In Praise of the Vajra Wisdom and Compassion SealWritten in Chinese by Upasika Sui He
|
In order to create a logo for our Chinese website Vincent and I were trying to find an emblem that could represent Guardian Master's spirituality and simultaneously convey his compassionate blessing and invisible merits. Therefore, we chose from among Gracious Guru's collection of Dharma seals the Vajra Dharma Seal and the Union of Wisdom and Compassion Seal to serve as the basic structure. So as to completely convey the meritorious virtues of these two seals, after designing and discussion for many times we eventually decided to use the Vajra Dharma Seal as the Essence to signify that Guardian Master's teachings of pure lineage is outstanding and unswayable as the Vajra, and to use the Union of Wisdom and Compassion Seal as the Function by rotating it clockwise around the Vajra Dharma Seal to signify that Guardian Master's Tantric salvation activities universally bless all beings far and wide as expression of his virtuous nature that is Wisdom and Compassion in harmonization. We presented the logo to Guru and obtained Merciful Guru's approval. I am not keen on recording matters, the Tantric significances of these two seals are very profound, and their complete comprehension is beyond our capacity; nevertheless, so as to help all people that would come into contact with this logo to universally share the merciful grace I put it down in writing.
(Note: To comprehend further the Tantric significances of these two seals please read the two articles written by Merciful Guru, "Significance of the Vajra Dharma Seal" and "Significance of the Union of Wisdom and Compassion Seal"; both works in Chinese had been posted and in English will soon be posted at this websites.)
