Meanings of the Dzi beads:
Guanyin Dzi

With her one should find great love and according to legend be blessed with eternal blessing and happiness.
Lotus Dzi
The Dzi-Lotus bead has the ability to purify the mind and calm the heart. This leads to inner peace and a clear consciousness. In Buddhism, the lotus symbolizes many things. But the main meaning of the Dzi-lotus is spiritual revelation and purity. This is the manifestation of the true nature of a being, realized through enlightenment, compassion for all living beings, and liberation from one's own passions.
9-Eyed Dzi
One of the most popular beads, the 9-Eyed Dzi, helps its owner to obtain material and social luck, good health, and success. Moreover, it helps to gain compassion and fame and to dispel evil. It also serves as a protector. It helps to gain the nine inclinations: sympathy, recognition, intelligence, popularity, dignity, power, the ability to control life, prestige, and the removal of all obstacles on the life journey.
Dragon Eye Dzi
The Dragon Eye Dzi stone stands for good karma. It is said that the dragon lives hidden between heaven and earth. The Dragon Eye Dzi connects the human owner with these dragons.
Big Man Dzi
The Big Man or the great personality Dzi attracts helpful and important people, compassionate samaritans and mentors into your life to support you in achieving your goals and to ensure a smooth flow in life.
Swastika Dzi
The Swastika Dzi or Hotu Dzi is an ancient symbol that embodies the radiant light of Buddha from all directions. Hotu Dzi represents the law of the universe and all its aspects. It helps in studying this universal law and protects the bead owner in legal proceedings and other legal matters.
2-Eyed Dzi
Two-eyed Dzi beads are supposed to grant balance to life, energy and relationships.
5-Eyed Lightning Dzi
These beads are said to bring success in many areas of life and are highly sought after by Feng Shui enthusiasts. Their magical effects allegedly include the ability to quickly climb the career ladder, increase intelligence, amplify the auspicious symbols surrounding the bearer, evoke joyful blessings, and achieve success in all endeavors.
Dragon Dzi Pearl
The Dragon Dzi bead has pronounced masculine Yang energy and is a symbol of male strength. Therefore this Tibetan talisman is best worn by representatives of Yang energy, i.e., men. This Tibetan talisman helps to find and strengthen all male qualities. Dragons are mythical and magical creatures who can be a source of life and life forms according to legend. The Dragon Dzi bead helps to unite the three most important components of life: body, mind and soul into a single harmonious organism. Such a connection grants the bearer good physical health, much luck and success in business, and great spiritual power.
1-Eyed/Mountain Dzi
The "1-Eyed/Mountain" Dzi focuses on revealing talents and personal development with regard to creativity and unlocking individual potential. It can trigger thinking processes, give more mental intellect, focus on cognitive learning processes and thus be helpful for certain professions that require high cognitive potential. This should aid in information intake and data processing and thus lead to better performance and performance proofs.
Also for creative professions, the Dzi can provide constantly new ideas and innovations and thus positively influence the career, whether employed or freelance.
Often the 1-Eyed Dzi is shown in connection with a mountain peak, which is also used as a symbol for career promotion, and together with both symbols promotes career development and thus secures existence.
3-Eyed Dzi
The 3-Eyed Dzi stands for success, wealth, a long life full of health and happy experiences. This is one of the most powerful beads to achieve financial wealth as well as health, family, love, happiness, career, wealth and creative success. It also strengthens the bond in family and partnership.
6-Eyed Dzi
The "6-Eyed" Dzi bead describes in Buddhism the concept of the 6 existences of human life, from the lowest level described in the Christian world as hell to the highest level of human existence, paradise. The lowest level describes a state of self-destruction, i.e., dominant negative forces that contaminate the mind and drive the person to madness. Through this mental state the person loses their freedom. The subsequent levels describe the improvement toward good, mental health, gratitude and appreciation in the small (and large) things life provides. The highest level describes paradise, i.e., the absolute satisfaction, bliss and tranquility of a person with themselves, their mind and their life, characterized by harmony and balance. Only through mental control is a person able to learn self-cultivation and self-knowledge and thereby free their mind, which is beneficial for a long and carefree life. This Dzi is said to help preserve the mind from dominant fears and thoughts and to walk the path to complete enlightenment and healing according to legend.
7-Eyed Dzi
With this stone, career and wealth come to the foreground. It also promises health and a long life.
10-Eyed Dzi
The "10-Eyed" Dzi is also called a “cleansing Dzi,” because it is said to cleanse the soul and free it from all obstacles that hinder the path to success, both personally and professionally. Accordingly, the 10-Eyed Dzi is also regarded as a strong supporting force in business matters according to legend.
It is also said to free one from misfortune and evil karma. Thus it is interesting for those who feel they are not blessed with success or are pursued by a streak of bad luck. Those who feel blocked in life, dreams and ideas not realized, can regain more joy and hope through the 10-Eyed Dzi.
13-Eyed Dzi
The 13-Eyed Dzi is the symbol of 5 Dhayani Buddhas and 8 auspicious signs. The 13 eyes of the Dzi bead stand for mental calm, create a quiet mind and help control negative emotions. This is an excellent Dzi for those who suffer from depression. This Dzi can become a source of strength that harmonizes well and energizes your body so that you feel wholeness, balance and empowerment.
Kubera Dzi
The Dzi-Kubera bead is one of the most popular Tibetan talismans aimed at accumulating wealth. This Dzi symbolizes the god of wealth, Kubera or Jambhala. These are different aspects of the god of wealth and abundance that differ between Buddhist and Hindu traditions. The power of these wealth gods is also present in other Dzi beads.
Spider Dzi
The Spider Dzi bead is a bead for active people. The Spider Dzi bead helps its bearer to cope with information overload, to plan all meetings and activities, and not to get lost in the constant changes of life. This bead is especially recommended for children and students who are stressed at school/university and have various extracurricular activities.
Turtle Dzi
The Dzi bead, the turtle shell of longevity, symbolizes one of the four heavenly animals in Feng Shui – the tortoise. The Turtle Dzi bead extends the life of its owner, grants health and helps recover faster from illnesses. In addition, this Dzi provides stability, brings luck and has a function of support and protection.
Ruyi Dzi
The “Ruyi” is a life-affirming Dzi bead and can impart positive energy to its bearer. Translated, it means “Wish Dzi.” In Buddhism, the slightly S-shaped, arrow-like symbol stands for a kind of magic wand and is supposed to fulfill even the largest heart’s wish.
Yin Yang Dzi
The symbol of Yin and Yang means translated “the Supreme” or “the Ultimate.” It is not only a symbol in itself, but stands for a philosophy that has existed for ages. In Daoism, a Chinese worldview, Yin and Yang represent two opposing yet complementary forces. Yin Yang encompasses all opposing poles on earth: heaven and earth, summer and winter, light and shadow, cold and warmth, sun and moon, day and night, man and woman, etc., which are opposite to each other but cannot exist without each other, because they are in harmony and form part of a greater whole.
The color black represents darkness, rest, the feminine, while white represents brightness, i.e., the sun and warmth as well as the masculine.
The opposing energies or poles form a harmonious energy flow and should establish a balance in the bearer’s life, which can bring more balance, calm and serenity in daily life. The balancing energy should apply to all areas of life and thus improve physical and mental condition, which in turn can project onto work, love and daily life - harmony in all areas of life!
It can also relieve physical blockages and thus promote faster recovery.
Tiger Tooth Dzi
The tiger is known in Chinese mythology as a creature of great strength. Passionate, energetic, combative and extremely brave are the most telling attributes of the tiger. The Dzi bead “Tiger Tooth” is meant to empower its bearer with that same strength and fighting spirit.
The tiger knows no obstacles and is known for getting what it wants. This self-confidence, willpower and strong focus on the goal are attributes the bearer should also attain. Thus it is a good ally in the professional field, but can also help people with a lack of courage and self-confidence pursue their goals with more perseverance, determination and bite.
The “Tiger Tooth” is considered a power-creating talisman that particularly benefits people who often have to overcome obstacles and need new life courage.
Insect Dzi
The Dzi stone “Insect” is also called Dzi “Luck.” It is said that the Dzi “Insect” contributes to a long and healthy life and should protect its bearer from illness and accidents according to tradition. Similar to the Turtle Dzi, it should bring longevity to the bearer and bestow happiness upon them.
The symbol depicted on it resembles an insect with a head on both sides. The reverse side shows a bat, which here stands for blessed peace. An older variant of the Dzi “Insect” shows a spider on the reverse. The bat symbolizes contentment, good health, harmony and balance.
The Dzi is supposed to help its owner listen to their body and develop a proper understanding of health, enabling early detection of possible illnesses. It should also help develop a healthy body image and assess what the body, our most important tool of existence, needs to stay healthy in the long term. Focusing on one’s own body's needs is a fundamental function of our physical and mental abilities. Maintaining one’s physical and mental health implies a healthy and varied diet, a healthy lifestyle, and a life filled with joy and love.
Bodhi Dzi
The "Bodhi" Dzi stands for kindness, warmth, a strong sense of justice and general wisdom. It gives the bearer a generous, compassionate and forgiving heart. Wearing the “Bodhi” can help people find their rightful path for them.
“Bodhi” also denotes a revered fig tree in the history of Buddhism under which Buddha is said to have found protection and ultimately his enlightenment during meditation. Translated, “Bodhi” stands for enlightenment and wisdom and thus also describes the mental state "bodhi" in Buddhism, characterized by wisdom and perfection.
"Bodhi" helps develop virtues and abilities. It is said to be especially supportive in school, training or university and can enhance cognitive abilities, memory and transfer thinking. Especially with regard to exams it can reduce doubts and provide mental stability. It is said many people in Buddhist-influenced countries regularly visit bodhi trees to seek support in difficult life situations.
In general, "Bodhi" is also supposed to ward off bad karma and misfortune and instead attract luck. It is also said to fulfill the personal wishes of its bearer and help achieve goals and personal requirements.
My personal experiences with my own "Bodhi" can be read on my blog.
Nectar Bowl Dzi
The "Nectar Bowl" Dzi is also called the “Honey and Milk” Dzi or the “Treasure Vase,” as honey and milk were considered valuable goods and represented abundance of wealth. The Nectar Bowl stands according to tradition for absolute carefreeness, wealth in abundance and longevity. It is said to bring harmony, emotional balance and protect against dangers. The bearer should be able to lead an absolutely carefree and harmonious life, without constraints, with much love and especially health.
It is also considered a protector of family and children.
Prosperity and financial independence should also be promoted by it.
Phoenix Eye Dzi
The phoenix is known as a mystical bird with a peacock-like stature. In Chinese culture, the phoenix is called “feng huang” and is one of the four mythical beasts with magical powers.
Thus it should contribute as a lucky charm to self-discovery and is regarded as the strongest talisman in the search for oneself as well as for great love. Interpersonal relationships should continually improve and intensify. The phoenix also stands for femininity and graceful beauty and should help women feel comfortable in their skin, as it enhances attractiveness, self-confidence and radiance. The grace and majestic aura of this splendid bird thus transfers to the bearer and ensures that true love is attracted.
For existing relationships, the bead should have a strongly harmonizing and strengthening effect. A Buddhist proverb says: “Love is not looking at each other, but looking in the same direction.”
In conjunction with the 2-Eyed Dzi, it achieves its maximum effect.
Unalome Dzi
The “Unalome” is a Buddhist as well as Hindu symbol of personal freedom and the shaping of one’s own life path.
The spiral on the Dzi stands for a personal journey, a journey in life and the to oneself. The journey involves constant change, transformation and movement.
The path of this journey goes outward, into the wide world, but also inward, into the deepest interior of our soul. The path may include obstacles, stumbling blocks and general hindrances, but these are a meaningful part of self-discovery.
The spiral thus stands for mental and physical cleansing and renewal up to ultimate enlightenment.
The beginning of the spiral symbolizes birth, its progression characterizes a steady forward movement and growth in different life phases.
In many religions it is part of the mentality and nature also brings spiral fascinations to light. Both animals and plants, sea movements, our galaxy and our DNA display spiral patterns. Thus we are all part of this creation and the journey to ourselves symbolizes the essential enlightenment for a satisfied and harmonious, self-determined life.
21-Eyed Dzi
The "21-Eyed Dzi" is according to tradition the most powerful “eye” talisman and is said to maximize the energy and potential of its bearer. It is said to be particularly suitable for self-employed people and strong individuals who pursue precise visions and goals in life. It can elevate the mental strength and willpower of its bearer to the highest level to achieve set goals faster.
For self-employed people and entrepreneurs, the “21-Eyed” Dzi bead should bring financial success, continually be a source of ideas and creativity and thus improve and optimize the professional position. Anyone who sees themselves in a calling and pursues their goals with iron determination can benefit from this Dzi bead. It can empower a strong outward presence and promote quick action at all levels.
The “21-Eyed” Dzi bead should also restore and build its bearer’s vitality and physical condition and can also help with faster recovery.
In combination with the 9-Eyed Dzi, it can unleash its maximum potential.
Heaven and Earth Dzi
We all know it: everyday life grips us. Hectic pace, stress and constant tension determine our daily routine. We must realize ourselves professionally, or at least stabilize to support our families and finance a certain standard of living, pay off loans, etc.
We have a family that demands our undivided attention. We have ideas and visions we would like to realize, but put aside because the job and family demand our full commitment and enthusiasm.
But what is our balance? The hectic mood, the striving within us and the psychological burden of managing everything permanently make us exhausted, drained and, in the worst case, sick. Everyone needs a balance. More harmony and balance to meet the demands of daily life.
The "Heaven and Earth" Dzi is based on the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang. In Daoism, Yin and Yang stand for two opposing yet complementary forces that are inseparable and form a whole despite their opposites.
These contrasts are symbolized in this Dzi by the heavens and the earth, which are opposite and yet oriented toward each other and form an indispensable unity to enable life on earth and create balance.
The square on the Dzi stone stands for the earth and the circle for the sky. The opposing energies form a harmonious energy flow and should establish a balance in the bearer's life, which can bring more balance, calm and composure to all areas of life. This balancing energy should apply to all life areas and thus improve physical and mental condition, which in turn can project onto work, love and daily life - harmony in all areas of life!
It can also relieve physical blockages and thus promote faster recovery.
5 Blessings Dzi
Sometimes we need a button to simply reset everything. A restart that takes away all hurdles, worries and blockages and returns the lightness of childhood to us. Often we wish for a “reset” to lay down the bias and all negativity that weighs on us (unnecessarily) and makes our soul heavier, so as to experience more ease and joy again.
The "Five Blessings" Dzi with five bats pictured can be helpful for a restart, because it unites everything a person needs to live. Each bat stands for a specific area of life. They symbolize, according to legend, the areas of wellbeing, a long life, a steadily successful career, wealth and harmony in interpersonal relationships.
Translated from Sanskrit, the bat means “birth” and stands for a “new beginning.” This can stand for founding a company or generally as a new beginning in life. When founding a company, the Dzi should help to solidify finances, constantly gain growth with creative and fresh ideas and avert all hurdles and complications.
In a new start in life, whether by moving residence, reorientation in terms of career, or a new romance, the Dzi bead should ensure that the bearer is at peace with themselves, because every new beginning also includes a new self-perception and self-knowledge.
Bats are nocturnal animals and feel most at home in the dark. This translates to the subconscious, because this Dzi should help its bearer navigate their dreams at night and ward off nightmares. Thoughts and fears from the subconscious can be better managed and released.
Money Hook Dzi
The "Money Hook" has the task of blessing its bearer with wealth and ensuring financial ease and security. It symbolizes wealth and prosperity, paired with luck and fame, by positively favoring business and promoting the bearer’s career with regard to salary and finances.
Through financial security it should also enable investing and maintaining control over wealth to counter future existential fears.
Garuda or Bird Dzi
Garuda is a mystical bird and in many depictions is shown as a raptor with human features. According to various traditions, he is a temple guardian and protector with supernatural powers. He is worshipped as a messenger of the gods in the Asian region.
Like all birds of prey, he should chase snakes and is the only bird immune to snake venom, which is why he is described as divine and the king of all birds. As a temple guardian, his task is to ward off evil spirits and deliver divine messages.
He is regarded as protection for those who embark on longer journeys and is said to ward off accidents. In addition, according to tradition, he can protect the bearer's family.

Heaven and Earth Dzi
We all know it: everyday life grips us. Hectic pace, stress and constant tension determine our daily routine. We must realize ourselves professionally, or at least stabilize to support our families and finance a certain standard of living, pay off loans, etc.
We have a family that demands our undivided attention. We have ideas and visions we would like to realize, but put aside because the job and family demand our full commitment and enthusiasm.
But what is our balance? The hectic mood, the striving within us and the psychological burden of managing everything permanently make us exhausted, drained and, in the worst case, sick. Everyone needs a balance. More harmony and balance to meet the demands of daily life.
The "Heaven and Earth" Dzi is based on the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang. In Daoism, Yin and Yang stand for two opposing yet complementary forces that are inseparable and form a whole despite their opposites.
These contrasts are symbolized in this Dzi by the heavens and the earth, which are opposite and yet oriented toward each other and form an indispensable unity to enable life on earth and create balance.
The square on the Dzi stone stands for the earth and the circle for the sky. The opposing energies form a harmonious energy flow and should establish a balance in the bearer's life, which can bring more balance, calm and composure to all areas of life. This balancing energy should apply to all life areas and thus improve physical and mental condition, which in turn can project onto work, love and daily life - harmony in all areas of life!
It can also relieve physical blockages and thus promote faster recovery.
5 Blessings Dzi
Sometimes we need a button to simply reset everything. A restart that takes away all hurdles, worries and blockages and returns the lightness of childhood to us. Often we wish for a “reset” to lay down the bias and all negativity that weighs on us (unnecessarily) and makes our soul heavier, so as to experience more ease and joy again.
The "Five Blessings" Dzi with five bats pictured can be helpful for a restart, because it unites everything a person needs to live. Each bat stands for a specific area of life. They symbolize, according to legend, the areas of wellbeing, a long life, a steadily successful career, wealth and harmony in interpersonal relationships.
Translated from Sanskrit, the bat means “birth” and stands for a “new beginning.” This can stand for founding a company or generally as a new beginning in life. When founding a company, the Dzi should help to solidify finances, constantly gain growth with creative and fresh ideas and avert all hurdles and complications.
In a new start in life, whether by moving residence, reorientation in terms of career, or a new romance, the Dzi bead should ensure that the bearer is at peace with themselves, because every new beginning also includes a new self-perception and self-knowledge.
Bats are nocturnal animals and feel most at home in the dark. This translates to the subconscious, because this Dzi should help its bearer navigate their dreams at night and ward off nightmares. Thoughts and fears from the subconscious can be better managed and released.
Money Hook Dzi
The "Money Hook" has the task of blessing its bearer with wealth and ensuring financial ease and security. It symbolizes wealth and prosperity, paired with luck and fame, by positively favoring business and promoting the bearer’s career with regard to salary and finances.
Through financial security it should also enable investing and maintaining control over wealth to counter future existential fears.
Garuda or Bird Dzi
Garuda is a mystical bird and in many depictions is shown as a raptor with human features. According to various traditions, he is a temple guardian and protector with supernatural powers. He is worshipped as a messenger of the gods in the Asian region.
Like all birds of prey, he should chase snakes and is the only bird immune to snake venom, which is why he is described as divine and the king of all birds. As a temple guardian, his task is to ward off evil spirits and deliver divine messages.
He is regarded as protection for those who embark on longer journeys and is said to ward off accidents. In addition, according to tradition, he can protect the bearer's family.
