Nyoi Hoju 如意宝珠 (Cintimani)

Nyoi Hoju 如意宝珠 (Cintimani) is a wish-fulfilling jewel within both Hindu and Buddhist traditionsin Japan, this jewel signifies the bestowal of blessings on all who suffer, for it grants wishes, pacifies desires, and brings clear understanding of the Dharma (Buddhist law).

"When a person attains realization, it is like the moon's reflection in water. The moon never becomes wet; the water is never disturbed. Although the moon is vast and great light, it is reflected in a drop of water. The whole moon and even the whole sky are reflected in the drop of dew on a blade of grass. Realization does not destroy the person, as the moon does not make a whole in the water. "
