this White Lotus Day Address
White Lotus
Address
Madame Blavatsky requested that there be a day in each
year set aside to recall the Society itself to think that out of the grossness,
out of the chaos of things dark, in due season grew a very precious flower,
something which gave birth to a new movement. May 8th is called White Lotus Day
after the East Indian lotus symbol of the flower of perfection, which grows
from the waters and the grossness of life.
Let us once in the year, see what this Society is
about, what it has done and can do. It has been the builder of a far greater
pattern than any one person in it knows anything about. It may not be making a great noise,it may not be doing the things that we look at as so
important in life, but it is actually by its very preoccupation with ideas, by
the people whom it sends out, it is forming a nucleus for the universal
brotherhood of mankind. It does actually set something alight on inner planes,
and these contacts are the most priceless things in life. Curious initiations
go on all the time among such people.
Simply to talk about these things, — the talk spreads
from one to another, and it goes out, and disciples who had forgotten their
teachers, and teachers who had almost forgotten their disciples remember, and
old links are re-established, and we make the world anew.

If a group member has died in

will say a few word and there will be a few moments of reflection.
