The symbol

The vase is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, and vases of consecrated water or nectar are used in empowerments and blessings. A vase holds its contents safely, so its promise is of resources kept and used well.

The two throws

The Vase of Nectar comes up when the first throw of the die shows PA (water) and the second shows A (space).

པ
First: PA · Water

PA is the syllable of water. It soothes, nourishes and heals, and it carries feeling and enjoyment. Disturbed, water turns murky; dried up, it leaves nothing behind.

ཨ
Second: A · Space

A is the first sound of every alphabet and the syllable of open space. It stands for what is wide, clear and not yet filled: room to move, a fresh start, nothing in the way.
