Wish-granting jewel

wish-granting jewel
[如意宝珠] (Skt, Pali chintamani; Jpn nyoi-hoju )

    A jewel said to have the power to produce whatever one desires. It symbolizes the virtue and power of the Buddha and the Buddhist scriptures. The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom states that this jewel can be obtained from the head of a dragon king, and another reference in the same work describes it as a transmutation of the Buddha's relics. According to the Ocean of Meditation on the Buddha Sutra, it is a transmutation of the heart of the giant garuda bird, while the Storehouse of Various Treasures Sutra says it is found in the head of the great fish called makara.
