Dzi – Introduction
A dzi is very much revered in Tibet. It is so precious and valuable that Tibetans would rarely want to part with it, as was the case in the old days. Although, Dzis do circulate among the community, for example, they are traditionally used as dowries in the Tibetan culture or passed down as family heirlooms. In ancient times, one could trade a rare dzi for a 100 yaks or to raise funds for building a mansion or monastery. Today, as trading plays an important part, authentic and old Dzis are reportedly sold for tens of thousands of dollars or even more! Famous Hollywood stars and popular personalities from Hong Kong and Taiwan (Mel Gibson, Jet Li and etc) have also added the popularity to these legendary dzis. The dzi has fascinating and esoteric associations, it is believed to possess the power to bring wealth and good fortune, and it can protect the wearer from illness, injury and evil. This is strange but true as many, even in present, who are wearing dzi benefits from its magical powers.
Dzi (pronounced Zee) is a Tibetan word to describe a patterned, usually oblong, round, cylindrical or tabular shape pierced lengthwise called Heaven's (tian zhu) in Chinese. The meaning of the word Tibetan "Dzi" translates to "shine, brightness, clearness, and splendor. It originates from the Himalayan cultural sphere and can command high prices and are difficult to come by. They are found primarily in Tibet, but also in neighboring countries like Bhutan, Dharamsala, Nepal, Ladakh, Sikkim and along the Silk Road.
Some believe it is a ‘vessel' that holds secrets to be revealed sometime in the future, and they have been found inside of many sacred relics, statues and time capsules in the form of 'Termas' (hidden teachings to be revealed to the world at a later date by 'Tertons' who are highly accomplished masters of realizations destined to retrieve them). In Tibet, many stories are associated with dzis. Some believe the motifs have been dropped down from the sky by goddess and bodhisattvas to bestow blessings to those in need. It is believed to have been sent to help everyone and that everyone (nobody is spared) in this world is poor in some area of their life. No one is perfectly rich in everything! |
