• The Legend of the Lotus Flower Aug 10, 2025

  

  Long ago, in the ancient kingdom of Âu Lạc, when dragons still flew over the mountains and fairies danced in the moonlight, there lived a young woman named Sen whose beauty was renowned throughout the land. Her name meant “lotus” in the old language, though at that time, no one had ever seen such a flower, for it did not yet exist in the world.

  Sen lived with her elderly parents in a village beside a great lake that reflected the sky like a mirror. She was known not only for her beauty—skin like porcelain, hair like flowing silk, and eyes that sparkled like stars—but also for her pure heart and gentle nature. She tended to the sick, helped the poor, and never spoke an unkind word about anyone.
