The Lotus
Lotus movements Video: Follow the movements and say these words as you go ..
The Emperor comes to a pagoda on a low hill overlooking the edge of the lake water at dawn, and watches as a gentle breeze rustles the leaves as the sun rises in the sky
He looks down on the lake, and sees a turtle treading water
Nearby, a snow rabbit is digging in the soft earth
Across the lake a young maiden bends and scoops up water, and then sprinkles it on the earth
By the lake, a lotus plant puts down its roots
and sends up a beautiful flower
A wise man in the village by the lake tests the wind in the east, and he tests the wind in the west
The Emperor lifts the sky
then presses the earth
he gathers energy from the earth
As he looks across the lake he sees a while crane dries each of its wings in the warming sun
The snow rabbit still digs the earth
A gentle breeze is still rustling the leaves
... and as the sun sets, evening has begun!
