Symbols on Buddhist jewelry and their meaning
The head, hands or body of Buddha
The image of Buddha is arguably the most recognizable Buddhist symbol. This makes it a popular choice when buddha jewelry is being made. When buying jewelry with this symbol though, it is recommended that you get jewelry with his full image and not just the head or hands.
The symbol of Buddha is a reminder to live as he lived his life and adopt traits like patience, kindness, and abhorrence of violence. The full body of Buddha represents Buddha and the call for the world to witness his enlightenment.
This symbol can be worn every day and comes in different forms of jewelry.
- Necklace and pendant: Wearing the Buddha statue as a pendant can protect your energy. The pendant Imparts energy which can eliminate unwanted or negative energy from you or your immediate environment.
- Earrings: Earrings are another popular way to wear Buddhist jewels. Earrings with this symbol can help you receive or attract enlightenment and spiritual growth.
- Rings: This jewelry can ward off negative energy and spirits when worn on the ring finger. It is also a good jewelry to have for those in search of spiritual enlightenment and trying to move past the spiritual blockage.
- Bracelet: Wearing a bracelet with the image of Buddha can repel evil energies and help the wearer have a positive outlook on life.
The Lotus
The lotus flower grows out of muddy areas and blossoms into a beautiful flower. This symbolizes the fact that despite any adversary we may face, we are growing just like the lotus. When worn as jewelry it is a reminder that beautiful things can come out of horrible situations
This flower is also a reminder that we should adopt traits like kindness, growth, and contentment.
Lastly, some jewelry and Buddhist depictions show Buddha sitting on a lotus. This is to help you remember that spiritual purity is possible even while living in the world. You can live among others and even try to help them without having bad habits being rubbed off on you.
The Bodhi tree
This is the tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. The jewelry with this symbol represents enlightenment and the benefits that accompany it. It is an ideal item for all followers of the Buddhist doctrine.
Wheel of Dharma
This is another popular Buddhist symbol. It is used to remind wearers of jewelry with this symbol to remember and adhere to Buddha’s teachings especially the Eight-fold path. It is a reminder of how Buddhists should speak and the right way they should live.
Importantly, the wheel reflects the repeated cycle of life humans endure until they receive enlightenment.
All the above-stated representations are things the Wheel of dharma jewelry can help you remember.
The Eternal Knot
This a symbol of the interconnectedness of life. It is a reminder that everything that happens in life is connected to another event. It also symbolizes the fact that every person is interconnected to another and one individual cannot live as an island. Lastly, wearing the eternal knot jewelry helps the wearer to remember the endless cycle of life. That there is no beginning and end.
Om Mani Padme Hung
Many pieces of jewelry have been inscribed with these Sanskrit writings. Usually available in a long rectangle pendant, a bracelet or ring, this jewelry is a symbol of compassion. It is a reminder that you should always feel compassion and kindness for others, If you can read Sanskrit, you can also recite the mantra or meditate with it.
Other
Mala: This refers to long prayer beads that are held during prayer. While they are Buddhist jewelry, it is important to know that they are also used by people of different religions. Buddhists use the beads to count while reciting their mantra.
Meditating with them can help to intensify your connection between your mind, body, and soul.
Buddhism, Jewelry, and Materialism
One of the many teachings of Buddha was the division of the enlightened man from possessions. This makes one wonder, ‘does Buddhist jewelry count as a material possession and vanity?’. The answer is no.
When you wear normal jewelry, it may be for the style, value, trend, etc. However, Buddhist jewelry is worn for what it represents and the symbol on them.
The key to maintaining the detachment from material possession while using it is to accept that the jewelry is just an item but the message it has and its spiritual value is the important part.
Who can wear it?
Anybody, Buddhist jewelry has become increasingly common among people who do not believe the Buddhist doctrine. However, this jewelry is of more benefit to people who believe in the teachings of Buddha and are trying to apply them in their lives.
As a whole, it reflects the temporary state of material possessions. With continued use, this jewelry will become less beautiful or may even be lost. This reminds the wearers of the cycle of life where material possessions will eventually lose value or be lost.
