The eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhists make use of a particular set of eight auspicious symbols in household and public art. Some common interpretations are given along with each symbol although different teachers may give different interpretations:
- The right-turning white conch shell, representing the beautiful sound of the spread of the dharma teaching
- The endless knot, representing the inter-twining of wisdom and compassion
- The golden fish, representing the state of fearless suspension in a harmless ocean of suffering
- The victory banner, representing the victory of one's body, speech, and mind over negative obstacles. It also represents the victory of Buddhist doctrine over all harmful and pernicious forces.
- The lotus flower, representing purity of body, speech, and mind, floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire
- The parasol, representing the wholesome protection of beings from harm
- The treasure vase, representing long life and wealth
- The dharma wheel, representing the Sakyamuni Buddha and the dharma teaching
