Modern and stylish pendant featuring a Gold chromed Pi Yao and accented with a golden cube charm and black "om mani padme hum" bead.
This mystical good luck symbol Pi Yao is the wonderful creature whose task is to provide the blessings of good finance and wealth luck. A very fascinating fact about this lucky creature is that it does not have an anus, so that, despite its voracious appetite for gold and silver, things go in yet never discharged. This is a unique symbolism, indicating that money will come to you but never leave.
The Pi Yao is found in many places in Oriental countries, such as banks, casinos, and finance companies – anything that has to do with a benefit from monetary gain. Since ancient times, when it served to safeguard the homes of emperors and government officials, the Chinese have always adored and respected this extremely good luck symbol. It is a very loyal creature, and will always attempt to rid its owners life of bad luck and replace it with wealth luck.
The Pi Yao is believed to offer its owner a minimum of eight blessings, which are named below:
1. Brings fortune and good tidings
2. Producer of good Feng Shui or Earth luck
3. Attracts wealth and prosperity
4. Safeguards the home and the residents in it
5. Exterminates evil, adversity and obstacles
6. Summons windfall luck
7. Protects from accident during travel
8. Appeases Tai Sui (Grand Duke Jupiter)
“Om Mani PadMe Hum” (derived from Sanskrit) is the most widely-known and popular mantra used in Buddhism. This six syllable phrase which can be transliterated to "Hail the Jewel in the Lotus" is an invocation mantra of the Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion who protects one from harm. The Bodhisattva vowed to free all sentient beings from suffering and is said to appear anywhere to help all beings in danger and distress. Om Mani PadMe Hum is also referred to as "The Mantra of Universal Protection" or the "Six Character Great Bright Mantra"
