【The guardian deity of the zodiac <Eight Buddha statues>】
Everyone has a "guardian deity" determined by the Chinese zodiac sign of their birth year, providing protection throughout their life. Each zodiac sign has its designated guardian deity, often referred to as the "Zodiac Guardian Deity." The tradition of worshiping one's guardian deity based on their zodiac sign is ancient and has become widespread nationwide. It is said that praying to the guardian deity of one's birth year brings peaceful days. Additionally, having items related to one's zodiac sign nearby is considered auspicious, making the Zodiac Guardian Deity an ideal talisman for good luck and protection. By spending time with the guardian deity, one can receive protection from disasters, various blessings, and the enhancement of positive traits while suppressing negative ones.
