How is my Sandals related to Sandalwood?

Did you know the history of sandals is older than sandalwood?  Yes, the earliest sandals discovered is 10,000 years ago compared with the earliest known use of sandalwood which is 4,000 years.  Both are equally important.  You and I wear sandals, but we also used sandalwood in our daily lives too.  Such as offering incense, putting on perfume and occasionally applying medicine.

Sandalwood makes us smell nice because it has a natural fragrant oil.  Sandals makes my feet smell nice by preventing my legs from becoming 'Made In Hong Kong' or Athlete's foot.  I wear mine at home to keep my feet warm when the chilly weather makes the floor tiles too cold.

Come to think of the Lifting action, the sandalwood is harvested by uprooting the entire tree fully so that its roots can also be used, just as when we have finished taking our step, we lift our feet fully.

And sandalwood is usually offered while wearing sandals. This is seen on Hindu and Japanese priests, as well as in ancient Egypt and Rome, worn at religious festivities and events.

The Best in Business is Old Mountain sandalwood that has at least 100 years of history backing, similarly to my Birkenstock sandals which has more than 200 years of heritage.  Both costs much more than the ordinary sandals and sandalwood because the Old Mountain sandalwood is known to deliver the best in Windfall luck and Birkenstocks are known to have an extremely comfortable sole contour.

Have you seen that Fengshui Gallery along Upper Thomson Road?


If I had asked myself that question from one year ago, this is probably what I was gonna get--

The Fengshui place along Upper Thomson Road? That place that sells jade at an extravagant price?? That place's cater for the rich, not for people like me, obviously. 10 grand is a price too steep for me to take that risk.

And if my boyfriend didn't insist on getting one because of our situation, I wouldn't have converted into a believer. But looking back from where I am now, not just there were no sense of regret, in fact, I am so glad I started prospering with my first jadeite.

I know many of you have seen this place from the outside, yet not all had stepped into this place to find out what this is all about, let alone those who took the first step (and tons of courage) to even purchase just the auspicious jadeite.

Not all of us are born rich, not all of us have 10 grand with us when we first started (yes, there are reasonable installments), but what we took was a leap of faith with Master Yun on a path to better life. Of course, your life may not get worse without a lotus item, but with one, it's almost always better comparing what it used to be.

So, the question now is, when will you be stepping into that fengshui gallery along Upper Thomson Road? No, we won't bite even if you decide not to buy. But if you did, years later, if you had the chance to meet your past self from right at that cross junction, you be like me, grateful and thanking yourself for making that decision years ago.

How to get MORE 'A's in your exams and Your Life

One of ways is to improve your Wen Chang (Literati) Star, the most auspicious star other than the wealth stars in your house / work place with a white Crystal mountain.

The shape of the mountain is to be straight, tall, with a slight base, like a 'A'. This is to bring in the 'A's in your life, be it outstanding in studies/career.

There are bridges carved on the mountain. Bridges to building better relationships, attracting more helpful people to help you to achieve the 'A's together.

There are houses on the mountain. Just like there are people staying on the mountain, making the mountain alive and effective for its purpose.

These kinds of white crystal mountains are called Tai Bai Gold and Silver Mountain 太白金银山 in Lotus on Water.

Almost Transparent Tai Bai Gold and Silver Mountain
You can also choose White Crystal Buddha Sculpture to improve your Wen Chang (Literati) Star in your house/workplace. This choice can allow you to better attract and enlist more benefactors' help.

Master Yun personally blessings for each individual Crystal.

Which one are you choosing today?

BEHOLD: The Dragon Returns to the Sea 龙归大海


Many of you have seen this piece of Lotus exquisite jadeite, in person or just the photo, and I am sure we can all agree that this is the purest white jadeite ever. And for those who know me, this is my favorite piece. This has always been my favorite piece. I am sure this is also your dream piece, for many of you. 

This is the "Dragon Returns to the Sea 龙归大海".

As like other Lotus exquisite collections, we can discover many secrets of prosperity. Prosperity is in the details. Every one who holds it in his or her hand would notice something unique, something special. Like the Dragon Returns to the Sea is calling out to you, and presents you with a signal. Sometimes, only you can see that particular feature of prosperity.

Some have noticed that the curved depression in the sea signals a yin-yang, the taiji. Some pointed out that this dragon is facing the front, a rare occurrence, like the dragon on . Some even told me they saw numbers in this exquisite piece!

See any numbers?

But I want to talk about the main lead here, the dragon. 

Question: where is the dragon's tail?

You can see the head of the dragon, but where is the tail?


This is the tail. The dragon's tail is at the back of the pendant. 

This is unlike other Lotus exquisite pendants with dragons - the head and tail of the dragon are on the same side and clearly visible. 

This dragon that is returning to the sea and reign as king, is no common dragon. We have a saying, 神龙见首不见尾 - you can only see the head of the holy dragon, but not its tail.

This, my friends, is the holy dragon. 

And take a closer look at the tail. The tail fans out like a blooming summer. Your prosperity is prominent, from the beginning all the way to the end.

We have to recognize that we cannot force this to happen in any random piece of Lotus jadeite. It has to happen with the coincidental and combined efforts of the heavens, earths and the man. The earths has to present this quality of raw jadeite, the heavens has to arrange for it to be discovered by man, and the man to appreciate and accommodate this gift presented to us by heavens and earths.


In short, the Dragon Returns to the Sea is a masterpiece of not just the craftsman, but the heavens, the earths, and the man. When you put on this Dragon Returns to the Sea, you are having the blessings of this holy trio with you.

I know this Dragon Returns to the Sea will go home with someone special.

The Lotus Creates Prosperity


It is about 18 days since the first soar of the Lotus Pineapple Dragon - I can still hear its roars in the galleries.

Before the Lotus Pineapple Dragon, blessed clients of the Lotus saw the Lotus Dragon during 2014's Chinese New Year Celebrations, and the Fire Dragon during the 8th Anniversary Celebrations, and many others before that. Faithful followers of the Lotus get to enhance their Lotus collections through the different Huat breaths from different Dragons.


This is our mark of responsibility towards our faithful clients. For clients who are with the Lotus year after year, they get a fresh new layer of luck every other occasion. Clients who have followed the Lotus before the dawn of the galleries, for 10, 12 years, have been enjoying the accumulation of prosperity over these years.

The Lotus Pineapple Dragon is the creation of Lotus on Water. Similar to the precious collections of the Lotus, protected creations of the Lotus.

The Lotus creates prosperity. Because our prosperity is worth creating. And because only by creating prosperity, would we be responsible to our committed clients. Blessed clients who share the same ideals as the Lotus deserve the best. Blessed clients who aspire for the finest things in life and invested in the Lotus for a wondrous future deserve nothing but the best.

   
Like getting a new fresh layer of luck from every other Lotus celebration, clients prospering with the Lotus create their own path of prosperity. New, original, fresh, uniquely yours, not a mere used copy of others' prosperity. Not a cheap shell of what that should be.

For those of you who have a copy of The Lotus Diary, you would notice that there is this section under every day's schedule, "Daily Learning." For every Lotuson (staff of Lotus on Water), daily learning is compulsory. We learn every single day, so that we expand daily. Our Lotus collections are vital, so is our attitude towards ourselves, and the people we are responsible of. There were many who left the Lotus, not because of the pressure of performance, but the pressure of learning, of improving, of the challenge to change, putting down what that might be good and going for greatness.

Lotus on Water is about creation. And so shall be the prosperity of our clients: you create your path to be the top, you create yourself as the ultimate winner, you create your ever-expanding prosperity.

Create your future with the Lotus today.

A Very Short Introduction about the Annual Wealth Bags. Both of Them.


The Annual Wealth Bags are back! Let me give those who are new to the Wealth Bags a short introduction about them. I want to reveal to you the very intricate processes involved in making them - know this, Master Yun insists on concocting the content of the Wealth Bags himself, but I will leave it to the next article. A quick one here.

There are 2 Annual Wealth Bags, one for your annual direct wealth luck, one for your annual indirect wealth luck. The direct wealth luck is always more important, we call it the "prime energy 正神" in the classics. Without "direct", there wouldn't be "indirect" - get it?

Let's start with the more important one - the Year-round Money Bag for your 2015 direct wealth. Filled with the not-for-sale premium earth and sinking agarwood powder and essence, especially the Qinan powder, together with Master Yun's specially prepared Lotus vermilion, sealed with aged raw silk and ambergris to contain and preserve the power for 12 months.

If you are all for offense - you just want to HUAT for 2015 fengshui, get the Wealth Bags and the Imperial White Inkstone. Of course I am assuming you are already wearing your Double Dragon jadeite ring.

The difference with the Four Seasons Windfall Bag - for your 2015 indirect wealth - is the content. Not with agarwood, but rare sandalwood powder and essence. 

Note this: the powder and essence used in these 2 Wealth Bags come in such precious mass that they are not available as beads or pendant, but only available as powder and essence. And in the form of concentrated powder and essence, they are more than sufficient to activate the wealth energies at corners advised by your Lotus advisors, under the guidance of Master Yun.

Which one to get, where to place, how to place, place them for how long, what happens after 12 months...ask your Lotus advisors. They will tell you. These 2 Annual Wealth Bags are color-coded. Your advisors will translate Master Yun's advice for you, where to place which color Wealth Bag. 

Once again with Lotus on Water, this is not something you can pick and go. Every single Annual Wealth Bag is made upon order - made by Master Yun himself. Consult your Lotus advisors, we want to be as specific to your case as possible. You can check this out with Shiyi and Meilin.

Be super prosperous for 2015! And most importantly, prosper for real. Don't attempt to prosper with cheap imitations - your future is at stake. You know what I mean =)

端念

端砚是古时的文房四宝中的特级砚。在端砚上研出墨汁细滑,助书写与作画更顺畅。端砚石本质属寒,无论署冬,在端石上呵气,聚在端石上的水气都不易散去。曾经就有位状元郎在当时的冬考里以仅有的时间以端石制成的端砚呵气研墨完成了考试成了状元,当其他的考生在当时干寒的冬考中无法顺利研墨。端砚石只有在如今中国肇庆的特殊地理环境下经过四亿年的时间形成。而今天的地球是在宇宙四十六亿年开始形成。试想想我们如果可以善用这在地球上累积了四亿年的能量,有着地球至少十份之一年龄的端砚,其含有的力量,可想而知。端砚其中还分白端,紫端及不同坑开采制成的砚台。白端石开采区现今是保护区;禁止开采。比起紫端,白端更是罕见。其罕见的程度比流星还少。在古时, 的确只有皇帝可用罕有的白端研朱砂作朱批,批阅奏章。一国的大小事件都以白端研朱砂批准。白端研朱砂像征无上权力与权威。当我们用白端研朱砂时,就像我们自己在决定一国的大小事件;一间公司的大小事件;及一家大小事件。我们可以凭自己的本领与在白端研朱砂上的信念,影响周围的气厂与能量完成心里所想所求。
