Crystal Feng Shui, Eight Auspicious Offerings, Precious Umbrella-Auspicious Peace
Collection: Eight Auspicious Offerings In the ancient scriptures of the “Ashtamangala,” or Gautama Buddha’s “Eight Offerings” on his path to enlightenment,” the jeweled parasol is the infinite representation of the expansiveness of the universe and its protectiveness. In LIULI’s representation, the umbrella is carved in a low relief of amber-gold, radiating a sense of safety and peace in the assurance of a protective eternity. In a manner of literary interpretation, the artifact symbolizes the canopy of the sky above and its ever-unfolding vastness. “Precious Umbrella” offers protectiveness and peace as one of the most auspicious among the greatest fortunes of this universe. 寶傘-安全 「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。 |
