Lotus on Water, and the Will of the Heavens

For the ancients, and for Chinese at large, the matter of having the approval of Heavens has always been an important one. 得不得天道. It's a matter of whether a decision is correct, it's a matter of whether a King has the right to rule.

A testament of whether a King has the 天道, is to see whether he has 民心, the heart of the people. And a way to observe where the hearts of the people are, is to see where the 神器、法器、礼器——国之重器 are gathered. For instance, when Shang Dynasty 商朝 conquered Xia 夏, the symbols of kingship and the right to rule inherited from the Heavens, the 9 Cauldrons 九鼎, were moved to the new capital.

It can be no coincidence that in our times, we see an ever growing number of precious artifacts representing a high order of culture, taste, power and spirituality, gathering at Lotus on Water.

The "First Blade Under the Heavens 天下第一刀", used at Beijing's Tiananmen Square on 1st July 2021, to commemorate 100 years of the ruling Chinese Communist Party. Three were used that very day, one is with the Lotus gallery.

A highest and most royal order of arts in Southeast Asia in modern history, Her Royal Highness Princess Norodom Buppha Devi, She gave Master Yun Her Apsara Crown before Her passing.

The magnum Blanc de Blancs of Maison Champagne Laurent-Perrier, one of most prestigious and still family-owned champagne houses, is with Lotus on Water. There are only three in Asia, and the only one in Singapore is with us.

The set of 54 seals of the "Heart Sutra 心经", carved by 晋欧老师, the most leading figure of Chinese art in Japan, a member of the very exclusive Xiling Seal Art Society 西泠印社, somehow found its way across the oceans, is with Master Yun and Lotus on Water.

We are where the Will of the Heavens 天道 points to. And where the 天道 is, the 旺气 will be.

And with the Heart Sutra seals, Master Yun shall be unlocking the universes of prosperity, into our blessed collections, and lives.
