Black Crown.

Quote.

Black Crown (Tib. Shwa nag): the special attribute of the Karmapas. Signifying the power to help all beings and the Master Buddha Activity, the dakinis bestowed this powerfield on Karmapa at his enlightenment several thousand years ago. It is constantly above his head and only visible to highly accomplished beings. During the time of the 5^th Karmapa, the Chinese Emperor had a replica of the powerfield of the Black Crown made for the Karmapa, which he uses during the Crown Ceremony. Seeing or meditating on the Black Crown causes an openness that allows one to purify the deepest levels of mind and to realize its nature. One can even reach liberation merely by seeing it. The Black Crown is one of the treasures of the Karma Kagyu lineage.

-- Quoted from 'Buddha & Love' by Lama Ole Nydahl.

Recently I had insights (thoughts appearing in mind).

I had insights that sometimes buddha blesses his students with Black Crown's blessing.

This works as the preparation for a student to be a king on one or more of his/her way(s).

Black Crown, it's essence being the powerfield generated by the activities of buddha & parts of sangha, prepares student for being a 'king' on one or more of his or her way(s). This also means that one's skillful methods, such as, for example - piloting an airplane, computer(s) hacking, martial arts philosophy, magick, or polishing diamonds - reaches mastery level that allows one to be highly efficient in this role.

Once Black Crown's blessing makes one to be realized as a king, one takes this responsibility of helping being(s) while in this role (king's role).


I think that I have Black Crown blessing for the way of computer-oriented magician (I want to be Red Team Hacker, and Virtual Adept as well) with martial arts philosophy.

I think that martial arts philosophy can be abstracted, and can be used with any way of life. Martial arts philosophy includes critical and honest introspection & strategy ('know yourself, know enemy'), and many other wisdoms that can help one to overcome his or her limits and prepare for facing life's difficult moments, hardships.

I think that martial arts philosophy can make one strong, can make one to keep improving, make him or her to be better and better person as life progresses, can be beautiful as well.

Black Lotus, a Gift for Love.

What is best gift a man can give for a woman, for Love?

Usually it's a flower, a Jewelry, or a work of Art.

What if a proper flower doesn't exist in nature, if it's a fictional Art work?

Black Lotus does not exist in nature, even if there's a specimen called that way.

It's found in fiction, in Art, in games ... but it's a powerful symbol still.

Thankfully i found a way.

i think a Buddhist woman i Love realized beautifully feminine protecting qualities, along with wisdom, perfection, purity, gentleness & power ... as a mythical black lotus that grows in the harsh swamp conditions.

i think Black Lotus is also a symbol of Magic, a feminine symbol of Buddhism.

Found in the Magic: the Gathering games, it's source of great power & beauty, that can enhance the play when used skilfully, alongside the other, meaningful cards ... it's the great, rare & precious work of Art as well, as well ... it's perhaps the most legendary, most sought of all of the cards.

i bought this Art work for a Buddhist woman i Love, a flower that symbolizes how i perceive her, how i experience her gentle power & emotional work with my feelings.

i feel secure in feelings, when thinking of her.

It's for You & only for You, whom i met in the Buddhist Center, who meditated with me, whom i touched knee-to-knee, when we sat & meditated beside.

i only Guard it for You.

Perhaps i'll skry this card, to learn it's powers, if insights tell me that, if i feel it's coming from someone worthwhile ... then use to build power of Sangha and/or friends, in times of need.

But i wish to keep the card intact, to guard safely, it's a flower & Art for You.
