The well-known happy flower in Tibet, also called "Gesang Meiduo" in Chinese, is said to be the incarnation of the Kelsang Rin-po-che and can bring good luck and hope to people who sees it.

The Chinese word "Gesang Meiduo" was translated from the Tibetan language "skal-bzang me-tog", in which "Gesang" means happiness and "Meiduo" means flower. The "Gesang Meiduo" is a kind of common flower growing on highland areas with altitudes of about 5000 m.

The message with the happy flower is "the one in front of you is far better than your dream girl". It is the symbol of love and happiness and an everlasting pursuit of all the Tibetan people. And thus it is believed that he who finds a happy flower with eight petals finds his life-time happiness.
