Umbrella (gdugs): a token of loyalty and symbolizing the protection of the Dharma (faith).	Endless Knot (apal-be): an auspicious geometric diagram symbolizing devotion.
Dharma Wheel (chakra): symbolizing the unity of all things and Sakyamuni himself.	Golden Fish (gser-na): symbolizing spiritual liberation. As water allows fish to swim freely, so Buddhist belief emancipates the soul.
Lotus flower (padma): symbolizing purity. As the flower rises from muddy roots, so Nirvana arises from this shabby world.	Banner of Victory (dpal-be): a unique Buddhist object, with the cylindrical layered banner symbolizing victory over ignorance and death.
