The Pure Lotus
29" x 37" 2004 chinese watercolorA woman sits in the meditative posture of Falun Dafa, her inner experience and awakening mirrored outwardly in the aura and blooming lotus flowers that surround her. At the abdomen area is a falun, or “Law Wheel”—a metaphysical wheel that is emblematic of the practice and part of its subtler, energetic workings. Millions throughout China begin their day seated in this manner, cultivating an inner calm and purity.
