Ancient Tibetan Dzi
For thousands of years, Tibetans have viewed
Dzi as a living gemstone. It is meant for devout worship and is reverently kept and passed down over generations. The ancient
Dzi absorbs cosmic energy from the universe, hence it can guard against misfortune and brings blessings, stabilizes blood pressure, increases the internal '
qi', gives good fortune and bliss. Till now,
Dzi enjoys great popularity around the world, and it is a revered sacred charm for protection, worship, health, as well as a symbol of wealth.
Place of Origin and Legend
Dzi is not only a very rare and precious gemstone, it is also one of the seven treasures in Tibetan Buddhism. The main places of origin are Western Tibet, Eastern Tibet, Bhutan,
Sikkim,
Ladakh and certain regions in the Himalayas.
Dzi has been around for 2000 to 2500 years. According to legend,
Dzi is actually a “God’s treasure?which has descended to earth and was discovered by the Tibetans. Hence the Tibetans still regard
Dzi as the “heavenly stone?
Stories on the origin of
Dzi varies, one account has it that it flowed from a stream in
Ngari; another believed that it was the treasure of the
Azha Kingdom, Tibet; yet others thought it was one of the gemstones in the treasury of the
Tagzig Kingdom. It is also said to be the celestial essence from
Manjushri Bodhisattva's previous incarnate (
Manjushri Buddha); some believed it was made by
Asura; it is even said to be made from meteorites that plummeted down to earth. According to another legend, the compassionate
Vajravarahi Buddha let
Dzi descended to earth to stop the spreading of epidemic because it possessed the power to guard against evil. What can be verified is, although modern technology can replicate the appearance of
Dzi, it is unable to reproduce the strong magnetic energy that
Dzi possess. Neither can it replace the religious belief passed down over the generations. Hence, judging from its unique quality and extensive historical value,
Dzi is very valuable.
Historical Accounts
The earliest record of
Dzi in China’s history is in the Tang Dynasty. When Princess
Wencheng married Tibetan King
Songtsen Gampo, the most expensive betrothal gift was a Buddha statue built according to the image of the 12 year old
Jowo Sakyamuni. It was brought to Tibet all the way from
Chang'an. The Buddha's diadem, cape, decorative strap and robe were splendidly adorned with various pearls, agates, turquoises, corals and hundreds of various
Dzi, including three Nine-eyed
Dzi beads, Triple-eyed
Dzi beads, Double-eyed
Dzi beads, Tiger-tooth & Longevity
Dzi beads and others. This Buddha statue is currently placed in Lhasa,
Jokhang Monastery. Hence, we can see that
Dzi beads have been used as offerings to Buddha; not only are they sacred, but they are also rare and precious.
