THE EIGHT SYMBOLS




The Precious Vase - Buddha's Neck
This is sometimes called the great treasure, a vessel bringing with it the riches of the world. It's a symbol bringing good luck energy for a long life, wealth and prosperity.





The Protection Parasol - The Buddha's Crown
This precious Parasol is like having an umbrella above your head to always protect you. Wearing this is a beneficial act. It keeps away harmful forces, illness and the like. The Parasol of Protection on your bracelet is demonstrating the wish that you can be liberated from suffering to achieve happiness.






The Golden Fish - The Buddha's Eyes
These symbolize wisdom and will enhance your already strong sense of compassion. Your quest will be to obtain happiness and spiritual liberation. You will feel free like a fish in an immense lake










The White Lotus - the Buddha's Tongue
The Lotus flower is amazingly resilient. Even though it survives in muddy places it remains pure and white. It represents the purity of mind, body and speech. It will encourage you to do wholesome deeds so that you will never be consumed with guilt. You will help those around you, which will bring you even more unexpected rewards.








The White-Conch Shell - Buddha's 3 necklines
The conch shell was traditionally blown as a warning in war times. The signal can be heard far and wide. This is to awaken you from a psychic slumber. It will teach you not to be swallowed by your emotions. Not to hate, or spend so much time regretting. It will bring you everything good and lasting. This is when you will be free and see this time of financial hardship as a passing phase that you will come out of stronger.


The Endless Knot - Buddha's 3 Hearts

This symbol has no beginning and no end. It symbolizes the boundless and permanent awareness of Buddha. This magnificent knot contains the wish for you to share the same awareness as Buddha. This way you can absolutely trust your instincts because they will be informed by so much awareness.





The Victory Banner - This is Buddha himself

This symbol is seen as the fulfillment of Buddha. It is the quest for supreme enlightenment. It is showing your willingness to the universe to overcome illness, ignorance, and all that is negative in this world. With enlightenment comes great happiness.






The Dharma Wheel - Buddha's Palms
The Dharma wheel has 8 spokes, each one representing part of the Eightfold path. .
