Buddhist Art

Jewelry is part of our daily lives. When two people get married, they exchange wedding rings, a perfect circle symbolizing unity and continuity. But tibetan jewelry can be offered on other occasions as well. And what if you could offer someone a gift bearing some special meaning and be a beautiful piece of jewelry at the same time? David Weitzman’s website is a great source for beautiful jewelry endowed with special energies. The spiritual gift section of the website will unveil beautiful designs based on symbols from major religions around the world and mystic concepts, which promote unity, harmony and love. Here are some examples of jewelry and their meanings. Tibetan culture has always been fascinating. There are eight auspicious signs around which Tibetan Buddhism has evolved. One of them is the Lotus flower. At night the Lotus flower closes and sinks underwater so that at dawn it will rise and open again. This continuous cycle makes the Lotus flower a symbol of creation and rebirth and a symbol of the sun. It also symbolizes spiritual enfoldment, due to the way it grows. Its roots are in the earthly mud, its long stem struggles through the water so that it reaches the surface and opens into a beautiful flower that basks into the sunlight. The ring of courage is a spiritual gift that can be offered to boost one’s self confidence. It has a long Hebrew text engraved on it that is meant to make the wearer understand that fear is a major cause of one’s suffering. Fear is believed to come from ignorance and twists your judgment. It is summoned by the person himself, because he is letting deceiving thoughts grow into his mind. It is also the reason why the person who fears becomes blind to the abundance and beauty of life.
