lotus

I used shards from bowls and my end product looked like a lotus flower, a thing I did not realize until someone pointed it out.

When a strong light is trained on it, however, that image is projected onto a wall to reveal Amida standing on a lotus blossom and radiating beams of light.

It’s beautifully decorated, with colored glasses, a striking mural, and umbrellas, lanterns, and floating bamboo lotus hanging from the ceiling.

Mountain yam, bamboo pith and shoots, lotus seeds and gorgon fruit, which Yin says “looks like chickpeas, and tastes like tapioca,” all appear on his menu, too.

Soon after, Greene’s work filled nearly every room of his former Palos Verdes home: lamps, shelves, an altar, an armoire adorned with a lotus flower.
