Top-Grade Rainbow Tourmaline Goldfish Six-Syllable Mantra Wisdom 108 Bracelet Prayer Beads 4.5mm Single Piece Gift

**◈ A Word from the Designer** Since ancient times, goldfish have been admired for their three beauties: elegant form, lively movement, and vibrant colors. The word "goldfish" (金魚, jīnyú) is a homophone for "gold and jade" (金玉, jīnyù). In ancient decorative culture, "gold" symbolized girls and "jade" (a homophone for "fish") symbolized boys, leading to the auspicious meaning of "gold and jade filling the hall" (金玉滿堂, jīnyù mǎntáng), signifying abundant wealth and a flourishing family. The goldfish's vibrant and diverse colors were also referred to by ancients as "golden-scaled celestial beings" and "peonies of the water." This 108-bead bracelet is meticulously crafted from top-grade Afghan tourmaline, adorned with cloisonné enamel featuring the Six-Syllable Mantra and exquisitely carved tourmaline goldfish. It is elegant and magnificent, bringing a sense of "like a fish in water," imbued with auspicious meaning. The overall piece is clear and flawless, with even coloration and dazzling fire. It feels cool and smooth to the touch, radiating a powerful yet comfortable energy. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its owner.** **A New Concept for 108-Bead Bracelets** The traditional view is that 108-bead bracelets are exclusively for Buddhist practitioners; this perspective is quite outdated! While 108-bead bracelets do originate from Buddhist scriptures and their length allows them to be wrapped around the wrist several times or worn as a necklace, their materials, designs, and decorative uses have evolved with the times. They are now more fashionable, layered, and versatile. Designers must adapt to user preferences to create unique, customized pieces. Furthermore, **108 has never been exclusive to Buddhists. Even non-Buddhists can appreciate the auspicious meaning of 108 and its potential for layered styling.** We often share with our clients that a 108-bead bracelet is an external object. Whether we are Buddhist or not, chanting sutras or praying is primarily an inner practice. We should **not be bound or hindered by material possessions**, nor should we be fixated on the material, count, method of handling, or which wrist to wear the bracelet on. When holding prayer beads, one should seek convenience and freedom. As the "Diamond Sutra" states: "All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew drops and lightning. Thus, they should be contemplated." Bracelets and prayer beads are also phenomena, so one should not be overly concerned with them when using them. **Comfort should always be the priority.** **The Origin of 108 Prayer Beads** 108 prayer beads represent 108 types of afflictions. Within the six senses—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind—each experiences pleasure, pain, and indifference. Within the six senses, there are also good, bad, and neutral states, totaling 18. Combined with the three times—past, present, and future—this amounts to 108. The 108 types of afflictions signify that sentient beings have 108 kinds of troubles, which can give rise to various negative karma. Therefore, these must be eradicated. By eliminating the 108 afflictions, one can achieve a state of tranquility for body and mind. Wearing prayer beads on the hand serves as a constant reminder to cultivate the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, maintaining a calm and unhurried mindset in any environment. In Tibetan, prayer beads are called "changwa," meaning to remember, think of, or recall. It also signifies continuity. It represents the constant remembrance of the guru, yidam, dakini, and dharma protectors; it also signifies that the guru, yidam, dakini, and dharma protectors constantly remember me, bestowing siddhis and wisdom. **The Six-Syllable Mantra** The Six-Syllable Mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum) originates from Sanskrit and is composed of six Tibetan syllables: Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ. It is the most common mantra in Buddhism. This mantra contains the boundless blessings and compassion of all Buddhas. It is the audible manifestation of their compassion and wisdom, with profound and infinite meaning, embodying the great power, wisdom, and compassion of the universe. Reciting it regularly brings inconceivable merit and benefits. Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ: Each syllable represents a different meaning: Oṃ—Removes arrogance; purifies ego-clinging. Represents the Buddha family's heart, symbolizing the white wisdom light of equanimity, eliminating ego-clinging and arrogance. It also represents the Buddha's heart, symbolizing the Dharma, Sambhoga, and Nirmana bodies, the wisdom body, speech, and mind of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Ma—Removes jealousy; purifies envy. Represents the green wisdom light, purifying jealousy in the Asura realm, and eliminating the suffering of conflict among non-humans. Ni—Removes greed; purifies ignorance. Represents the yellow self-arisen wisdom light, removing the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death in the human realm, and purifying ignorance and greed in the human realm. Pad—Removes foolishness; purifies delusion. Represents the blue wisdom light of the Dharmadhatu, eliminating the suffering of labor and toil for animals, and purifying foolishness. Me—Removes stinginess; purifies miserliness. Represents the red wisdom light of wondrous observation, eliminating the suffering of hunger and thirst for hungry ghosts, and purifying miserliness in the realm of hungry ghosts. Hūṃ—Removes anger; purifies hatred. Represents the Vajra family's heart, symbolizing the black-blue great mirror wisdom light, eliminating the suffering of cold and hot hells, and purifying hatred. Regularly reciting the Six-Syllable Mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, can eliminate the six afflictions of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, jealousy, and stinginess, transcend the cycle of rebirth, and attain enlightenment in the Pure Land. **Cloisonné Enamel (Filigree Enamel, Blue Firing)** Cloisonné enamel, scientifically known as copper-chased enamel, originated in the ancient Near East. As early as the 19th century BC, ancient Egyptian pharaohs used it to create necklaces, often in conjunction with gem inlay. The Eastern Roman Empire later elevated this craft to a very high level. China introduced it during the Yuan Dynasty and it reached its peak of brilliance during the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, hence its name "Jingtai Blue." Exquisite cloisonné enamel products have lustrous and bright colors, a thick and solid base, neat and uniform filigree, and brilliant gilding. They embody the warmth of jade, the radiance of jewels, and the delicacy of porcelain. Therefore, the cloisonné process is intricate and costly. **Tourmaline** Tourmaline, also known as schorl or rainbow gemstone, possesses extremely strong energy. Its colors are vibrant, varied, and highly transparent, making it beloved since ancient times. Tourmaline comes in a rich spectrum of colors, covering all seven colors, so its energy can correspond to the body's various chakras. When selecting tourmaline, one should pay attention to its color and clarity. Most tourmalines exhibit pleochroism (composite colors); pure single-colored stones are extremely rare. **Goldfish** Since ancient times, goldfish have been admired for their three beauties: elegant form, lively movement, and vibrant colors. The word "goldfish" (金魚, jīnyú) is a homophone for "gold and jade" (金玉, jīnyù). In ancient decorative culture, "gold" symbolized girls and "jade" (a homophone for "fish") symbolized boys, leading to the auspicious meaning of "gold and jade filling the hall" (金玉滿堂, jīnyù mǎntáng), signifying abundant wealth and a flourishing family. The goldfish's vibrant and diverse colors were also referred to by ancients as "golden-scaled celestial beings" and "peonies of the water." **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Tourmaline (Schorl), Enamel (Cloisonné), 18K Gold, 925 Silver Size: **1.

Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (small black spots, stone lines, ice cracks, inclusions, mineral deficiencies, asymmetry, etc.). With frequent wear, you will observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, which often become more translucent and captivating—this is the best form of maintenance. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral and amber) have low hardness and are not resistant to acids and alkalis. If they become dirty, avoid using detergents. Clean with plain water and wipe with a soft cloth. You can also use a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for gentle care. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan. Avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 3. Fabric materials (ribbons, cotton, gauze) have a soft and comfortable texture and a long lifespan. Avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when it becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with water as appropriate, or use a moderate amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, keep it dry as soon as possible. 5. When removing jewelry, store it properly in packaging to block excess air and slow down oxidation and discoloration.
