The white lotus flower is the symbol of beauty, purity and enlightenment. It tells the story of a journey through darkness into the light and how wisdom can come from deep dark places. Transcending the dualistic mind of bad and good, or dark and light, is something Buddhists have taught for thousands of years. On this Mayan day of the Eagle, we see things through the perspective of the Eagle, a higher perspective transcending the limitations of duality. We journey as the lotus rising from the dark muddy waters expanding into beauty and light. In this webinar we learn to understand and appreciate the meaning and purpose of suffering and the gifts it offers. Melanie Ryan shares from her own traumatic life experiences, including the sudden loss of her only child, Justin Bodhi, and the wisdom she is gaining from it.
