budai, Pra Sangachai or Maitreya. Confusing this image for Buddha is as stupid as one confusing an image of St. Francis for that of Jesus Christ. For my western friends, the big bellied image you often see at your local Chinese restaurant is NOT Buddha. Pass it on.
