It's The LVP

Featuring the Suona, 7 Dragons amalgamates familiar traditional Chinese melodies with contemporary elements, echoing the dragon's timeless intelligence, allure and adaptability. In Buddhist terms, 7 Dragons also refers to the Buddha amulet which not only has the efficacy of the Seven Dragon Buddha for protection against disasters, but can also enhance the wearer's luck, including wealth, career and health. The Dragon King, in order to protect the Buddha's meditation, not only battles with demons but also forms a colourful protective umbrella around the Buddha, helping the Buddha to inherit meditation by shielding from wind and rain.
