Seven Jewels Logo

When Zhaxi Zhuoma, the founder of the Learning from Buddha College and Seminary (LFBCS), asked Dorje Chang Buddha III how she should propagate the Buddha Dharma that she was learning, she received in a dream a most vivid image of a red sun holding seven brightly colored jewels on top of a yellow crescent moon that was floating on fluffy white dharma clouds. Her guru explained the image to her that the sun and moon are often used in Buddhist images to represent the dharmakaya or the primordial Adharma Buddha–the original formless Buddha. The jewels represent what one gains or experiences from learning from the Buddhas: The Red Jewel of Good Fortune, the Orange Jewel of Holy Manifestations or Miracles, the Yellow Jewel of the Five Vidyas, the Green Jewel of Wisdom, the Aqua Jewel of Compassion, the Blue Jewel of Sainthood, and the Purple Jewel of Enlightenment itself. The Learning from Buddha College and Seminary was established to help living beings realize all of these jewels. The image of these seven jewels became the logo for the Xuanfa Institute and the LFBCS.
