The auspicious symbol of The 2 Golden Fish in Buddhism symbolizes happiness, fertility, abundance and all living things in a state of fearlessness. Some suggest that the idea behind this is that fish swim freely through the ocean with no fear of drowning. The origins of it can be traced back to a symbol of the Yamuna and Ganges rivers in India, the two main sacred water ways that are revered by followers of Hinduism, the oldest of the main eastern religions.
