Made from genuine pure brass with polished surface, this traditional wulou has a bagua eight trigrams at its bottom surface and a chinese “chao chye coin” as its lid. It is mantra enhanced by filling its stomach with a rolling of the “Long Mantra of Medicine Buddha”. This mantra protects everyone from physical and mental sickness and other dangers and obstacle. It also helps you to eradicate the three poisons – attachment, hatred, and ignorance – which are the source of all illness and danger. The Medicine Buddha not only helps in healing but also for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. Thus the Medicine Buddha can help decrease physical and mental illness and suffering. The Medicine Buddha mantra is held to be extremely powerful for healing of physical illnesses and purification of negative karma. Anyone who is stricken by disease can seek blessings from the Medicine Buddha for curing. All in all, this wu lou is a strong diminisher against monthly ill winds and illnesses. On the other hand, there are 6 Emperor coins from the first six most powerful reign of the Ching Dynasty being tied in a”circular interlocking” method. 6 coins tied in a circular manner, with a set of 3 coins (representing the matrimony of Heaven-Earth-Man) interlocking with another set of 3 other coins to result in 6 coins in a circular mode represent the 6 senses of man. The six senses of man are love, fright, hatred, happiness, suspicion and proactiveness which is believed to govern a man’s wealth making capabilities. It is believed that by tying the 6 coins in this special manner, a man is able to harness his wealth because he is able to control his 6 senses with the power invoke through the cosmic trinity of Heaven, Earth and Man. This makes the wulou a powerful wealth magnet as well!
What Wu Lou symbolizes and how to place the object?
The Wulou (bottle gourd) originates from a fruit. When dried, it is very durable and its shape render it useful as a receptacle for medicine. In olden days, the Wulou was often carried by aged people as a charm of longevity and a charm to dissipate or ward off pernicious influences. The Wulou, like baguas and windchimes, is one of the most significant tools to cure many bad situations and to enhance good luck in Feng Shui. It is a powerful symbol of health and longevity. Many deities like the Sau Sing Kung (in 3 Lucky Stars Fuk Luk Sau), Li Tieh Kuai (in 8 Immortals) and Mad Monk God (Chai Kung) carry the Wulou with them to resemble their ability to cure difficult ailments. Some said the shape of the Wulou is also a wonderful integration of heaven, earth and mankind. Feng Shui masters often regard the Wulou as the replica of the Dui Trigram which signifies heavenly doctor. In real life, taoist monks also use the Wulou to absorb and arrest bad evil spirits into it for imprisonment. Therefore Wulou has the potency to absorb bad chi and negative energy.
Kun and Dui Trigrams in Eight Trigrams
According to Eight Trigrams philosophy, the illness star#2 is represented by the “kun trigram”. And we know that changing the first and second lines of a trigram yields the Heavenly Doctor (Tien Yi). Changing first and second lines of “kun trigram” yields “dui trigram”. And the abstract representation of the “dui trigram” is actually the shape of the calabash. The actual dried fruit has a golden yellow color which could represent metal element. Later new feng shui masters created the bronze and brass wulou because they prefer real metal energy to counter the illness star#2.

Defect rules built over time: Because they are held by tools and shaped through machining from blocks , there could be tiny tool marks or scratches visible under 30cm visual. Cast brass work experiences high heat process, gas defect, extreme shrinking and rough process steps, therefore they have “common irregularities” on their surfaces. They include blisters, bubbles, shrinkages, cavities, scratch lines, dents, tarnishes, dark spots, oxides etc. They are NOT considered as faulty and therefore are non rejectable. Despite obtaining from factories that provide high brass purity and the best in workmanship that supply only grade A pieces to us, common irregularities are still unavoidable.
