About Lotus Lion Design

At Lotus Lion Design our intention is to enhance & encourage the Buddha Nature within all of us - to help each and every one of us to shine brightly and confidently with happiness and compassion.

Everything at Lotus Lion Design is designed and created with the spirit of Buddhahood, and we hope that it will bring a little more joy, strength, hope and happiness to you and yours.

How did you start Lotus Lion Design?

Lotus Lion Design actually began because I was searching for Gemstone Nichiren Juzu for my own personal use and could not find any. I quickly realized that they are quite difficult to find, and are most certainly not sold in stores, so I decided to make my own. I studied the meaning of Juzu, learned how to make Juzu in authentic Nichiren Buddhist style and made my first set of Juzu. When I started using my Juzu, people quickly noticed and began to inquire about them, asking me where I bought them and if I could make Juzu for sale. That is when I began to realize that I could serve our Nichiren Buddhist Community as an artist and Lotus Lion Design was born.

I also wanted to design my Altar in a style that was fresh and unique, matching my personal style and home decor. Ultimately, I created my practice in a style that I loved, developing a deeper connection to my daily Daimoku Gongyo which led to a stronger faith in my Practice and appreciation for my Gohonzon. I feel that this is an important aspect of Practicing Nichiren Buddhism and I only hope that we can help fellow members around the world to develop a deeper connection themselves. ​
