Peace and Harmony

Product Description

Bejewelled with over 50 glittering swarovski crystals, this spellbinding apple in premium finishing is a harbinger of supportive relationships, harmony, peace, joy and happiness. The Chinese word for apple is ping guo with the first word sounding similar to ping which is translated to mean peace. Thus, the symbolism of apples in feng shui is generally meant to convey peace, harmony and reconciliation. The word ping also means safety. So while the primary symbolism of apple is to mean peace, it is also appropriate to wish for the safety of someone. Apples are therefore common gifts for people who are going on a journey to traveling for holidays. The fruit is also commonly used as offerings to taoist gods for love blessing. Those who have them on display for feng shui reasons are usually for the enhancement of peace and harmony between members of the household. For this reason of promoting harmony and dissolving conflict, they are sometimes also placed in areas that can dissolve disharmony in the house. The symbolism behind this is that negative energy that causes quarrels between residents would be alleviated by the presence of the fruit that represents peace. There are three rollings of mantras that are kept inside the apple: 1. Manjushri Mantra (promote calmness), 2. “May All Beings Be Happy” Mantra (joy fulfilling) and 3. Heart Sutra Mantra (dissolves grudges, worries and hatred). The apple comes with a Tai Chi Double Lotus Plate. This apple will ensure that all members of the household stay supportive of one another, and to prevent clashes and conflict from arising. Also an excellent cure for use within the office to maintain a productive and supportive environment between colleagues and workmates.

Having great control over the cosmic world, this mantra increases one’s lifespan, acquires good fortune and wisdom, avoids untimely or accidental death, removes all negative karma, and accomplishes non-death or is reborn the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The plate is also empowered with two taoist magic incantations, one to fix 100 types of poison arrows (protection against all negativity) and the other is to enable wishes to be materialized.

Apple Symbolism

Older varieties of apple prefer a cooler, moister climate than is generally available in China, so apples used to be imported from Korea and Japan making them an exotic luxury. Wild Chinese apple trees in Northern China are Malus spectabilis hai táng which does not produce sweet fruit but are admired for their blossom in spring. The similar sounding táng means ‘hall’, so a picture of apple blossom can represent the home in a painting. Yù táng ‘Jade Hall’ is another name for the illustrious Hanlin Academy and therefore represents a wish for scholarly achievement. The combination of apple and magnolia together gives the phrase yù táng fù guì meaning ‘be wealthy and honored’. Wild apple blossom may represent female beauty, possibly from the celebrated Yang Guifei being termed the Hai táng nu ‘Paradise-apple maiden’ . ‘Apple’ in Chinese sounds the same as píng ‘peace, calm’ so an apple is a hidden wish for peace. Together with a persimmon shì an apple wishes success in business affairs (shì). A gift of apples or a still life arrangement that includes apples represents a wish for peace.
