Acala Buddha Buddhist protection reliquary in solid 925 silver 18k gold plated turquoise. Arizona Turquoise wheel of life

Wheel of life on the back, spinning on the back

Dimensions: 56/43/7 mm Weight approximately 58 grams.

In terms of symbols, the Buddha, seated under the bodhi tree, saw two
things. First, he saw a Ferris wheel. This wheel embraces the whole of
conditioned existence, it is of the same extent as the cosmos, it contains
all living beings. It spins non-stop: it spins day and night,
it turns life after life, it turns era after era.

We can't see when it started spinning, and we can't for
the moment to see when it will stop turning: only a Buddha sees that.

In esotericism, it is considered a body of metamorphosis (Nirmânakâya)
of Vairocana, whose firmness of spirit and will to destroy he personifies
the evil. He would assume, "against obstacles, the energy of the adept
same", thus showing the power of compassion of Vairocana. His sword
is used to fight the "three poisons": avarice, anger and ignorance.

give them an unshakeable resolve to defeat the forces of evil, it is
sometimes, as such, invoked as a "life extender".

lessons). He is represented with 4 heads, four arms and four legs,
trampling the demons. He holds the sword, the rope, a vajra and a skullcap
cranial.
