Crystal Feng Shui, Eight Auspicious Offerings, Auspicious Diagram-Immeasurable Auspiciousness
Collection: Eight Auspicious Offerings The diagram depicted in this artwork is the classic endless knot. Across a multitude of religions and cultures, the knot represents both eternity and the ultimate unity of everything in the universe. In the “Ashtamangala”—or the story of Gautama Buddha’s “eight offerings” on his path to enlightenment—the knot also symbolizes the mutual dependence and interconnectedness of wisdom and compassion, and of religion and secular. The ultimate teaching in this endless knot artwork—as well as the story and artifact from which it is derived—is one of unity, of interdependence, and of the wholeness of the universe. The artwork here, carved in a golden amber low-relief, illuminates this heartfelt message of understanding and dharma, capturing in it the importance of embrace and compassion for all. 盤長-堅持 「吉祥」是佛學裡,之於庇佑天下的冀望,也是中國人,之於世事安穩的渴求。「吉祥」一詞,是知道生命有太多的缺憾,興衰,圓缺,悲歡離合之後,人,對生命的最深祈願。佛法八吉祥,以巧妙的圖騰,對人世所有對境,逐一作了祈祝。是正念的觀照,也是人生逆境的鼓舞。 " |
