Narrative:

In Tibetan Buddhism, the **Seven Treasures** (Seven Treasures of the Wheel-Turning King) symbolize the seven precious treasures owned by the ideal monarch, the **Wheel-Turning King**, and represent the king's power and ruling power. The seven treasures are:

1. **Golden Wheel Treasure**: It symbolizes the constant rotation of the wheel of wisdom, which can guide sentient beings to enlightenment and become Buddhas.

2. **Elephant Treasure**: Pure white and flawless, it symbolizes freedom from delusion and solid strength.

3. **Ma Bao**: Mercedes-Benz is swift, representing unremitting efforts and moving forward courageously.

4. **Junbao (Prime Minister and Assistant Minister)**: In charge of underground hidden treasures, symbolizing Samadhi.

5. **Minister Treasure (General Treasure)**: Assists the Wheel King and symbolizes peace and protection.

6. **Mani Jewel (Wish-fulfilling Jewel)**: It shines with light everywhere, symbolizing firm faith in liberation.

7. **Houbao (Empress Bao, Jade Maiden Bao)**: solemn and beautiful, symbolizing kindness and joy.

These seven treasures are not only a symbol of the Chakravartin, but also correspond to the seven factors of enlightenment in Buddhist practice (mindfulness, investigation of dharma, effort, joy, ease, concentration, and equanimity), reminding practitioners to cultivate wisdom, diligence, ease, and compassion in their practice.

In Tibetan Buddhist rituals and art, the Seven Treasures are often seen in the decoration of mandalas, thangkas, and ritual implements, and serve as spiritual guides for practitioners. Do you want to learn more about its use in specific rituals?
