Product description
Eighteen ancient Bodhi seeds contain the essence of heaven and earth, and are adorned with twelve zodiac jade pendants, integrating the principles of the eighteen realms of Buddhism with the profound mysteries of the Chinese zodiac over a thousand years. The beads of Bodhi flow with the precious light of amber, and the zodiac jade carving implies the protection of one's destiny. One object on the wrist connects time and space, inheriting the wisdom of the Buddha's enlightenment and embodying the profound meaning of the cycle of rebirth in the earthly branches. The eighteen seeds break through the eighteen afflictions like a vajra cutting off delusions, and the twelve beasts guard the twelve hours like a celestial general guarding the pass. Those who wear this string will naturally generate thirty-six layers of protective barriers around their bodies.
Each Bodhi seed has been nourished by the incense of an ancient temple. Among the patterns, one can see micro-carvings of the Heart Sutra. When the fingertip moves, the six-character mantra shines as the bead turns. The twelve zodiac spiritual jades are carved from the raw jade along the snow line of Kunlun Mountain. The Rat carries the lamp of wisdom, the Ox carries the book of merit, and the Tiger treads the mountain of karmic obstacles... The twelve spiritual beasts each perform their own duties, which are in harmony with the eight characters of one's birth chart. When the zodiac jade pendant touches the Bodhi bead, it is like awakening the guardian deity of one's life. At the hour of Yin, the eyes of the tiger shine to protect the whole body, and at the hour of Chen, the scales of the dragon shine with color to guide the auspicious clouds, transforming the zodiac fortune into the Buddhist cycle of cause and effect.
This string possesses the wonderful effect of dual blessings: The eighteen Bodhi focuses on purifying the mind and nature, and breaking through the five poisons of "greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt". The twelve spiritual beasts secretly adjust the annual fortune and dispel the four misfortunes of "breaking through and harming". A longevity crane pendant can be given to parents as a gift, praying for "evergreen pines and cypresses reflecting the sun and moon". When giving a gift to a loved one, it is advisable to pair it with a pair of wings and a heart of one heart, promising "The Bodhi tree is united and grows and Withers together". In the year of one's zodiac sign, a talisman of the Tai Sui General is engraved, which becomes the "Demon Subduing and Protective Armor". At dawn and dusk, I twist the pearl three times. The zodiac jade pendant gently taps on my wrist, just like the morning bell awakening the green dragon and the evening drum alerting the white tiger away. Day and night, it is always protected.
A pearl conquers the tribulation, a beast keeps vigils the New Year, and a thought brings forth the lotus. May this string accompany you to see your true nature with the Bodhi mind, to follow the natural seasons with the power of the zodiac signs, to complete the three thousand virtues in the rotation of the eighteen seeds, and to experience the sixty years of good fortune under the protection of the twelve beasts. With the wisdom of prajna held in the palm and the fortune of the Chinese nation around the wrist, one realizes that the mundane world is the place for cultivation, and the Buddha's karmic connection will follow one throughout one's life.
