The eight Lucky Symbols are very common Buddhist symbols - the Golden Fish, the Conch Shell, the Golden Wheel, the Parasol, the Lotus flower, the Treasure Vase, the Eternal Knot and the Victory Banner. These eight lucky symbols can be seen as decoration and design on house wall paintings or even as a decoration on everyday objects like cupboards, cups and so on.

These simple but significant symbols have greater meaning and stories behind them. These eight lucky symbols represent the Buddha.

The white conch represent the words coming out from the white teeth of the Buddha like the never fading conch that gives the sound of dharma that wakes every sentient being from the world of ignorance and ego onto the path of enlightenment.

The monk wears head phones over his head infront of the white conch. One tends to question the sound of purity. Is he listening to the words of the dharma or is he being distracted by the time and technology or how times have changed and Buddhism as well.
