Eighteen-seed Lucky Bracelet

In an ancient and serene temple, morning bells and evening drums sound, and Buddhist chants curl. The temple carries thousands of years of history and faith and is a place where people's souls find sustenance.

According to legend, in order to promote Buddhism and save all living beings, the eminent monks and virtuous people in the temple carefully selected eighteen different bodhi seeds and gems. After chanting and blessing, they made the eighteen-seed bracelet. Each seed contains the wisdom and power of Buddhism and represents different meanings and blessings.

1. Symbol of the Eighteen Realms: In Buddhism, the number "eighteen" symbolizes the eighteen realms, which include the six senses, six sense objects, and six consciousnesses, thus the bracelet is endowed with the implication of breaking through afflictions and achieving inner purity.

2. Blessing of the Eighteen Arhats: The eighteen seeds also symbolize the eighteen Arhats in Buddhism, who each possess supernatural powers and protect all living beings. Wearing the Eighteen Seeds bracelet is considered to receive the blessings of the Arhats, to stay away from disasters, and to bring peace and auspiciousness.
   

3. Freedom and Wealth: The fish represents freedom and abundance, symbolizing the arrival of fortune and wealth.

4. Buddha's Wisdom and Compassion: As an important part of the bracelet, the Buddhist beads naturally represent the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha, implying practice and enlightenment.

5. Courage and Strength: Images of auspicious animals such as lions and dragons symbolize courage and strength, implying the conquest of difficulties and evils, and warding off evil spirits and disasters.

6. Prosperous Family and Successful Career: Images such as the five sons' success, deer, and rabbits respectively imply family prosperity, happiness and wealth, and career success, showing people's beautiful expectations for family and career.
