Buddhist Symbology Part 5

Treasure Vase

What could be more valuable than the teachings of Buddha?  The treasure vase represents this wonderful, inexhaustible treasure.  The vase in this situation is a round pot, with a long neck and a jewel on top.

There is a tradition in India of burying treasure in these vases, but the treasure in this vase is limitless.
