Summer is also the Sen season.Flowers grow in ponds, ponds, lakes, suck up mud while growing, giving off their scent and offering all their bodies when fresh and when dilapidated.That vitality, that way of life, has made Sen a symbol of spirit; of Buddhism; of higher and higher things considered important.
Om Mani Padme Hum - the oldest footnotes of Buddhism in Tibet: Jewelry in lotus flowers is a true treasure, reminding creatures, accompanying humanity - precious things that are not open to the world, easy to possess.We must know how to find and keep Sen in our souls, even though the Sen season is gradually coming to an end.
