Happy Thanksgiving from the Rubin! Today, we’re giving thanks to all of our supporters, members, followers, and visitors! To show our appreciation, we’re wishing you and your families good fortune and success with these Eight Auspicious Symbols. The Eight Auspicious Symbols help practitioners achieve success and prosperity in their future. In Buddhism, these symbols of good fortune represent the offerings made to Shakyamuni Buddha immediately after he gained enlightenment. We hope you all have a happy, healthy, and fortunate holiday season! ______ Details from Medicine Buddha Mandala; Inner Mongolia; 18th century; pigments on cloth; Rubin Museum of Art; C2006.31.3 (HAR 65660) #auspicious #eightauspicioussymbols #himalayanart #tibetanbuddhism #RubinMuseum
