The "Eighteen Seeds" bracelet corresponds to the "Eighteen Realms" in Buddhism. Do you know what it means?

In a bustling city, people always pursue items that can represent their personality and beliefs. As an exquisite work that combines traditional culture and Buddhist beliefs, the "Eighteen Seeds" bracelet has gradually been loved by more and more people.

 

The name "Eighteen Seeds" sounds full of mystery and solemnity.
So, what exactly is it?
Simply put, "Eighteen Seeds" is a bracelet made of eighteen different kinds of Bodhi seeds.
Each kind of Bodhi seed has its own unique symbolic meaning, and the combination of these eighteen kinds of Bodhi seeds just happens to echo the "Eighteen Realms" in Buddhism.

Such a design not only shows the profound heritage of traditional culture, but also expresses people's expectations and wishes for a better life.
So why choose these 18 kinds of Bodhi seeds?
There is actually a profound Buddhist culture behind this.
In Buddhism, Bodhi seeds are regarded as a symbol of enlightenment, representing people's practice and enlightenment in the world.

The "eighteen" in "eighteen seeds" corresponds to the "eighteen realms" in Buddhism, namely six roots, six dusts, and six consciousnesses.

Six roots

The six roots represent human senses and perception abilities: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. They are the way humans perceive external things, and they are also the obstacles we need to face in the process of practice. Through practice, we can gradually reduce our inner attachment and greed, let go of the pursuit of the material world, and better focus on the inner spiritual world.

Six dusts

The six dusts represent external things and environments: color, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma. They are part of people's daily lives and the source of our inner attachments and troubles. In the process of practice, we need to learn to distinguish between true and false, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and not be confused by the temptations of the outside world.

Six consciousnesses

The six consciousnesses are our thinking and conscious activities: eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and consciousness. They are the process of processing and handling external information and internal feelings. In the process of practice, we need to learn to observe our inner changes, understand our emotions and thoughts, so as to better control our thoughts and behaviors. These categories cover all the ways people perceive the world, and also represent the various challenges people need to face in the process of practice.

Therefore, the "Eighteen Seeds" bracelet is not only a decoration, but also a spiritual practice tool, reminding the wearer to always maintain inner peace and enlightenment in daily life.
Wearing the "Eighteen Seeds" bracelet is actually a kind of inner practice.
Whenever we wear it, whether it is work or life, it silently reminds us: to always maintain inner peace and clarity, and not to be affected by the disturbances of the outside world.
When we encounter setbacks and difficulties, we can gently stroke the Bodhi seeds on the bracelet and feel the strength and courage they bring.
In this way, no matter how the outside world changes, we can maintain a peaceful heart and calmly face every challenge in life.

Of course, there are also some things to pay attention to when wearing the "Eighteen Seed Bracelets" :

1. It is recommended to wear your left hand for the first three days, and then wear any hand at will；

2. Do not put it in the kitchen and toilet alone, and put it in a clean bag when not in use;
