It may feature a design or image of a Buddhist deity, such as the Buddha, or a representation of a sacred symbol like the lotus flower. Typically worn as a talisman, it serves to remind the wearer of their spiritual path and offers protection. Some Buddhist lockets are also used as a form of religious devotion and are often given as gifts to friends and family members to provide spiritual support and blessings.
