Auspicious Symbols in Buddhism - "PEACE"
Auspicious Symbols in Buddhism (A Bug Comes insight) - Taken on my deck
Tibetan Buddhists make use of a particular set of EIGHT auspicious symbols, ashtamangala, in household and public art. Some common interpretations are given along with each symbol although different teachers may give different interpretations:
佛門八寶，又稱八吉祥，藏語稱「扎西達傑」( 藏文：བཀྲ་ཤིས་རྟགས་བརྒྱད，威利：bkra shis rtags brgyad，THL：Zhaxi Dag'gyä，是佛教中象徵吉祥的、圓滿、幸福八件法物
From left to right: 3 of 8 shown here (3個8吉祥符號顯示在這裡，從左到右)
*Dhvaja (寶傘，華蓋) - The symbol represents the Buddha's victory over the four māras, or hindrances in the path of enlightenment.
*Endless Knot (盤長，也叫吉祥結) - a symbol of the ultimate unity of everything.
*Treasure Vase (寶瓶) - symbolizes the Buddha's infinite quality of teaching the dharma: no matter how many teachings he shared, the treasure never lessened.
I got a chance to purchase this piece made of jade & sterling silver recently..~~這碗是由玉和純銀制作, 來自西藏
