Vegan Happy Lotus Sweatshirt 
This gorgeous new design is all about new beginnings but also about how we blossom along our journey but need to traverse the trials in order for our lotus to bloom. 
 
As Thich Nhat Hanh writes in No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering: “Most people are afraid of suffering. But suffering is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow. There can be no lotus flower without the mud.”
