1. The Precious Parasol (གདུགས་, dug) – Protection from suffering.
2. The Golden Fishes (གསེར་ཉ་, ser nya) – Freedom and abundance.
3. The Treasure Vase (བུམ་པ་, bumpa) – Spiritual and material wealth.
4. The Lotus Flower (པདྨ་, padma) – Purity and enlightenment.
5. The Right-Turning Conch (དུང་གཡས་འཁྱིལ་, dung gyen khil) – The Buddha’s teachings.
6. The Endless Knot (དཔལ་བེའུ་, palbeu) – Interconnectedness of wisdom and compassion.
7. The Victory Banner (རྒྱལ་མཚན་, gyaltsen) – Triumph over obstacles.
8. The Dharma Wheel (ཁོར་ལོ་, khorlo) – The path to liberation.

This sacred motif adorns your offering cup, infusing it with auspicious blessings for meditation and devotion.
