The conch in Buddhist artifacts can be divided into left-handed and right-handed. This screw has a counterclockwise spiral pattern on the outside and should be a right spiral screw. In addition to the same meanings as “preaching Buddhism, causing those who hear the sound to expel demons, and eliminating various sin barriers”, left and right spiral snails are also considered as symbols of “auspicious longevity.”. In addition, right handed snails are also considered as “calm wind beads”, which can calm the rivers and seas and protect the safety of those who cross the rivers and seas. It is said that only after the five cycles of life and death can a sea snail become a right spiral snail. It can be seen that the right spiral snail is rare and precious
Emperor Qianlong specially inscribed a poem on the right hand spiral of the white spiral:
The right hand spiral of the white spiral is the supreme treasure, and the Sanskrit sound is generally characterized by triple multiplication
If the Sanskrit sound is heard, the group knows that there is no limit to being blessed
Another piece of Royal Praise:
Luo Duo is left-handed, with a rare right-handed hand
Which one is born of the sea, but can come from the sky
Therefore, it is a voluminous and standard work

The sound is embodied in silence, and the three factors are brought together.
