Meaning of the Nine-Character Mantra

• Struck Wood: It embodies the ultimate Yang energy of heavenly thunder, expelling evil and warding off malevolence, making it one of the strongest materials for dispelling evil.

• Nine-Character Mantra: Struck wood wards off evil and protects the body, while the Nine-Character Mantra calms the mind and spirit, symbolizing "immunity to evil and smooth sailing in all endeavors."

Wearing and Maintenance Precautions

1. Strictly avoid water: Struck wood is prone to cracking when exposed to water, and it is traditionally believed that "thunder energy" will be washed away by water. Be sure to remove it when bathing or swimming.

2. Avoid others touching it: After wearing it for a long time, it will "recognize its owner," and others touching it will "disrupt its magnetic field." It is not suitable for lending or gifting.

3. Wear on the left hand: It is generally recommended to wear it on the left hand (left in, right out), which signifies receiving good fortune.

4. Remove on specific occasions: Remove it when sleeping or during marital relations, and place it in a clean spot as a sign of respect.

5. Regular maintenance: Simply wipe it gently with a clean, soft cloth. If the wood appears dry, you can occasionally rub it lightly with a small amount of olive oil.
