White Elephant: A Journey toward Wisdom, Power, and Wealth
Riding on a white elephant, a symbol of royal power, deep wisdom, and great endurance, we follow the baby blue dragon as he searches for intriguing lights and the glow of magic, and embarks on his journey with the wisdom and knowledge gained from solving riddles.
The white elephant king is the last animal reincarnation of the great Buddha, who came to the womb of His future human mother 2,560 years ago. Lanterns were first built 2,000 years ago in China by monks as an offering to this magnificent teacher, the Buddha, who taught wisdom and brought light to the universe.
DRAGON STORY TWO
A Riddle Journey
Life is a journey of riddle-solving. We are awarded for solving the riddles one step at a time. The tradition of making journeys through lantern riddles started 1,500 years ago during China’s Tang Dynasty. Monks built the lanterns to pray for enlightenment, and riddles were written on the lanterns for all guests to guess. Whoever solved the riddle was awarded a treat, a sweet, or a gift. Now this custom has spread through lantern festivals not only in Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Thailand, but all around the world, including in France, Spain, and Russia.
Follow the baby blue dragon in trying to solve the riddles, and you will be rewarded!
DRAGON STORY THREE
The Tree of Life
When the baby blue dragon emerges from the giant green tree, he is surrounded by guardian angels and fairies. At first, the baby dragon does not know that this is the tree connecting all dimensions of the universe. He is just amazed by the beauty of this world, full of rainbow colors and lights shining everywhere across the Earth.
The Tree of Life represents the cosmic axis, eternal life, and secret knowledge. This Tree of Life appears across many ancient civilizations, from Mesopotamia and Egypt to the Norse lands, symbolizing divine knowledge and fertility, with roots in the underworld and branches in the heavens.
DRAGON STORY FOUR
A Peacock Protects and Glorifies, the Rainbow Beckons
The peacock holds out the promise of eternal life. Hera, queen of the gods, adopted the peacock after her hundred-eyed giant was slain, transferring his eyes to the bird's tail to watch over her and the universe eternally. Across cultures, the peacock symbolizes divinity, immortality, and rebirth. In Hinduism, it's associated with gods such as Krishna and Kartikeya, symbolizing beauty, wisdom, and victory. In China, it signifies fame and good fortune, while Christianity uses it to represent resurrection, believing that its flesh doesn't decay. It is a beauty on earth that does not fade.
The baby blue dragon learns from the fairies that although life on earth is long and beautiful, the world under the sea is seven times as gorgeous. The fairy deer tells the baby blue dragon to follow the rainbow to find the entrance to the world under the sea, wherein lies the most incredible hidden treasure of all!
DRAGON STORY FIVE
The Dragon King Builds a Palace under the Sea
The baby blue dragon follows the rainbow and finds the crystal gateway to the undersea world, guarded by two golden sea horses. Going through a passage guided and lit by jellyfish, he finds a world of light - lights with various jewelry-tones glitter everywhere. The dolphins and other beautiful aquatic creatures welcome him. A pearl fairy points the way to the magnificent Dragon Palace, where the powerful Dragon Kings reside. Dragon Kings rule the seven seas of the water world. Their palaces are built of sparkling crystals, corals, pearls, and precious gems. They contain vast stores of treasure, along with immortal weapons and other magical artifacts.
Once, the Monkey King Sun Wukong came to the Dragon King of the East Sea asking for a unique weapon. The Dragon King offered him the famous golden magic rod, with which the Monkey King promptly created a massive turmoil in the palace.
The Dragon King is discussing the building of a magnificent new palace when the baby blue dragon arrives and is welcomed into the court. Dragon King tells the baby blue dragon, “Although we have seven times more treasure here than on the land, the heavenly realm has seven times more treasure, and an even more splendid glow than we have here. You can find the Monkey King there, and he will introduce you to the heavenly treasures.”
DRAGON STORY SIX
Meeting Monkey King at the Heavenly Queen Mother’s Banquet
The baby blue dragon follows the cloud passage, and the heavenly realm opens up. A bluebird guides the way, crying, “Follow me!” There lies the Queen Mother of Heaven’s peach blossom garden. Sun Wukong, the clever but mischievous Monkey King, gatecrashes the grand banquet and devours all the Queen Mother’s magic immortal peaches. He points to Pegasus and says to the baby blue dragon, “Look where he is going. There, you will see brilliant lights pointing to seven times as much treasure as we have here. Go ahead, and I will join you as soon as I have a little fun here!“—and proceeds to get drunk and create more chaos.
DRAGON STORY SEVEN
Pegasus Leads the Way
Pegasus is a symbol of freedom, poetic inspiration, and the immortality of the soul. This majestic winged horse was the product of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the blood of the Gorgon Medusa. Pegasus provides the mythical ride to freedom, to the land of ultimate bliss and fulfillment.
The baby blue dragon is excited to see the famed flying horse. Pegasus explains, “Every twelve years, the Lotus Portal opens up and shines brightly for everyone to enter! You have come at the right moment. Beyond this portal, the golden lights will bless whoever enters. You will receive the most precious treasure, the golden light of the universe.” Pegasus continues, “Let the beauty of the golden light come in and touch you. With that, you will be empowered and transformed into a Lumivaron, the mighty guardian angel of light. You will forever have the light and the freedom to travel anywhere. The treasure will always follow you, inside you, and you will never again be lost in darkness and misfortune!”
“Follow me, I will lead the way!”
DRAGON STORY EIGHT
Entering the Lotus Portal
Up ahead, the beautiful Lotus Portal casts a graceful and warm glow. The Portal is surrounded by colorful clouds, shining fairy deer, precious plants, and lotus blossoms. The baby blue dragon sees a mass of creatures walking on land, flying in the air, and swimming in the ocean, all rushing through the Lotus Portal. Something is about to happen!
DRAGON STORY NINE
Arriving in the Lotus Garden and Encountering the Golden Light
As soon as the baby blue dragon enters the Lotus Portal, he sees a golden light emanating from the center of the lotus garden, where a shimmering seven-tiered golden pagoda rises majestically from the pond. As if from nowhere, a golden dragon and a golden phoenix appear in the sky, twirling around the golden pagoda. The skies are bathed in a magnificent golden light. Suddenly, the baby blue dragon feels the golden light pulling him up and up toward the pagoda. The light feels powerful yet indescribably warm and blissful. The baby blue dragon starts dancing to the light, circling the pagoda with the golden dragon and the golden phoenix as the pagoda itself rises through the air. A sudden explosion inside the baby blue dragon illuminates and connects everything, and he gasps in wonder, “I am a light guardian! I am a Lumivaron!”
