Dharma : Lotus Light

The Cintamani*…

fulfills any wish in concord with the Dharma,
represents the boundless power of the Dharma,
reminds us to perfect practice of the Dharma.

*Wish-fulfilling jewel

Lotus Shadow

The lotus** and its shadow…
Are we basking in the light of purity,
or still in its contrasting darkness?***

**The lotus is symbolic of purity, as it blossoms untainted by muddy waters.
*** Darkness is symbolic of the obscurity of delusion, the cause of impurity.
