旺财馆与你绘出华丽的富贵

传统山水画我们见得多，其中有名家的作品，但更多的却出自非名家之手。云龙子大师的画风有别于这些画家，在传统山水画家中可说是独树一帜。

自云大师的画作在旺财馆九周年庆典首次亮相后，至今已经售出不少，旺财馆还不定时展出新作品。但云大师的画作到底有什么特别之处，我们又为何应该拥有？

首先，云大师的画作就跟旺财馆一样与众不同。山水画大多以黑白为色，但云大师却选择以丰富的颜色让画作更写实更有生命力，以此提醒我们每天都要过得多姿多彩，让世界变得更美好。

其次，云大师的画作用色大胆、鲜艳，这就好像我们旺财馆的客人一样，勇于开拓新领域，为自己创造人生一个又一个的高峰。

第三，云大师的作品常见牡丹花；牡丹以其优美而被誉为花中之王。旺财馆的风水宝贝与中国历代帝王所使用的相同，而拥有这些宝贝便意味着我们将跟王族一样掌握实权，还能过上富贵的日子。

此外，牡丹的枝叶和叶脉都以金色绘制，象征我们都是金枝玉叶出身，可以过上帝王般的生活。

大师的每一幅画作都有其象征阴和阳的部分，这是确保风水中的阴阳不断运转，为我们带来更丰厚的财富。

每一幅作品都在云大师冥想时完成，将它们悬挂在家中或办公室里就是把大师接触天运的能量请到室内，提升我们居家和办公室的风水。

Taking The First Step

Recently I have been in the gallery a little more often and have been fortunate to speak with several new clients and sharing with several yet to be customers.

I have come to realise the importance of taking the first step. Whether is it a project, a weight loss program, a new business etc, it all starts with the first step.

Is it always easy to take the first step? NEVER!!

We all know this, easy to think and plan on the paper but going out there to fight a war is always a different ball game. But let me tell you one difference here, once you have taken your first step, then your life will go into a change.

My life has changed since the first step I took with the Lotus, so have many others, especially those who continue to grow and trust in the Lotus. Was it easy and luxurious for everyone? Definitely No.

Its painful, especially when you know you are already needing in finance and you have to spend more of it, however, this is different. Because we are not relying simply on the simple understandings we have but on a greater force and energy that can bring us to beyond where we are.

As I saw how the sunlight shone through my ring today, I know that being here is right because I know that the light of the Heavens will continue to shine over me and bring me and everyone with the Lotus to greater heights especially after we cross into the 11th Year!

For you who still have some fear and doubt, well, until you overcome and take the first step, you will not understand how we went through it.

You are not alone!

The Meaning of 10th Anniversary

And so, after the grand celebration on 26 June 2016, it's LOTUS10. For me, and I can feel that for a lot of my blessed clients: this is not just another birthday celebration.

Other than the fact that we had the highest number of new collections blessed on that very day, I believe it is what that happens after that shall be truly remarkable. The lion and dragon dance of 26 June ushered in the new phase of the Lotus. From a single-digit birthday to double-digit, I see it as a breakthrough. The Lotus has proved the righteous but seemingly impossible can be and should be done. The Lotus has conquered doubts, imitations and goliaths, and emerged victorious.

I believe my blessed clients feel as I do. A breakthrough. I see many renewing their faith with the Lotus with a breakthrough in their newest collections after the birthday party. After 10 years of striding forward, time for the next big step. Yes, it's time for the next phase.

Together, let's double those digits.

Why isn’t it “Double Tiger” or “Double Fish” Ring?

I am sure you know that the third generation Heaven and Earth ring—Double Dragon jadeite ring—has two gold dragons facing the dragon pearl, warding off your malefactors and prospering your wealth and benefactor luck!

But why double dragon, and not dragon phoenix or double fish…

Well, it’s because the dragon is a majestic creature, mysterious and sacred. It’s also a symbol of good fortune as it has power over weather, and the ability to unleash disasters or prevent misfortunes.

But more importantly, the dragon is a totem worshipped by the Chinese. This totem traces its history to over eight thousand years ago when Yellow Emperor (黄帝) defeated Yan Di (炎帝) and Chi You (蚕尤). Following his victory, Yellow Emperor “assembled the jade tablets of the feudal princes on mount Fu”, unified military’s commander’s seal, forged political alliance, and combined all positive elements of various tribes’ animals and created—The Dragon.

This dragon is the combination of nine animals: an eye each from tiger and leopard, deer’s antlers, ox’s nose, camel’s head, silkworm’s abdomen, tiger’s palm, eagle’s claws, fish’s scales and snake’s body.

The dragon’s full and wider forehead symbolises intelligence and wisdom.

Its long antlers symbolise the perpetuity of the country.  

The tiger’s and leopard’s eyes symbolise dignity and solemnity.

The flame on its legs symbolises its ability to ward off evil.

Its fangs symbolise its sanctity.

The eagle’s claws symbolise bravery and tenacity.

The ox’s nose symbolises wealth.

The fish’s tail symbolises flexibility.

While the snake body completes the magnificent, vigorous and powerful dragon.

If a dragon combines so many animals and their quintessence, imagine having two of them, and with them right in your hands…

This is THE POWER of Double Dragon jadeite ring.

For You Who Are Still Outside Our Door, This Is For You

In these few weeks after the 10th anniversary celebration, we continued the celebration. Other than celebrating the dawn of LOTUS10 -- a new phase, we also celebrated (and ongoingly so!) the success, progress and breakthrough of our blessed clients.

Your faithful commitment has yielded small and big rewards. Looking back, we all began with the Lotus differently, and prospered in our very own way, realizing our best potential, and beyond.

We still have tons of great news and joy to share with you -- this, I seek your patience. We are running around the clock!

And I know this: there are many, many, MANY of you who are still spectators to the happiness of blessed Lotus clients.

For months, even for years, you have been looking on, clicking the beautiful pictures of Lotus collections -- the Double Dragon jadeite ring especially 😉 -- on your Facebook newsfeed, reading the accounts written by our blessed clients...or you might have even sent an enquiry, tiptoeing into the vast halls of prosperity and elegance, or been here in person, absorbed by the grandeur of our celebrations and the zealousness of our people.

But you look on. You held back your first leap of faith...I know, I know, it can be daunting. This is after all a matter of your future and fortune, and when it is with the Lotus, it's never about spare change or that couple of thousands of dollars. I believe our lives, and the people who rely on us, are worth more than that. They are worth more than cheapskate gimmicks and imitations. They are worth the very best. 

You are worth the very best.

And despite the daunting leap, we see new individuals take courage and join the Lotus family daily. Some come to us and say: I have been browsing at the Lotus Facebook for the past 4 years; some would say: I have seen your galleries grown from one to four...

There are certain regrets, which is also the bad news: you missed the first 10 years -- which, only makes the good news sweeter, and more urgent: you are in for the next 10, and there is no time to waste.

I invite you to do the same. There is never a right-right time. The right time is always now. I invite you to take solid action, join the HUAT family, prosper yourself.

And the next 10, shall be yours.
