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.

Couples that are Gift to the World.

Generous Love.

'Generous love, the glue that holds everything together in a healthy relationship, aims for shared happiness through the fulfillment of one's partner. From the great moments of their lives, many remember that the experiences of sharing love are much more honest and convincing than anything one could do for oneself. The joyful rush of living the highest principle of oneness and being there for everyone brings pervasive meaning and a sense of liberation, as if one has just broken out of prison. Most of the time, attraction is the dominating element at the beginning of a love affair. This continues on in good relationships because one simply gains pleasure by giving joy. But if permanence and a well-rounded development are to unfold, there must also exist a genuine respect and trust in the partner. This can be seen in all experienced couples.

Those who have a surplus of inner values are not only more prone to have pleasant experiences, but are also more convincing when they pass them on to others. Couples who are like this are gift to the world. When both partners share joy, then new levels of meaning open up. And so a healthy foundation to work from - created through conscious and friendly thought, words, and actions - is highly precious. In a long-term relationship, the joy that is based in such a foundation steadily increases. Bursting the limits of an "I-You" dynamic, it radiates outward for the benefit of all.

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


Two kinds of love.

Conditioned love expects, hopes, fears, and wants to "get" rather than give. Thus, disturbing emotions arise and one gets increasingly poorer on the inner level.

Giving/Unconditional love realizes how much beings struggle with their inner & outer worlds - that they do, say, and think things which make them unable to find lasting happiness. Consequently one begins to give, without thinking of one's own advantage.'

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


About Buddha Karmapa 17th's marriage with Rinchen Yangzom.

Recently, Buddha Karmapa 17th followed the example of his 15th incarnation as Kakhyab Dorje, who and chose the inspiration of a fine wisdom partner to be at his side.

i don't have proper words for this, i can't express how great news this is for the whole World - so i only quote Lama Ole Nydahl, the author of 'Buddha & Love' book.

'In the situation we live in there is probably no more useful and uplifting way to benefit societies and lay people everywhere than the blazing example of a couple activating the great dimensions of a perfect and happy family.

May wonderful events follow this fusing of two great hearts and may there be meaningful, new and gladdening insights appearing in a modern world, which make so many aspects of mind’s potential possible'.


Wishes.

May all beings have happines and causes of happiness,

May they be free from suffering and the cause of suffering,

May they always experience true happiness, which is totally free from suffering,

May they remain in the great equanimity, which is beyond attachment and aversion.

A Gift.

A 'Nitescence' paint by Nerialka.

With a Ritual TAROT Tools & a Raven Familiar Statue, also a Ritual Magick Tool.


A Gift.

i bought this a paint on deviantART, it's my friend Nerialka's Art.

Nerialka saved my life, along with Buddhist friends by dragging me out from a severe depression mental illness, so i stood a chance to carry on. i treasured it very much.

It was what a lady-friend has most precious to offer anyway, her time at youth. i think she kept preparing for talks with me as well, perhaps she involved her friends. She gave me about a year, then left. i know she prefers quiet people - so we do not talk much - but i feel that we still are friends.

My experiences with Nerialka show that she at least behaves as a true lady - a far from the haughty & stiff cliche aristocrat - she's gentle & eloquent - prefers to use both small & wise words - she's quiet, modest, humane, polite, a little cold but still friendly & caring, her manneres have no faults, she's wise, philosophical, spiritual, open-minded & compassionate altruist - even if many consider her evil, as she fights for those she cares for. Never heard a rude word from her as well, she's quite educated (Physics & Chemistry, a little of Computer Programming & perhaps more), can work very hard & fast. i know she does not want to brag or attract too much of attention, but she's very elegant & beautiful as well - i saw this on her photo that is not available on deviantART.

i hope that she forgives me revealing that much about her in this article.

A value of her 'Nitescence' paint is even more, because i tried to offer it for a Buddhist center - it's that important & valuable for me - i didn't want to offer something not worthy.

i brought 'Nitescence' within the Buddhist Center, it was unpacked & examined - a Buddhist Artist & Teacher Rafał Olech examined, told he likes when i did ask, also explained that in Buddhist Centers there's only Thangka Art. Still i feel it was blessed that way, it reminds me of Liberation, of how Nerialka liberated me from suffering significiantly.

There's also a symbol - a toxic tear, that leaves the eye - liberating it from that suffering.

After that i met a Buddhist woman i Love, we meditated together, then decided that 'Nitescence' is for her instead.

But this not so simple as that, for i also offered HH Buddha Karmapa 17th Trinley Thaye Dorje everything i have, my death & my life as well - until now only in mind.

If our Sangha's Buddha decides, a 'Nitescence' paint is for him instead, i hope a Buddhist woman i Love will forgive if this occurs.
