| The Conch Shell - Buddhist symbol | |
The Conch Shell symbolizes good actions because through its permeating sound it inspires the masses into good actions. Its sound awakens the masses from their ignorance and leads them into enlightenment. Since ancient times, the white conch shell that is characterized by its spiral contour to the right had been used to sound a call to action. |
