On another day, here in my house in the MU in Taiwan, I had a special experience during meditation. I was again tired and was half asleep.

As I was dozing to and fro between sleep and meditation, I suddenly found myself in the midst of a big lake. Some swans were there. I looked at one swan and saw that in between or inside his wings there was a beautiful white lotus flower with golden stamens.

Then, I looked around more and saw that the swans in the lake had aligned in a perfectly geometrical way. My attention became focused on the swan in the centre of the lake. Although the wind was majestically and strongly blowing through his feathers, he did not move even a single inch. He remained in perfect meditative posture.

After observing him for a while I returned again to my normal meditation.
