Zodiac Guardian for RABBIT: Manjusri Bodhisattva 文殊菩萨

 
After 虚空藏菩萨 Akasagarbha Bodhisattva for Ox and Tiger, now for friends born in year of Rabbit: 文殊菩萨 Manjusri Bodhisattva.

Manjusri is one of the 4 FOUR Bodhisattvas in Buddhism; rides on a lion, representing strength and order. Manjusri is the number one representation of wisdom (that's why Master Yun is taking photo of Manjusri jadeite pendant with the black Duan inkstone 黑端!).

 

Speaking of the black Duan inkstone, check out our "HBL package" -- something for you, for your kids, for the house's fengshui. To booster literati, good grades, promotion luck.

 

The Lotus version has a special touch, look at the background again: it's a wall of 菩提 Bodhi (fruit), shaped like hearts.

 

The Bodhi Tree was where Buddha achieved enlightenment. And the Bodhi Tree has been considered as "the tree of awakening". Bodhi also means "to awaken", "to understand".

It is important to have blessings and wealth in our hands, in our pockets. But it is most crucial to have them in our hearts, for that is where the source is. We might gain some, lose some, daily. We might go through a crisis. But as long as our hearts are strong and has the capacity for gold, gold shall manifest.

 

We call this 心有所想,手中所得 (what your heart desires, you shall receive them in your hands).

May those who receive blessings from 文殊菩萨 Manjusri Bodhisattva, receive blessings of wisdom and strength that take root in their hearts.
