Meditation is not, as some people think, a means of escaping reality.  On the contrary, its object is to make us see reality as it is, to understand the cause of suffering, to dispel mental confusion, and to cherish the present moment.  The loyal Horse couple with beautiful gold fish, pure lotus flower, lovely peonies and auspicious fruit symbolize abundance, harmony, and a fruitful marriage and home life.  (07/27/2010)
