Meaning in Buddhism
The Tibetan Infinity Knot signifies the attainment of Immeasurable Virtues and the Five Kinds of Primordial Wisdom.
Also, one of its root meanings is “twelve interdependent causes of samsara:
- Ignorance of one’s true nature and the root nature of the surrounding world, ignorance of the four noble truths and self-centeredness, which gives rise to:
- Samskaras are formative factors, impressions that consist of the karma of past lives, that is, actions. Formative factors determine the occurrence of:
- Consciousness - perception of signals from sensory receptors; here we mean “individual reborn consciousness” with the seeds of aspirations in the form of habitual karmic behaviors. Consciousness descends into the mother's womb, where the formation begins:
- Nama-rupa - the totality of the psyche and body, formed from five skandhas, such as:
- rupa—material sheath, body with five sense organs;
- vedana - reactions arising from the contact of the mind with the perception of the five senses;
- Sanjna - understanding, representing, analyzing information from the five senses and forming concepts;
- Samskara - formative factors, inclinations, will, experience, habits and impressions that shape the appropriate way of life;
- vijnana - concentration on one object of perception from the five senses, more in-depth control of attention.
Nama-rupas in turn form:
- Six spheres of knowledge: the spheres of seeing, smelling, touching, hearing, tasting and recognizing the mind; this generates:
- Contact of the spheres with the senses (the sphere of the audible with hearing, the sphere of the visible with vision, the sphere of the tangible with touch, the sphere of smell with smell, the sphere of taste with taste, the sphere of the perceived mind with manas). Contact gives rise to:
- Pleasant, unpleasant and neutral sensations, resulting in:
- Thirst or craving that gives rise to:
- Appropriation (attachment) or clinging as an attempt to hold on to objects of thoughts and feelings. Attachment is a key element of the chain, and if it is removed, the system can be destroyed: if attachment ceases, then the possibility of existence ends.
- Existence is the possibility of rebirth in different worlds, in different bodies. Existence (becoming) leads to:
- Birth is a phenomenon associated with the emergence of vijnana, nama-rupa and the six spheres of knowledge. Birth inevitably entails:
- Old age and death.
Infinite Luck Knot. Magic knots Feng Shui
Application of the Chinese knot in clothing
According to the teachings of Feng Shui, everything in the world is determined by the harmony of 5 elements: Fire, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth. Their interaction gives rise to a certain influence of Qi energy on people, objects and events. And knots are perfect for attracting this positive energy.
On the one hand, the nodes are harmonious, do not have sharp corners, and do not have an aggressive nature. On the other hand, they are distinguished by their individuality, which makes them universal for every sector. You can use any rope for knitting. The main thing is that it is original and beautiful in texture. If you take a tow that is not combed or twisted, you can get the most interesting knots.
There is a mystical knot in Feng Shui that increases luck, health, wealth, success in relationships and various areas of life. Symbolizes longevity, resistance to disease, guarantees a strong marriage. Can protect against hostility, prevent financial losses. It is an endless cycle in which there is neither beginning nor end. You can carry it with you on your clothes. We’ll talk in more detail about the mystical knot, its application and the method of knitting a little further, but for now let’s return to knots in the general sense of the word.
Knots that are tied from hand-twisted rope look great. Sesal (palm fibers) is perfect for this. The result is a very interesting weaving structure, uneven, not smoothed, like an ancient flow of Qi, and, as you know, like tends to like.
The uniqueness of the knots used in Feng Shui is a prerequisite. They should vary in size, density, method of knitting or even weaving. Interestingly, it is almost impossible to “tie” a real knot in Feng Shui. We have to resort to various weaving techniques. As the knot is made, you can apply decorations, but without frills. Otherwise, a situation will arise when simplicity is replaced by sophistication, and this is wrong from the point of view of Feng Shui.
Each node is created with a specific intent. When weaving, it is necessary to clearly formulate what it is weaving for, and keep this thought throughout the entire work. After this, it can be placed in a specific sector corresponding to the target. If our intention was related to a career, we use the sector of the same name. Wealth to wealth, family to family and so on.
In addition, you can knit knots to wear on clothes as amulets, amulets of good luck and for other purposes. You can even disguise it by placing such a knot between other simple ties on your clothing, bag, shoes or backpack. Easily transform it into a piece of jewelry such as a pendant, necklace, or bracelet on your arms or legs. Originality is very important, it attracts prying eyes, and this leads to the activation of the amulet, which makes its effect more pronounced. You can use a double knot in Feng Shui, a ball, a Mystical knot, etc., which looks especially good on clothes. There are a lot of options. Let's figure out exactly how knots are woven. And let's do this using the mystical example.
Where and how to place the Mystic Node
First, decide what you want, what goals, desires, dreams you want to fulfill first. If you don’t yet know what you want, then you can hang the Mystic Knot anywhere, the talisman will simply harmonize the space. Well, if you know what you want, then hang talismans depending on your desires. And additions to the mystical knot can be made of different materials, for example: metal or stone, plastic or glass. If your desire is money, wealth, increasing your standard of living, then the sector: Wealth, Helpers, Glory, Career and Wisdom. But here are the elements in addition to the Mystical Knot that these sectors should have: a Chinese coin or 9 coins, figures of a Money Toad, Hottei, a gold bar, hieroglyphs of “Glory”, “Money”, “Wealth”, “Abundance”, etc. Yours the desire to succeed at work, in business, creativity, or you want to become famous, hang the Mystic Knot in these sectors of Career, Fame, Assistants and of course Wealth. Additions to the mystical knot: figures of a galloping horse (preferably upward), Hottei, Ganesha, Dragon or Phoenix, 9 or 8 Chinese coins connected to each other, hieroglyphs “Career”, “Glory”, “Prosperity”, “Business”. If your desire is: to find your love, start a family, have children, improve your health, the sectors you need are “Love and Marriage”, “Family”, “Children”, Helpers” and “Health”. Additions to the mystical knot in these sectors: figurines of a pair of mandarin ducks, hearts, a pair of doves or cranes, a phoenix bird or the goddess Lakshmi. And naturally, when you stir your beneficial Mystic Knot, be sure to think about your desire or dream. But the main thing is to awaken your creativity, be bolder, fantasize and perhaps make a wonderful talisman of good luck, happiness, abundance with your own hands, but more on that a little later.
