Eight auspicious symbols are among the most common decorative motifs in Tibetan culture, appearing on altars, offering accessories, and home decor. The eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism are parasol, pair of fishes, treasure vase, lotus, white-spiraling conch shell, endless knot, victory banner, and golden wheel.

Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezik or Guanyin) is said to be the essence of the speech of all the buddhas and the incarnation of their compassion. As one of the Eight Great Close Sons, he is usually depicted as white in colour and holding a lotus. He is of special importance to Tibetans, so much so that he is sometimes described as the patron deity of Tibet.

In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, reciting “Om Mani Padme Hung” is associated with compassion, purification, and the accumulation of merit. These are religious teachings rather than guaranteed outcomes.
