Product Description

DRAGON

♥ Luck ♥ Strength ♥ Protection ♥ Success ♥

In China, the dragon and the phoenix are symbolized auspiciousness. The dragon is the fifth animal in the Chinese zodiac. They traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents good luck, strength, health, and also the male element Yang. In systematized mythology, the dragon is considered male and is paired with the phoenix (female); together the two creatures symbolize marital harmony. The dragon works as a mirror to the phoenix, symbolizing masculine energy, strength, and protection.

Red String

♥ Protection ♥ Luck ♥ Faith ♥ Strength ♥ Connection ♥

In lineages of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, tying a cord or string around the wrist is common during ceremonies. Traditionally, the Lama blesses the string and then ties a knot and imbues it with a mantra. Similar to other traditions, it's said that these red cords bring luck and offer protection.

In ancient Chinese legend, the Red Thread of Fate is - invisible and ties all those whose lives will intertwine together. It is governed by the Chinese God of marriage, Yue Lao, as it's primarily associated with the link between two people destined to be married.

Throughout history and across philosophies, the red string has been worn for protection, faith, good luck, strength, and connection.
Today many people use it as a reminder that they're not alone. It's also a symbol of being loved, supported and, feeling safe and secure. For others, it's a prompt to stay positive while facing any adversity.

At Buddhastones, we believe you make your own luck.
The red string can serve as an opportunity to redirect and realign your core beliefs. It can serve as a reminder of your goals, of who you are, and who you most desire to be. It can serve as a reminder of a connection between you and a loved one. It can make you feel like you're safe and protected. It can aid in helping you feel prosperous and lucky.

Fu Character

♥ Happiness ♥ Blessing ♥ Fortune ♥ Luck ♥

The Chinese character Fu (福) means happiness, blessing, good fortune, and good luck. People across China have the tradition to paste this character on their doors or windows during the Spring Festival to greet the Chinese Lunar New Year. They believe doing this will bring good fortune. It is written on diagonal square red paper and the character is usually pasted upside-down. Since the word for "arrive" in Chinese sounds the same as the word for "upside-down", pasting the character upside-down signifies that "good fortune has arrived". Pasting the character upside-down on a door or doorpost thus translates into a wish for prosperity to descend upon a dwelling. The Fu character can also be used in jewelry to represent the desire that one's good luck will be expansive.

Silver

♥ Calm ♥ Balance ♥ Blessing ♥ Protection ♥ Keep away evil spirits ♥

Silver has relatively stable chemical properties and is not easy to deteriorate. At the same time, silver also has certain effects on the human body. Silver is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Wearing silver jewelry can protect you from evil spirits. Silver can sterilize and reduce inflammation, detoxify and maintain health, and prolong life. Long-term use can accelerate metabolism and enhance resistance.
