Burning The Universe Within

Recently as I was sitting in the Buddha sculpture gallery of the Lotus, I was utterly mesmerized.

I was mesmerized by what seem like an image of the universe in the very torso of the crystal Thousand Hands Guan Yin.

I recalled watching an anime by the name of Saint Seiya. Where chosen saints of Athena fight against evil through burning their cosmos within them and the highest level of the saints are gold saints who attain the highest level of cosmos wisdom where they attain their 7th sense.

What does it have to do with you and I?

The saints begin as normal civilians in the various countries. After undergoing intense training and immense pressure, they will compete against other members to attain their sainthood- a cloth, an armor representing a certain zodiac or star in the universe.

Then they will begin their journey as Saints. In their journey, they will be faced with many choices, temptations and even deceptions to swing towards evil and forget their purpose of upholding good. And naturally, like in any superhero cartoon, the good saints will have to fight the evil ones.

When the saints collide, the one that is able to burn his or her cosmos brighter will conquer and prevail as the victor.

What does this have to do with you and I?

Just like the civilians in the story, Lotus clients are just like them, just like anyone. Because ,many who have yet to be or dare not be think that Lotus clients are like super human or are super rich or worse still super crazy. But like the ones who decide to embark on the journey towards sainthood, we too decide to take leaps of faith to acquire things that the faint hearted will never do.

However, if you take time to sit most of the clients down to understand their story, you will know that the difficult training started before they got their lotus treasure. Some even to the brink of wanting to end their lives but was given hope and things took a turn.

Purchasing a lotus treasure is like attaining your cloth, your armor, your hope. With it, it brings you better energy, better huatness, better many things. But likewise you will also be faced with temptations and deceptions i.e. arrogance, ungratefulness, thoughts of deceit etc.

Then, we have to fight.

How?

By burning your cosmos within, in other words, moving the universe within you - Activating your faith in your bigger dreams, maintaining your humility by being thankful and positive in all situations.
Then work hard, no one will see how bright you shine if you are hidden at home.

And with this combination, even if you don't fly into the sky, you will still be above the rest.

So let's be like the Saints!

Wearing our cloth- wearing our Lotus treasures
Burning our cosmos- moving the universe with you through meditating on positive goals and values
Fighting hard- working hard
Keeping the purpose of upholding good- making the world a better place with our success

And with this I leave you to move you universe within.
