Some Gurus propagate that by becoming laughing Buddha one get Self-realization***

If you laugh or if you cry the wisdom will not dawn.   The one which laughs or cries is the one which is born lives and dies whereas the Soul, the innermost self is formless, timeless and spaceless existence.

Some Gurus propagates that by becoming laughing Buddha one get Self-realization, because if one keep on laughing he forgets his physical identity but is mere a theory based on the false self within the false experience.

Suppose if one keeps laughing within the dream, the dream become unreal when wisdom dawns. Similarly, if one keeps laughing with the waking experience, the waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns.  The wisdom dawns when the Soul, wakes up from its sleep of ignorance.  Thus, the ignorance will not vanish by keep laughing but such act keep the Soul, the innermost Self in the prison of the dualistic illusion.

Perfect understanding and assimilation of ‘what is what’ is needed to cross the leasehold of the dualistic illusion.
