Precious Umbrella - SMALL EMBOSSED CARD

The Precious Umbrella is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism. It symbolizes the umbrella of the Buddhist community and teaches us that to make progress on the Buddhist path to enlightenment we should first come under the great umbrella of Buddhism by going for refuge to the Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

The eight auspicious symbols, together symbolize the spiritual path that leads to freedom from suffering and the permanent inner peace of enlightenment. The symbol on the front of each card is embossed, with the reverse of the card carrying an explanation of the meaning of the symbol and its relevance to our spiritual progress.Each card is 102x102mm (4x4 inches) so the full set fits neatly on a personal meditation shrine.
