Notice that the edges are rolled for durability & note that the best way to wear it is with the top or 'thumb-side' adjusted to be slightly more fitted than the 'pinky-side' & to put it on over the smallest part of the wrist - from the 'pinky-side'... It's easy & keeps things breezy! :D 

These eight symbols often appear in Nepali & Tibetan religious art. They are particularly prevalent in sand mandalas and are believed to symbolize the transient universe.

The Precious Parasol

gives protection from all evil.

The White Conch Shell

represents the fame of the Buddha’s teachings that spread in all directions like the sound of the conch shell. Also referred to as 'Naga Shell', this is a cousin of Key West's famous Queen Conch. 

The Two Golden Fish

symbolize being saved from the ocean of earthly life and suffering.

The Knot of Eternity

represents the intertwining of wisdom and compassion, the perfection of knowledge.

The Vase of Great Treasures

a traditional symbol of good fortune represents the dharma's perfect nature, longevity, and prosperity.

The Victory Banner

signifies the victory of the enlightened teachings, knowledge over ignorance, overcoming all hindrances and the attainment of happiness.

The Lotus Flower

one of Buddhism’s most significant symbols. It is a symbol of enlightenment and mental purity. The lotus has its roots in mud, but blossoms into a beautiful flower. Similarly, though an individual may be impure, there is the potential to gain enlightenment and the perfect state.

The Eight Spoked Wheel

known as the Wheel of Dharma represents the Noble Eightfold Path of the Buddhadharma. The wheel that leads to perfection.
