The symbol

Mount Meru, the golden mountain at the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology, is the image of steadiness. Meditators are taught to sit like a mountain, unmoved by the weather around them.

The two throws

The Golden Mountain comes up when the first throw of the die shows NA (earth) and the second shows A (space).

ན
First: NA · Earth

NA is the syllable of earth. It stands for what is solid and lasting: land, home, property, the body and slow, steady increase.

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.
