About the cover art of LOTUS BEAT 2
This gallery shows the progression and variation involved in designing something that is authentic and resonates visually with the music presented. The cover really depicts Phaeder traversing the Spiritual Cosmos with the guidance of the Vajradhara Navigator. This is a term used in Vajrayana Buddhism to describe the Guru. The halos or coronas represent certain phenomena appearing when chanting in absorption. The earth of course represents Dzambuling, the human realm or the Southern continent in Buddhist Cosmology – Earth, our blue mother.
The sun illuminating the planet symbolises the cycle of Samsara, but also the hope that even a meagre mind like mine could evolve into a fully enlightened being, benefitting all other sentient beings caught in the cycles of Samsara.
