Description
Taoism emphasizes "cultivation" and values the experience of comprehending the great truths in daily life. A well-prepared and consecrated tassel handheld is a subtle medium that integrates practice into everyday life. It is not made of gold or jade, but with the blessing of Taoist rituals and the skilled craftsmanship of artisans, it possesses extraordinary power to purify the heart and protect the spiritual mind.
Opening the light: giving the essence of "guardian"
We fully understand the weight of the words "Kai Guang" (enlightened by a holy power). The enlightenment process for every tassel and handheld object is not just a formality. In a solemn temple, with strict discipline and vows, it is accomplished by a senior monk using ancient and secret mantras that have been passed down over thousands of years. This seals the compassionate blessings and pure energy of the Taoist ancestors into the objects. This elevates them beyond mere craftsmanship, transforming them into powerful talismans that can ward off evil, block negative energy, and stabilize the mind. They become personal guardians that protect the wearer.
"Tassel: Extension and Purification of Thoughts"
Sculpted fringe, also known as "Liu" or "Ying" in ancient times, symbolizes sweeping away dust and obstacles in Taoism. The handmade fringe made of carefully selected materials dangles gracefully. When you are upset and full of distracting thoughts, gently play with the fringe, feeling its silky and smooth texture. It's like using an invisible hand to wipe away the heart's mirror, allowing the agitation to subside and returning to peace. It is not only a point of focus but also a symbol of pure thoughts.
Hold it in hand: practicing in daily life
Suitable in size, it embraces with effortless elegance. Whether it's early morning meditation, a midday nap, reading scriptures at night, or during commuting or conference breaks, it can be held at any time. Twirling the beaded strings (if present), feeling the tassel gliding over your fingertips, and allowing the clear energy imbued by the opening of light to flow naturally. This can help you quickly concentrate, enhance your focus, and resist external disturbances. It is your accessible haven for the soul in a busy life.
