What Eight Auspicious Objects symbolize?
The mystic knot symbol explains that everything goes in a cycle, where there is not start and end point. It is a neverending cycle in Buddhism. The mystic knot is seen as the symbol of good tidings with minimal illnesses, problems, pain, setbacks and any sort of sufferings. It is a knot that implies smooth and easy life. Therefore it is also the magical lucky knot in feng shui. It is also the perfect emblem of "persistant love", thus being identified as the lucky love symbol suitable for ensuring that the romance in a marriage will last. It is also the best symbol of protection in Period 8 against accidents and misfortune. If you are travelling offshore or faraway, the mystic knot will also protect you against accidents and danger, including robberies, burgalary, kidnaps and any other kinds of danger.

The conch shell has survived as the original horn trumpet since time immemorial. Ancient Indian epics describe how each hero of mythical warfare carried a mighty white conch shell, which often bore a personal name. It is an emblem of power, authority and sovereignty whose blast is believed to banish evil spirits, avert natural disasters, and scare away poisonous creatures. Today, in its greatly tamed avatar, the conch is used in Tibetan Buddhism to call together religious assemblies. During the actual practise of rituals, it is used both as a musical instrument and as a container for holy water. From a feng shui perspective, the conch shell is great emblem of networking luck, especially those undertaking business connected to export and import. It helps to make one prosper from gaining global acceptance if your business is targeting worldwide. It is also a good activator of popularity and associated to fame luck in the south.

The canopy is symbolized by the umbrella, whose important function is to cast a shadow, the shadow of protection. The dictionary defines a parasol as an umbrella used for protection from the sun. It is a traditional Indian symbol of both protection and royalty. The ability to protect oneself against inclement weather has always, in all cultures, been a status symbol. Thus the coolness of its shade symbolizes protection from the heat of suffering, desire, and other spiritually harmful forces. The precious umbrella symbolises the wholesome activity of preserving beings from illness, harmful forces, negative influences, obstacles and so forth in this life, and all kinds of temporary and enduring sufferings of the three lower realms, and the realms of men and gods in future lives. It also represents the enjoyment of a feast of benefit under its cool shade. In feng shui, it is being used to represent success in career and triumph in all areas of life including business pursuits and examination.

The treasure or wealth vase's symbolic meaning was almost always associated with the ideas of storage and the satisfaction of material desires. In the sagas and fairytales of many different cultures, for example, there is the recurring idea of an inexhaustible vessel.The treasure vase symbolises an endless rain of long life, wealth and prosperity and all the benefits of this world and liberation. Its presence is believed to attract wealth and bring harmony to the environment.

The wheel has its rim representing the element of limitation, the hub is the axis of the world, and the eight spokes denote the Eightfold Path set down by the Buddha, which leads to the cessation of all suffering. In feng shui, it signifies overcoming of shortcomings of mankind such as ignorance, bad temper, love and greediness which translates to the rootcauses of sufferings. The symbol is therefore often used to achieve spiritual growth, confidence and wisdom.

The double golden carps symbolize happiness, as they have complete freedom in water. They represent fertility and abundance as they multiply very rapidly. Fish often swim in pairs, and in China they represented conjugal unity and fidelity, where a pair of fishes would often be given as a wedding present. In Buddhism, the double fish is a powerful charm capable of countering evil, accidents, succumbing to epidemics and bad intentions. The double fish is being displayed by rich families to enjoy abundant good fortune and to activate wealth corners.

The pattern of growth of a lotus signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. Though there are other water plants that bloom above the water, it is only the lotus which, owing to the strength of its stem, regularly rises eight to twelve inches above the surface. The lotus flower symbolises the complete purification of the defilements of the body, speech and mind, and the full blossoming of wholesome deeds in blissful liberation. In feng shui the lotus brings happiness, love luck and uninterupted social advancements.

In Sanskrit, the banner or sign of victory is known as the dhvaja, meaning standard, flag or ensign. Originally, the victory banner was a military standard carried in ancient Indian warfare, and bore the specific insignia of its champion.In Buddhism, the flag of victory also denotes Buddha's triumph over Mara (evil), who personifies hindrances on the path to spiritual realization. It was only after conquering these four negative traits that Buddha could proclaim victory over ignorance, and achieve nirvana. In feng shui, the victory banner symbolises the victory of the activities of one's own and others' body, speech and mind over obstacles and negativities. It also stands for the complete victory of the Buddhist Doctrine over all harmful and pernicious forces.
