We hope these inspirational and thought provoking quotations by the 9th
Domo Geshe Rinpoche accompanied by dramatic portraits of lotuses will

ordinary life and gain enlightenment, just as the lotus emerges
triumphantly.

When I sit for meditation,
I am standing for what I believe in~~~~~
Holding away change and
demanding life to be like it was before, rubs and irritates the actual
way you are alive like petting a cat from tail to head~~~~

Full color
dramatic photographs of rare and delightful lotuses accompany each
quotation to create a lasting visual impression.

There are 50 full
color lotus flower photos and 50 graphic displays of quotations as well
as explaining how to use quotations as basis for meditations.
It also
introduces a deep topic of how we interact with the symbolic world that
is of great interest to all spiritual seekers
