An authentic handmade Tibetan Eight Buddhist Sacred Spinning Ring. In Buddhist traditions, the eight symbols are a white parasol, a conch shell, a treasure vase, a victory banner, a dharma wheel, a pair of golden fish, an endless knot, and a lotus flower.
The origin of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism can be traced back to ancient times, to ancient India where Buddhism originated. Although some of these eight symbols may be associated with the ancient royal rituals in India on the coronations of kings, some of these eight symbols were slowly imbibed into Buddhism. These symbols then were adapted for local Tibetan Buddhism. Some of these symbols, however, originated from Tibet, and have their own local implications. At present, however, the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism represent the offerings that were made to Buddha by the gods when he achieved enlightenment.
