The “Lotus” Sutras
(These do not refer to, or have any bearing on, the ancient Buddhist White Lotus Sutra of the Devine Dharma)
Sutra 100i: Past and Future enfold the Now as the Lotus petals enfold its stamens.
Sutra 100ii: The Lotus is a parable that illustrates the Harmony of the Aesthetic with the Functional.
Sutra 100iii: The Lotus symbolises the Universal Third Eye: contemplation opens the Gateway.
Sutra 100iv: Meditate upon the Lotus: its form symbolises the Sparks of Brahman, as well as the flames in Natraj’s Circle of Destruction.
Sutra 100v: While the life of the Lotus is transitory, the concept is Eternal.
Sutra 100vi: By virtue of the existence of the Lotus, that existence is validated: that is our lesson.
Sutra 100vii: Those who see only God in the Lotus are short-sighted.
Sutra 100viii: The Lotus conceptualises the Now.
Sutra 100ix: The Lotus represents a Cosmic Nexus through which we may glimpse the Truth.
Sutra 100x: The perfection of the Lotus illuminates meditation as the Spark of Brahman illuminates the Atman.
