Brilliant Light of a thousand suns - Part 2 万岁灯 天莲 Thursday, December 25, 2008
What better way to celebrate Christmas than to present another one of Supreme Master Ching Hai's heavenly design - the longevity lamp named Heaven Lotus.This lamp belongs to the standing lamp series, and features an already open lotus rising out from the mud of samsara, pure and unadulterated with its brilliant thousand rays of sunlight.
The lamp is made of bamboo material and is a joy to behold. At the center a bright light lite by a round bulb, with many smaller colored lights surrounding the main light. There is a small pull string which enables you to switch on the main light only or with the accompanying mult-colored lights.
The design is simple, pure, elegant and joyful. Just like the lotus flower, we should aspire to return to our heavenly abode by developing our spiritual self until it flowers like a heaven lotus.
The 5 petals open out beautifully in a warm welcome to the spiritual seeker signifying its exalted state of consciousness.
