Ghau Amulet

Ghau Amulet

A Ghau (also spelled Gau, Gao) is a Tibetan Buddhist miniature altar, a portable protective Amulet or talisman, and a sacred box inside which other magical ingredients are stored. Most Ghauts are made of copper and bronze. The often silvered cover part of the amulet is decorated with elaborate bindings and sometimes with gemstones (turquoise & coral). Important mantras and sacred symbols are repeated as subjects of decorative compulsions. Ghau holds printed or handwritten messages blessed by the Lama. Behind the "window" separated by a piece of glass, there is also a votive (tsa tsa) made of clay or stone, a small image of Buddha or another deity, colorful fabric prayer flags, healing herbs, etc.

Symbol meaning

Ghau is believed to ward off evil spirits, negative energies and protect its wearer in many different ways. In addition, it is believed to attract good luck, money and love.

Ritual use

The Ghau amulet is often worn around the neck so that the box is close to the heart.
