The gourd represents the ever-changing Bodhi, embodying the harmony of heaven and earth, auspiciousness, prosperity, and longevity. The gourd is a distinctly Eastern image. Lao Tzu said: "The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang." The gourd's shape resembles the sun and moon, the union of yin and yang, containing the sun, moon, and heavens within, symbolizing the beginning of all things. To see a gourd is to understand the state of all beings. The gourd is round and gentle, like a smiling Maitreya Buddha, always content and joyous. Within the small gourd lies a fulfilling perfection of life. **With this hand-held gourd, may you find joy in your endeavors and peace in all things!**
