Hoshi-No-Tama
Mani, the Sacred Jewel (Shansi in Chinese; Shinshi in Japanese) is that one of the Sapta Rapta (Seven Treasures) which is the emblematic symbol of the Buddha and his doctrine.

Had I known of it, some modification in the treatment of my thesis would have been necessary. This new material, however, does not stultify the general trend…
