The 8 auspicious symbols

• The vase symbolizes the richness of the Buddhist teachings (the Dharma), longevity, and prosperity.
• The lotus symbolizes transformation on the spiritual path. Just as a lotus emerges from the mud and transforms into a beautiful flower, so our human "mud" transforms into wonderful qualities of love, compassion, and wisdom.
• The victory banner symbolizes complete victory over the negative/destructive forces within us.
• The umbrella symbolizes the protection that the Dharma offers to all living beings, protecting them from negative forces, illnesses, obstacles, accidents, etc.
• The Dharma wheel symbolizes the Buddha's teachings and their spread.
• The fish symbolize that people who practice the Dharma need not fear drowning in the ocean of suffering, because they can follow the flow through proper vision and action.
• The endless knot symbolizes the interdependence of all phenomena, an aspect of the Buddha's wisdom.
• The conch shell symbolizes the sound of the Dharma, which dispels the suffering of living beings.
