SINGAPORE, July 8, 2022 / PRNewswire / – Shambhala Kodoa Singaporean wellness center specializing in aromatic incense therapy and aura and chakra scanning and therapy, has engaged with the provider of Web3 & Event IT solutions Clover lemon to make MandalaFON series. The series was announced in April 2022with all NFTs fully subscribed by June 20, less than two weeks before the official launch on July 2.
Conceptualized by Master Lim Say Fonfounder of Shambhala Kodo, and the first Singaporean master of Japanese art Kodo and aromatherapy, each of the 1011 NFTs in the series was developed with a symbolic message to help promote well-being, attention and positivity. The series was launched on OpenSea and was completely unveiled at a live event at The Sheraton Towers Hotel in Singaporethe first physical launch event of such a nature.
The project seeks to create a more positive space in the NFT landscape. Today, most NFTs are purchased for the purpose of “flipping” for profit. Although this profit-centric mindset has benefited many, it has also left the market open to fraud and other types of predatory behavior. Shambhala Kodo seemed to be a breath of fresh air in the market, trying to create a digital work of art that works in the same way as collective art that helps art owners find inner peace and well-being.
“The idea came from my study of ancient works of art that contain symbolic messages of positivity and love. From there, I looked to use modern platforms such as NFTs to share this traditional art style with people, and help them find well-being and inner peace in himself, “said Master Fon.
The NFT collection consists of 10 avatars:
-
Lord of the Moon, representing Monday and the third eye chakra.
-
The Lord of Mars, representing Tuesday and the sacred chakra.
-
Mercury Lord, representing Wednesday and the neck chakra
-
The Lord of Jupiter, representing Thursday and solar Plexus Chakra
-
The lord of Venus, who represents Friday and the crown chakra
-
The Lord of Saturn, representing Saturday and the root chakra.
-
The Lord of the Sun, representing Sunday’s heart chakra.
-
Lord of Purity, representing peace and tranquility.
-
The Lord of Accomplishment, who represents the spirit of pursuing one’s dream.
-
The goddess of wish fulfillment, who represents self-confidence and self-belief.
Then, 100 different variations were created with each avatar, with each variation designed to create a unique meaning for each NFT. The collection contains 4 rare levels that represent the 4 progressive stages of awakening and enlightenment. These choices were made to give each of the 1011 NFTs their own unique message of well-being and positivity.
“In the case of this Lord of Purity NFT. In his right hand he holds a Vagra (a ritual weapon that symbolizes a thunder), and in his left a bell. The Vagra represents wisdom, while the clock represents action. Thus, the image represents how to must use great wisdom to perform all duties in the highest form of perfection, “explains Master Fon.
To ensure that works of art are meaningful and distinctive, Master Fon carefully guides the artist on the different designs, variations and meanings of each work of art. The NFTs themselves were each hand-illustrated, with no procedural generation involved in the design process to give the collection as a whole a more modern and authentic style, while each piece reflects its own unique meaning.
Profits from the NFTs will be reinvested to create a metaverse that promotes positivity and attention. The MandalaFON NFTs themselves would serve as VIP passes for both the metaverse platform and real-world activities, with benefits such as classes on feng shui, geomancy, numerology and astrology performed by Master Fon himself.
Furthermore, the NFT project wants to help disadvantaged communities both in Singapore and beyond. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the MandalaFON team is looking at developing goods for the benefit of children with cancer Singapore. Outside local boundaries, Master Fon seems to dedicate part of the project’s income to helping children in Nepal and India by financing their education and the construction of hostels. He is no stranger to supporting communities like these, having donated a water filtration system to a temple in Laos back in April 2019.
