13 Lotus Collections Above S$200,000 That You Should Own

Lotus on Water 13th anniversary is here, so "13" is the magical number. Lotus on Water is built on standards and amazing taste. So here's 13 Lotus collections that are above S$200,000 that you should aim to own.

1. "Into Dreams of Celebrations 进入庆乡" -- Master Yun's early painting featured on La Cuvée

 

In terms of art history, this painting has significant value. It is one of Master Yun's very early attempts in using layers of real gold and silver, and luminous paints. Master Yun's later works evolved from here.

 

Plus, it is the chosen one featured on Laurent-Perrier's La Cuvée label.

 

Price: S$326,868

2. 108 full-sinking agarwood beads, 8mm

 

Strictly speaking, this is only above 200k SGD after GST. But the 108 full-sinking agarwood beads (8mm) is a priceless, powerful and rare artifact. Nearly the best you can buy in the agarwood category, nearly the highest form of yang energy.

 

In the 13 years of Lotus on Water history, we have had less than 13 strings. Now, only 2 strings are still available.

Master Yun wears 2 strings of 108 full-sinking agarwood beads. And he shares why you should do so too.

Price: S$198,868

3. "Peacocks of Royal Prosperity 皇发孔雀" -- Duo-peacock, tri-crystal mountain 

 

You can find peacocks on Master Yun's fengshui paintings. Peacocks represent prosperity and elegance. You can also find peacocks on some Lotus crystal mountains. Like this one: two peacocks, carved on the natural combination of clear quartz, smoky quartz and citrine.

And you are right, there's golden rutile growing in the mountain. Just look at how prosperous this is.

Price: S$286,868

4. Thousand Hands Guan Yin crystal, series

 

We all know the affinity between Master Yun and the Thousand Hands Guan Yin. Other than the auspicious jadeite and sandalwood Thousand Hands Guan Yin pendants, Lotus on Water also has some (but limited) crystal versions.

 

Each artifact held by Guan Yin represents one form of prosperity and blessing. Know what you are looking for, and see which crystal Thousand Hands Guan Yin suits you better.

Price: S$238,868 onwards

5. Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring

 

Yes, you can own a Heaven and Earth jadeite ring from 30k SGD onwards. You also have the chance to own one that is more than 200k SGD -- the jadeite cabochon hugely determines the price and power.

 

If you choose one that is high in quality and clarity, and of a considerable size (carat), then congratulations, you have yourself a most magnificent wealth-prospering Lotus Ring.

Price: depending on choice of jadeite cabochon

6. Master Yun's eagle painting series

 

Master Yun paints peacocks. Master Yun also paints eagles, but rarely. In the first series of Master Yun's fengshui paintings (the ION series), there were 3 eagle paintings. Eagle means to soar, to be heroic, to be victorious.

If you are a collector of Master Yun's art, then the rare eagle is a series that you should own.

Price: S$686,868

Of course, Lotus on Water houses some of the best jadeite of our times. For the next 5 collections, we look at a selected exquisite jadeite from each element.

7. "禄业青果 Rising Career, Prosperous Harvest" -- FIRE

 

If you find this piece of "spring brings colors (wealth) 春带彩" familiar, you might have seen it featured on International Gems Society (IGS)'s "Jade Buying Guide".

Luxurious lavender jadeite carved as a heavenly peach, with mouth-watering green jadeite as the stalk and stem. Truly an exquisite piece made in heavens, manifested by human will.

Price: S$363,868

8. "大业游龙红翡冰心 Grand Empire with Young Dragon, red jadeite in ice quality" -- EARTH

 

Another duo-color/element exquisite piece, featured on some very old publications (the other pieces are sold).

Common question: is this stick-on?

NO! One piece, the reddish jadeite is carved as a thick leaf, with a yellowish jadeite young dragon on it. It means a large empire, and with much more room to expand.

Price: S$383,868

9. "龙吐珠 Dragon Offering Pearl" -- METAL

Dragons are a favorite. And if you can use the METAL element, this is your best dragon. It resembles a meandering river, the cradle of life and civilizations, with the sun represented by a pearl on the very top.

Price: S$238,638

10. "水月宝瓶观世音
Guan Yin Guardian Contemplating Moon in Waters" -- WATER

 

Blue is the rarest color for jadeite. Fortunately for you, Lotus on Water starts from the source and has harvested exquisite blue jadeite pieces all these years. Like this blue jadeite Guan Yin.

Aptly carved as the Guan Yin with the moon over the waters (水月观音), the specks of inclusions are like stars of the universe -- while you cannot own the universe, you now have the access to its blessings.

Price: S$268,868

11. "寿而喜，帝皇翠 Happiness and Longevity, imperial jadeite" -- WOOD

 
The epitome of green jadeite is imperial jadeite. It has to be wholly green and of the glass quality. There are various pieces of imperial jadeite in the Lotus VIP gallery, here's one that's just slightly above 200k SGD.

What's so significant about peaches? Why are so many exquisite jadeite carved as peaches? Better speak to your Lotus advisor for the answer. And if you can use the WOOD element, this imperial jadeite peach is the one for you.

Price: S$238,688

12. "Golden Blooms from Vermilion Mind 丹生万金" -- Fengshui painting, crane

 

Yes, Master Yun also paints cranes. The significance of this particular crane painting, is that it is one of the five chosen to be featured on Lotus on Water red packets.

 

The others are either sold or are on the Europe trip. The crane painting is still in the Lotus gallery.

Crane means status and longevity. Having wealth is important. Having the longevity to enjoy it, that is also important.

Price: S$326,868

13. Qinan 奇楠

 

The crème de la crème of agarwood. 108 full-sinking agarwood beads is powerful, you should have it. You should have the Qinan.

Now, Qinan is too rare to be carved into a string of beads. Its power is concentrated in a pendant. And take note: not everyone can buy Qinan. Master Yun must decide whether the person has affinity, or not.

Price: S$338,868 (most expensive piece available; current available begins from S$108,868)

So, which do you have? Which are you going to own?

THREE Collections You MUST Have If You Are In Sales

If you are doing sales, there are THREE kinds of Lotus collections that you MUST have.

 

The Lotus jadeite pendant, Lotus agarwood, and the Heaven and Earth jadeite ring.

 

The prosperous trio.

 

Your Lotus jadeite pendant expands your heart's wishes. It is also the foundation.

 

Your Lotus agarwood attracts benefactors (big clients) to you, boosts your direct wealth (your business and sales), and converts obstacles into opportunities. It can be agarwood pendant, or 108 beads. The more the merrier.

 

Your Heaven and Earth jadeite rings help you to capture your opportunities. The more Lotus Rings you have, the more prosperous your sales shall be.

If you equip yourself with all three at one go, great for you. If not, get started with one, huat more, work your way up.

RECAP(1): Why Agarwood and Mountain Matter in 2019

 

Despite having 2 timings for one session, I was still greeted by an overwhelming and passionate crowd on both days for my Annual Fengshui Talk. What a weekend.

For my first session, I covered 3 annual flying stars for next year (2019, 己亥年 Earth-Pig year). 2 of them are most terrible stars, Five Yellow 五黄 and Two Black 二黑, which brings disasters/mishaps/accidents and illness/depression/delays/confusions respectively.

In short, they are just terrible. And should be warded off at all costs.

 

The solutions are direct. For the Five Yellow spot, place 9 big bronze coins 大铜钱. The ones from Lotus on Water of course, solid bronze. For the Two Black spot, place 4 Pu'er Tea Hulus 老树生普葫芦九帝钱. Specially created by Master Yun, at about 600grams each.

 

There is really no compromise when it comes to these 2 evil spots.

And if you are familiar with the philosophy of Lotus on Water, the way we see, believe, and do things, you would know that's not the end of the story. Defense alone is not enough. Defense alone, is just losing ground slower.

Take a more assertive and positive stance. And so we have the 3rd annual flying star for 2019, the Eight White star, which brings direct wealth, and is smacked right in between Five Yellow and Two Black.

 

The solutions to boost this spot for direct wealth are also consistent. You can either light Five Paths of Wealth Incense, or/and hang a piece/string of agarwood there.

 

Agarwood has the ability to absorb obstacles and convert them into opportunities. In 2019, having agarwood in the sector of the Eight White star prospers your direct wealth, yes, it also helps you to convert intruding negative energies of illness and disasters.

 

When you take care of these 3 annual flying stars in 2019, you are taking both offensive and defensive positions.

An alternative, would be to place your crystal mountain. Crystal mountains are about the big cycle of fengshui of your house, and they take care of health, relationships, benefactors. You don't want to just not be ill, you also want to have good health and relationships.

 

Still, as to how heavily these annual stars affect your home and office, we have to go through one-to-one. If you haven't made your appointment for your annual review, it's about time!

LAST MONTH of 2018, Here's Imparting 3 Steps To HUAT

2018 is coming to a end...have you achieved your resolutions for this year??

One more month till the end of 2018, and here are 3 STEPS to HUAT for the last and very important month:

1. Wear your Lotus jadeite pendant daily.

 

When every single day matters, you need all the boost you can get. Extra energy from the universe, better attract it with your personal Lotus jadeite pendant. Even better, your Lotus jadeite Ring.  Here's how to get started: https://bit.ly/2Qlfvoj

 

2. Charge your Lotus jadeite on your Lotus crystal mountain.

Look, if you charge your phone every other moment, don't even dare to roll your eyes when I tell you to charge your Lotus jadeite. Your phone is of course very important. So is your Lotus jadeite. Your Lotus jadeite makes a difference to your future and fortune. 

 

No Lotus crystal mountain at home? Better get one.

Can't make it in time? Make sure you find the chance to charge it at the gallery as much as possible.

 

3. Meditate. Keep up your meditation.

So what do you do with your charged Lotus jadeite? You better meditate with it. You can call it "visualization", "meditation", "communication", whatever, just do it. Wear your Lotus jadeite, and especially during the moments when you wake up, and about to fall asleep, imagine what you want. Literally see what you want, see the moment when you have achieved it. And feel the bliss.

The issue with meditation, is the discipline. You got to keep doing it. You got to make it into a habit. You do it for a week, and you expect the sky? Very optimistic, but not very metaphysically logical. Take it like going to gym, going on a diet. You just got to keep to it. Until it is part of you.

Because Both Your YIN And YANG Should Be As Strong As The Core

Some friends who have been following my episodes (thank you very much!), have paid very close attention to my hands. I thought it was because I have beautiful hands, but it turns out that the attention was totally and just on the Lotus collections, on my hands. Oh well. So much so that if I left my Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite rings to charge at that mega Lotus crystal incense pot, they would question where are my Lotus Rings.

Likewise for my 108 agarwood beads. Sometime I leave it to charge on a crystal or the Lotus Imperial White Inkstone.

So don't worry when you don't see them with me, they are just somewhere, recharging.

It is actually pretty important to charge and recharge these 2 Lotus collections -- your Lotus Rings, and your 108 agarwood beads. Once in a while, at least. Because they both share a common characteristic, which makes them very charge-worthy.

Let's start with something that we are more familiar with. Here's what we know about the Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring:

The first Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring was created by Master Yun Long Zi in 2006. In the very same year that the first Lotus gallery was founded. Also by Master Yun.

Who owned the first Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring? Master Yun himself of course. It's a classy one. Dark jadeite cabochon on dark nephrite earth ring. 18k yellow gold. He is still wearing this very first Lotus Ring now.

There was only one type, or one generation, of Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring back then. This whole favorite of all times started with this first generation, the Meeting of Heaven and Earth. Simply put, heavenly jadeite cabochon (the top piece), combines with the earthly jade ring (the bottom round ring). What's lacking? Human will. So it will be heaven, earth and human's willpower to accommodate and combine the forces of heaven and earth. That's why you must put on your Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring.

We also know the evolution of the Lotus Ring. The latest generation, the 3rd generation, was created in 2012. And we all know what it is: the Lotus Double Dragon jadeite ring.

And we know the top jadeite piece, the jadeite cabochon, is the main determinant of power and price. Simply because it is not a random piece of jadeite from random parts. It is harvested from the core, or center, of a raw jadeite boulder. It is the oldest portion. It is where the rest of the jadeite expands from, leverages on, and grows. Some people have cast their doubts on this fact with their superficial knowledge. Yes, it would be impossible for most jadeite dealers to determine where their jadeite pieces should be carved from; most of them just buy from middlemen and charge you a premium. But for anyone who has the slightest understanding about how the Lotus works, you would know that we start from the very source. We dictate where any piece of jadeite should be carved from. And our jadeite cabochons that are used for the Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite rings are only harvested from the core of the jadeite boulder.

So what about your Lotus 108 agarwood beads? Is it because the string of beads also has 3 generations?

We have talked much about the power of the 108 agarwood beads in many episodes, and the mountains of articles. Please go take a look and revise -- I spent a great deal of time to understand and so divulge the secrets of 108 beads, I bet it is going to worth your time. And so there is this very point about your Lotus 108 agarwood beads: the beads are also harvested from the "core".

For agarwood, I don't exactly mean the center portion when I am talking about the "core". I am actually talking about the densest part of the raw agarwood. The resin content is so dense that it turns out to be like a chuck of stone. That's the core.

So this is the ironic issue: when agarwood is good, aged, and has denser resin content with less fiber, it actually gets softer. Earth agarwood 土沉 belongs to this category. But it comes to a stage when the resin is so, so, so dense that the part of agarwood becomes stone-like. Sometimes, when it is so serious and intense, when it is so aged, this stone-like agarwood sinks, and it becomes sinking agarwood 水沉.

Regardless, at every category of raw agarwood, be it the Daojia 倒架 or the sinking, the core -- the densest portion -- is harvested to be carved as beads.

And I am not talking about just one bead. I am talking about all 108 of them. Every single of the 108 beads comes from the core of its rare source. You can even say that a string of Lotus 108 agarwood beads is the accumulation of the best parts of a range of different raw agarwood. Their best parts, are chosen for the making of 108 beads. Your Lotus 108 agarwood beads is the elite consortium. 

So while your Lotus Heaven and Earth jadeite ring is one piece chosen from one core, your Lotus 108 agarwood beads is 108 pieces chosen from 108 cores...

Question: Lotus Ring, or 108 agarwood beads?

Answer: both. Because both your yin and yang should be as strong as the core.
