The Collection: Eight Auspicious Offerings ( 八吉祥 )

Design Concept:

Among the eight artifacts in the story of Gautama Buddha’s path to enlightenment, the “dhvaja”—or “victory banner”—was a symbol of warfare that in scripture was used to represent the Buddha’s triumphs over four obstacles to enlightenment: pride, desire, disturbing emotions, and fear of death. In LIULI’s artistic interpretation of the ancient scriptures and the “Ashtamangala,” this particular artifact is sculpted into a golden-amber low relief glass piece that radiates energy and auspiciousness from within. The “Victory Banner” represents triumph and the personal victories one has over their demons. The artwork is deeply symbolic, rooted in historical reference, and has both religious and secular connotations.

設計概念說明：
在釋迦牟尼佛開悟之路的八件神器中，"dhvaja"或 "寶幢"是一種戰爭的象徵，在經文中被用來代表佛陀戰勝了開悟的四個障礙：驕傲、慾望、干擾的情緒和對死亡的恐懼。在LIULI對古代經文和 "Ashtamangala "的藝術詮釋中，這個特殊的工藝品被雕刻成一個金黃色的低浮雕玻璃作品，從內部散發著能量和吉祥。寶幢代表著勝利和一個人對其惡魔的個人勝利。該藝術品具有深刻的象徵意義，植根於歷史參考，同時具有宗教和世俗的內涵。
