There is a set of 8 auspicious prominently used in Tibetan Buddhism, which is known as Asthamangala, the Sanskrit word, meaning, the eight lucky or sacred symbols . These symbols are assumed to be the attributes of the goddess of Good fortune, Asthamangaladevi. The Buddhists often see these 8 symbols as a focal point of meditation and contemplation. They can traditionally listed in the order of:
A parasol(Chattra) : royalty and spiritual power
A pair of golden fishes(Matsyayugma) : good fortune, fertility and salvation
A treasure vase(Kalash) : spiritual and material abundance
A lotus(Padma) : mental and spiritual purity
A conch shell(Sankha) : the fame of Buddha’s teaching
An endless knot(Shrivasta) : Infinite wisdom of the Buddha
A victorious banner(Dhwaja): the victory of the Buddha’s teachings
These eight auspicious symbols are found printed on the Tibetan prayer flags, Mandalas,Thangkas, Gongs, Singing bowls, etc as the fine artwork decoration.
