“Buddha sharanam gacchami”- I take refuge in the Buddha, is the supreme mantra of the followers of the sect. From all the troubles of the world, the karma of birth, and the cycle of life, the Buddha is the only savior. The karma-phala (fruit of action) of past lives can be removed by his pure wisdom. As a symbol of the powers of the Buddha, this wall hanging is crafted with profound iconography. In the center of the circular wall hanging sits Buddha on a blooming lotus, in the Bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture).
He is surrounded by the Eight auspicious signs of Buddhism or the Ashtamangala, suggesting that he is the source of Universal auspiciousness that manifests in these signs. The outer circle of the wall hanging is decorated with the twelve signs of Chinese astrology, which form the aura of the Buddha. The message of the imagery is simple- it is from the Buddha that all the bliss of the world emanates and He is the supreme guardian and guide for all beings, born under different zodiacs. In him, every human being can find the path to enlightenment.
