Manufacturing method of lotus lamp

The manufacture method of that lotus lamp is as follows:

1. Prepare the tool materials first. Scissors, art knife, ruler, double-sided tape, pen and other necessary tools.

As for the material, I use red and yellow plastic mats to decorate the lamp body, while the lotus lamp itself uses octagonal transparent plastic bottles. However, if a film with moderate hardness and high transparency can be replaced, it is also possible to surround an octagonal prism according to the size you like. )

2. Use red plastic as lampshade.

3. Decorate the lampshade (according to your preference)

Make a handle.

Lotus lanterns used by Buddha are used to light candles and oil lamps. Lights represent wisdom, which banishes darkness and illuminates life. In a deeper sense, it represents burning yourself and shining on others. We offer lanterns in front of the Buddha, to understand this meaning.

In society, we should sacrifice ourselves for others, that is to say, we should offer lanterns. Candles burn themselves and illuminate others. The Buddha takes this idea here. We should sacrifice ourselves in society and benefit society and all beings, not to enjoy happiness, but to sacrifice ourselves for others. It takes this meaning.

All kinds of offerings before the Buddha have profound teaching significance and are vivid. It is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation to remind yourself to turn off the lotus lantern, which is used to mourn the dead relatives and bless the living.

It is very popular in Han, Mongolian, Daur, Yi, Bai, Naxi, Miao, Dong, Buyi, Zhuang and Tujia areas. People often put lanterns by the water on March 3rd, Qiqiao Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
