The origin of Ophthalmic Stone can be traced back to 3000 BC to 1500 BC, the Aryan country in ancient India. At that time, people prayed for the protection of God and Buddha, so dzi beads were created. At that time, people used ancient documents to draw symbols and patterns such as spells and totems recorded in the book (that is, various patterns on dzi beads now) on stones to achieve the benefit of enhancing spiritual (soul) consciousness. According to the Vedas, in ancient times, due to the influence of geographical environment and natural disasters, the heart of asking God for help naturally arose, and the "dzi beads" came into being. At the same time, various drugs were infiltrated to treat diseases, and the totem concept of witchcraft spells was painted on stones to obtain the blessing and protection of Buddha.

The representative record of worshipping Buddha with an eye stone is that when Princess Wencheng married Tubo Zambu in the 15th year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong (AD 64 1 year), she brought a Buddha statue from India as a dowry. Finally, this Buddha statue is located in the Sakyamuni Buddha Hall of Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet. This Buddha statue is made of 100 kinds of dzi beads used by Tibetans, including three dzi beads with nine eyes, three dzi beads with three eyes and two dzi beads with two eyes. At present, this Buddha statue is enshrined in the Sakyamuni Hall of Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.
