HISTORY: Fu Dogs--actually Guardian Lions--are sacred to Buddhism. Their "Lion's Roar" symbolizes the voice of the Teachings of Buddha resounding in all directions. Guardian Lions are the protectors of sacred buildings and are seen as emblems of valor and energy. Fu Dogs are frequently placed at the gates of temples, porticos of houses and sometimes guarding the precincts of tombs. They are also used on altars placed toward the front, one on each side. They are usually seen in male-female pairs where the male lion is represented playing with a ball which may represent the sun, the egg symbol of the dual aspects of nature, or merely a precious stone. The female lion is generally accompanied by its young.
