The Treasure Vase, symbolizes the spiritual abundance of the Tibetan Mala, a treasure that did not diminish however much of it he gave away. It represents wealth, material prosperity and a long life, all through the spiritual benevolence of Buddhism.
The lotus, is a symbol of purity, renunciation, and divinity and one of the most poignant representations of Buddhist teaching. The roots of a lotus are in the mud, the stem grows up through the water, and the heavily scented flower lies pristinely above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. The lotus is one of the best-known symbols in Buddhism, it appears in every important deity's picture, either as a cradling seat, or as something to be held. Although there are a variety of plants that bloom on the water's surface, the lotus is the only one that has a stem strong enough to regularly hold the flower as much as a foot clear of the water. White lotuses symbolize a pure mind, red lotuses a pure heart and soul, and blue lotuses a pure body (specifically, purity of the senses). Thus, the pink lotus symbolizes total purity and Buddha himself.
The Conch-Shell is a sacred symbol of peace and good energy. It has been used as a religious instrument throughout the recorded history of religious music in Tibet. It symbolizes the fearless spread of the Buddha's true teachings - known as the dharma - in all directions, and the call to wake up to enlightenment out of the sleep of ignorance. Conch shells can coil either to the right or the left, but right-coiling ones are rare and are seen as being particularly sacred, because it is believed that the heavenly bodies also follow a right spiraling motion.
The Endless Knot overlaps without a beginning or an end, symbolizing the Buddha's endless wisdom and compassion. It is an abstract geometric design that turns back in on itself in an endless complex pattern. The knot represents a connection, a link with our fates, binding us to our karmic destiny. The Knot is also infinite, and so represents Buddha's infinite compassion and wisdom.
The Victory Banner, in Sanskrit is known as the dhvaja, meaning banner, standard, flag or ensign. Within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition a list of eleven specific forms of the victory banner are given for overcoming the powers of evil. It is symbolic of Buddhism's inevitable triumph over ignorance, death and all the other evils of the world. Buddha is said to have used the banner to indicate victory of knowledge over stupidity and also to indicate his triumph over the four Maras, demons of spiritual adversity, on his path to attaining Nirvana. Those Maras represent desire, emotional impurity, fear of death and pride and are obstacles on the path to immortality.
The Wheel, is an ancient Indian symbol of creation, sovereignty, protection, and the sun. Buddhism adopted the Wheel as a symbol of the process of learning and understanding the Buddha's teachings. It is said the Buddha's first disciples became enlightened during the course of three "turnings of the wheel" , in other words cycles of listening to his words and absorbing their import. Thus, the Wheel represents the process, of turning the wheel both in terms of studying and understanding, so as to bring the joy of Nirvana.
