The Alarm Staff is not a weapon.
Instead it is a staff with rounded loops at the top with jingling rings that symbolizes peace, harmony and respect for all living realms. Its jingling rings are said to produce hyms that creates awareness. It is one of the eighteen treasures of Buddhism.
One can also consider it as a symbol of goodwill, compassion and care. It sends out the message of how precious every living creature is and none should be sacrificed.
It is normally carried by high practising buddhist monks (close to sainthood) to clear the pathway and warn small creatures (such as creeping life like ants) to make way so that they will not be stepped and killed. In ancient Sanskrit, it is called the "Khakhara" or "Hikile".
This staff reminds those practising Buddhism to abstain from killing. This keychain is recommended for those who are seeking for peace, harmony, safety and good karma. It can also be used to help those who are frequently involved in undesired quarrels.
Price : $10 (inclusive of normal local postage)
