Hi Fu Mi Shakuhachi : Renkei Hashimoto
The Tears of the Lotus Blossom
(composition: Renkei Hashimoto)
The composer writes: In Buddhism, the lotus blossom is an important symbol. As early as in ancient India it was adored as 'Mother of the Universe'. One believed that the lotus flower was the origin of all Gods. In Buddhism, the lotus represents a state of absolute selflessness and purity. It grows out of murky and muddy water, where it opens up its beautiful and pure blossom. This piece is dedicated to all humans who had to leave this world painfully behind.
