| The Victory Banner - Buddhist Symbol | |
The Victory Banner is a representation of the victory of the Buddha over the four Maras. The four Maras represented the fear of death, disturbing emotions, aggravation, and seduction. The Victory Banner was gifted to the Buddha after he conquered the four Maras. In a deeper sense, it represents the triumph of wisdom over ignorance. The old legend says that after triumphing over the four Maras, the Buddha raised the banner of victory at Mt. Meru to signal his victory over all the obstacles to enlightenment. |
