The Lamps Designed by Supreme Master Ching Hai
The lamps in the stores are made mostly in mundane geometric
shapes and are mass produced in a factory. It is not very
easy to buy a beautiful, handmade artistic lamp. An
attendant suggested to Master that if Master Ching Hai could design some
lamps, the Quan Yin messengers who are good at carpentry
could make them.
The Supreme Master Ching Hai (more) agreed and designed many lamps
on paper while explaining the details to the Quan Yin
messengers. With the joint efforts of Master and Her
disciples, several elegant and uniquely styled lamps, with
Chinese knots hanging from the sides, were created. Master
has called these lamps Longevity Lamps, symbolizing the
Eternal Light.
