The gourd embodies the ever-changing essence of enlightenment, housing harmony, auspicious wealth, and longevity. The gourd is a distinctly Eastern motif. Lao Tzu said: "The Tao gave birth to One; One gave birth to Two; Two gave birth to Three; Three gave birth to all things. All things carry yin and embrace yang." The gourd's shape, like the sun and moon, represents the union of yin and yang, cradling the cosmos within, the origin of all creation. See the gourd, understand the state of all beings. The gourd is round and gentle, like the Great Maitreya Buddha, with a perpetual smile, content and joyful.
