Item: Chart

Protection Chart: containing various auspicious elements.

At the top are the Five Transcendent Enlightened Ones, below that, in a row, are the consonants of the tibetan alphabet. Placed centrally is the trunk of a tree having sprung from the mouth of a yellow spotted frog, his back adorned with a magic square. From the mouth, rising upward, a yellow and black naga twists around the trunk and at the top with a human upper torso, arms and head pays reverence to a red coloured Garuda (king of birds) standing on a lotus. The orange letters A, NGA and PA adorn the tree.

At the left side is a row of thirteen arrows with the tips facing downward. At the right side are thirteen spears facing upward. At the four corners are the four Bon animals of the directions, a snow lion, dragon, yak and tiger. Numerous symbols and figures fill the fore and background along with the letters representing the five elements, body, speech, mind and the like.
