Violence, dishonesty, no respect dominates our world today.

Ani and I, we like to contribute to make a small change and we need your support!!

Brings honesty, respect, love,  and happiness.

My First Buddha does something amazing to everybody, we have seen this so many times. Buddha statues represent peacefulness and dignity, but most important, the Buddha represents a universal principle of loving kindness and respect to be shown to all living beings. When gifted to a child it has true educational value.

We feel passionate - that, in some way, we contribute in making this world into a better place with our plush Buddha. 

The world’s first plush Buddha

My First Buddha is a beautiful unique handmade soft plush Buddha. Made in different sizes, it comes in two models and two color options: Tibet gold or Thai Lotus White. A fun and unique gift to give or receive. Inside a Tibetan bell that makes an enchanting sound when shaken. Made in anti-allergic fabrics and with all safety requirements, all Buddha’s arrive in a wonderful presentation designer gift box.

We have invested all our savings taking My First Buddha from prototype to production. But we need to reach out to our market and bring it to a higher level. We need your help to bring My First Buddha to America and all around the globe.

My First Buddha also supports Save the Children

Ani and I believe in a universal principle of loving kindness and respect to be shown to all living beings. That why we donate to Childcare organization Save the Children.

The world’s largest independent organization for children’s rights. Save the Children believes in the potential of each child, no matter where they were born, and strives to help children all over the world. Because Save the Children gives children the opportunity to realize their dreams for the future, My First Buddha is proud to support them. We donate 10% of our net profit to this truly great organization.


The Goal - $15,000

My First Buddha will land in America. Having reached our primary goal of $15,000 we will immediately begin to ship large quantities of My First Buddha’s to American.
