A Story
Mark often delivered goods across the city. One rainy night, he grew anxious on the highway. The Buddha – blessed bodhi charm from a friend, with its boxwood Buddha hanging quietly, caught his eye. He touched it, recalling his friend’s words: “The Buddha protects your safety.”
Miraculously, anxiety faded. He gripped the wheel steadily through the rain. Since then, the charm became his “protector.” Whether on his car or bag, every journey felt reassuring—like an invisible force guiding him through storms to his destination.
Brief Introduction to the History and Feng Shui of Bodhi Travel Charms
Bodhi seeds have deep roots in Buddhism. “Bodhi” comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “enlightenment and wisdom”—since the Buddha attained enlightenment under a bodhi tree, it has symbolized wisdom. Originally the fruit of plants near snow-capped mountains, bodhi seeds were often made into prayer beads; today, they broadly refer to nut seeds used in ornaments, with rich varieties.
The culture of travel charms dates back over 2,000 years in China, where people hung ornaments on carriages, bags, etc., to pray for safety during journeys, symbolizing warding off evil and protecting travels.
Bodhi travel charms hold special meaning: Bodhi seeds calm the mind, helping travelers stay peaceful. Paired with peach-wood lotus decorations—peach wood is traditionally believed to ward off evil, while lotus symbolizes purity and tranquility—these charms can be hung in cars, on bags, etc. Whether driving, walking, or commuting, they’re thought to gather protective energy, ensuring safe travels and keeping disturbances at bay.
