“The Zen of Sandalwood Dry Green Lotus Bracelet”

The sweeping monks in the ancient temples in the south of the Yangtze River would pick up a dried lotus pod by the release pond every day. The strange thing is that the holes in these lotus pods are always exactly eighteen. The old abbot made a bracelet with the sandalwood struck by lightning for a hundred years and these lotus pods, and gave it to Mingchen, a disciple who was about to return to secular life.

“Sandalwood calms the mind, and lotus pods reveal the nature.” The abbot gently stroked the rosary, “But you have to remember——”

Mingchen stepped into the world with this string of Buddhist beads:
🌿 The sandalwood beads would emit a calming fragrance when he was anxious
🍂 The dry green lotus pods would regain their jade luster when they met water vapor
The most amazing thing was that during a rainy season, the bracelet suddenly fell apart, and the eighteen lotus pods rolled into the tea soup, and the reflections of the eighteen arhats emerged.

Mingchen suddenly realized the second half of the abbot’s unfinished sentence:
“…But you have to remember that the real practice is not inside or outside the mountain gate, but between the thoughts and feelings.”

Lotus pod secrets:
◉ Each lotus pod contains a thousand-year-old lotus seed
◉ The sandalwood beads are engraved with the Heart Sutra
◉ On rainy days, a hologram effect of “one flower, one world” will appear

(Design origin: The bracelet is based on the ancient Song Dynasty system of Lingyin Temple. The lotus pod needs to be naturally dried in the shade for three years before it can be strung)
