Silver-plated hand enamelled charms

Beautiful Enamel Chinese Symbol Charm. Has the Chinese Symbol for Happiness on the front, and the English translation on the back. Explanation of happiness in mystical traditions, especially in advanced spiritual techniques is related to full balance (conjunction, union, "secret marriage") of so called inner energy lines (energy channels of a soul or deepest dimension of the human): nadi (ancient indian), gimel kavim (hebrew), pillars, columns, gnostic ophis or caduceus. In balanced state two main lines (left & right, Ida & Pingala) form third line, called Shushumna or lashon hakodesh (hebr.). Speaking technically (full) activity of this third or central line is happiness. Left and right lines include all aspects of normal human life: sleep and awake, body and mind, physical and spiritual and so on. To attain balanced state of these 2 lines is a main task of life - a paradoxical result of all kinds of activities and endeavours combined with full relax or tranquillity at the same time. Personal happiness forms the centerpiece of Buddhist teachings and the Eightfold Path that will lead it's practitioner to Nirvana, a state of everlasting happiness.
