Narrative:

In Tibetan Buddhism, the **Eight Auspicious Objects** (Eight Auspicious Objects) are instruments that symbolize auspiciousness and perfection, representing the excellence of Buddhism and the perfection of practice. These auspicious objects are commonly seen in Buddhist arts and rituals such as temples, mandalas, thangkas, and ritual instruments, and are used in ceremonies such as consecration, blessing, and offerings.

The eight auspicious objects are:

1. **Falun**: It symbolizes the operation of Buddhism and represents that practitioners can continue to make progress and promote the spread of Buddhism.

2. **Dharma Conch**: It symbolizes the spread of Buddhism and represents the Buddha’s teachings, which resound like the sound of a conch shell and benefit all living beings.

3. **Victory Banner**: It symbolizes victory and achievement, and represents that practitioners can overcome troubles and achieve ultimate wisdom.

4. **Treasure bottle**: It symbolizes the perfection of wisdom and blessings, and represents that practitioners can obtain endless Dharma wealth and blessings.

5. **Lotus**: It symbolizes purity and enlightenment, and represents that although practitioners are in the secular world, they can remain pure and untainted.

6. Pisces: represents liberation and freedom, symbolizing that practitioners can break free from the shackles of reincarnation and achieve ultimate liberation.

7. **Auspicious Knot**: It symbolizes the infinity of cause and effect and wisdom, and represents the practitioner's ability to realize the interdependence and perfection of the Dharma Realm.

8. **Treasure canopy**: It symbolizes the protection of Buddhism, which can cover up troubles and obstacles and enable practitioners to abide in wisdom.

These auspicious objects are not only spiritual guides for practitioners, but also symbolize the perfection and excellence of Buddhism. They are often painted on temples, ritual objects, pagodas, clothing and paintings, symbolizing auspiciousness, happiness and perfection.
