Black Flower Cheongsam Dress

All the Splendor of the World is Like a Dream This season’s inspiration comes from an awareness of afflictions. The designer used vibrant colors, traditional structures, and modern silhouettes, hoping to provide wearers with a different experience than before. The term “Awareness of afflictions” refers to the discriminating and resentful thoughts arising from external phenomena. Just like the fog that rises from the ground, it obscures our inherently pure mind. Therefore, we must let go of attachments and coexist peacefully with our afflictions. Sanmao said, “Things we intentionally search for are often the ones we cannot find. Everything in the world has its own time for coming and going.” Just like our thoughts, we should perceive them as mere arising and passing conditions, understanding that all thoughts are fleeting, and all splendor is a dream.
