Symbols for Your Buddhist Charms

The market is full of mass-produced charms you can buy to represent your faith. But if you want something unique that has never existed before and perfectly encapsulates your personal outlooks towards Buddhism, partnering with Signature Coins is your best option. When creating a custom Buddhist charm or coin, you’ll want to decide on the images and symbols that best represent your intentions. 

Some of the most common symbols to show up in Buddhist art and in the teachings of the Buddha include:

  • The Lotus Flower — A symbol representing the ability we have to live with wisdom and purity above the mucky waters below. 
  • The Dharma Wheel — Also known as dharmachakra, this is a common symbol used to represent the Buddha’s teachings.
  • Parasol — A symbol of protection.
  • The Fish — They represent our ability to swim free in the ocean of suffering and delusion.
  • The Conch Shell — Believed to symbolize the beautiful sound of the dharma being shared.
  • The Victory Banner — Represents the victory of the Buddhist teachings over ignorance, hatred, anger, delusion and craving. 
  • The Treasure Vase — A reminder of the potential of the Buddha’s teachings. 
  • The Endless Knot — Whether symbolizing the endless path of the dharma, or the interconnectedness of the world, the eternal knot is a classic buddhist symbol. 
  • Wisdom Eyes — Representing the potential to awaken and see clearly.
  • The Three Jewels — a representation of the three things Buddhists take refuge in: the Buddha, the dharma and the sangha.
  • The Unalome — A symbol for the journey to enlightenment.

Any of these classic symbols make for excellent design elements for your custom Buddhist charm. Simply let our artists know how you want the symbols arranged, and they’ll set to work creating a perfect coin to your specifications.

Commemorative Buddhist Coins

Here at Signature Coins, we’re no strangers to custom commemorative coins. Whether you’re commemorating a milestone in your personal life or the passage of a recent, or upcoming, holiday, Buddhist coins are a perfect way to help you do so. Within the Buddhist tradition there are a number of dates and events commemorated through holidays, festivals and other celebrations. 

One of the unique aspects of Buddhist ceremonies and traditions is that there’s no one standard way to celebrate the holidays and festivals taking place within the religion. The observation of the Buddha’s birthday, for example, is celebrated with the release of caged birds, or the lighting of lotus lanterns, or the pouring of scented water over Buddha statues depending on where in the world you are when celebrating. With so many different choices in celebration practices, adding commemorative Buddhist coins is easy. 

Celebrations and festivals within the Buddhist tradition include:

  • Vesak — Buddha’s Birthday
  • Magha Puja — The spiritual aims of the day are not to commit any kind of sins; do only good.
  • Asalha Puja — Also known as "Dharma Day" celebrates the Buddha's first teaching.
  • Loi Krathong — Ceremonial items placed in biodegradable items are floated down the river representing bad luck disappearing.
  • Uposatha — A Buddhist day of observance.
  • Bodhi Day — Holiday commemorating the day the Buddha experienced enlightenment.
  • Abhidhamma Day — Celebrates when the Buddha went to the Tushita Heaven to teach his mother the Abhidhamma.
  • Madhu Purima — Commemorates an occasion on which the Buddha retreated to the wilderness of Parileyya forest to bring peace between two quarrelling factions of disciples.

Scenes from festival celebrations or from the stories behind the festivals themselves all make perfect design options for commemorative Buddhist coins. 

If you aren’t an artist, don’t worry about the process of designing and creating your custom coin. Our team of artists have designed coins based off of nothing more than written instructions or rough sketches on napkins. If you can dream it, we can create it! Simply contact us today and we’ll get back to you with a full design.
