The concept, which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism, features a pair of highly stylized Asiatic lions—often one male with a ball which represents the material elements and one female with a cub which represents the element of spirit— that were thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat.
