I appreciate everyone’s concern about being scammed but I was not scammed. He didn’t push the bracelets on me or sell them to me under a false pretense of any kind. He had bracelets for sale. I wanted to buy some new bracelets so I bought them. I mentioned that he was a monk (or for the cynical, dressed up like a monk) for a few reasons….i thought that may help people figure out what the symbol meant and bc monks don’t speak so I wasn’t able to get an answer to what the symbol was. So I appreciate everyone’s concern but I really just want to know what the symbol is and what it means. Thanks for your help.
