The Vô-Vi logo (Heaven, Earth and Mankind) originated during an inspiring and pivotal moment in 1993, when Master Lương Sĩ Hằng – Vĩ Kiên visited meditation centers in Europe. While in Bodensee, Germany, he was inspired by fellow practitioner Phạm Xuân Bằng to sketch a symbolic image in the shape of a person in meditation surrounded with a radiant aura of light above his head. This sketch became the basis of the initial design for the official Vô-Vi logo – Heaven, Earth and Mankind. The logo is composed of three interlinked circles, each representing one of the energic and cosmic principles:
- Heaven (top circle): the lightest, thinnest circle symbolizing the divine or celestial source.
- Earth (bottom circle): the foundation and grounding force of physical existence.
- Mankind (middle circle): the connecting force between the spiritual and material worlds.
The Master explained that these circles reflect the flow of energy activated during meditation through Non-Retention Cyclical Breathing. They symbolize the harmonious interaction of spiritual and physical forces and represent the Trinity of Heaven, Earth, and Mankind, all composed of energy.
The logo was later enhanced with color and digital design, culminating in its formal registration as the official copyright and trademark for the Buddha-Dharma Method of Vô-Vi Transcendental Science by Master Luong Si Hang - Vi-Kien.
On the way to Quy Thức Meditation Center in southern France, Master Lương Sĩ Hằng -Vĩ Kiên and his entourage made a stop at Nguyễn Hải Âu's house in Bodensee, Germany. While at this location, we observed Mr. Phạm Xuân Bằng designing the association's logo. After seeing it, Master Lương Sĩ Hằng -Vĩ Kiên created a sketch on a piece of paper, as seen below, and informed us that the three circles represented Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
Based on Master Lương Sĩ Hằng – Vĩ Kiên's sketch and lecture, Mr. Phạm Xuân Bằng and a group of us sketched many different designs to present to the Master, who finally selected a design by Mr. Phạm Xuân Bằng. His logo design was in a form of a person meditating with a bright auric field circle covering the head. This image is the three energetic circles of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
The most prominent circle on the bottom of the image represents Earth. The lightest and thinnest circle on the top represents Heaven. The Humanity circle is in the center, right above the Earth Circle, surrounded by the circle of Heaven. Due to current technology at the time, the logo had no colors and could only be represented by three circles.
The Vô-Vi Friendship Association in Germany used the image of this logo as the cover for their first publication of the " Vô-Vi Activities" newspaper in January 1994. An exclusive copy was given to the Master for review prior to mass production. Copies were sent to various meditation centers worldwide as well as all Vô-Vi practitioners. Since then, the logo has been featured on the seal of The Vô-Vi Friendship Association.
Upon completing the Logo, the Vô-Vi Friendship Association and the Executive Board Members in Germany presented the Master with the engraved seal bearing his name as the owner. As seen in below image:
While at the 1994 Vô-Vi Grand Function in Canada, Master Lương Sĩ Hằng-Vĩ Kiên explained the meaning of the logo as follows:
The logo is 'Energy'. The flow of energy is similar to that when we meditate. Our logo is about energy. Due to the momentum of Non-Retention Cyclical Breathing, these three circles flow harmoniously in the body. When we close our eyes, we can see the light projecting out, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Dear Master, are these three circles a representation of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity?
Heaven, Earth, and Humanity are composed of energy. These three circles of energy are evolving, and modern civilization is trying to comprehend and explore this energy. That is why we continuously practice as we have not fully understood this energy and because we are still caught up in our worldly affairs. The future of our society can be a great one if there were more people practicing this Vô-Vi method. These practitioners will then one day help others through self-awareness and be a great asset to the society. Once they comprehend the principles of Heaven and Earth, their lives will be filled with peace and happiness. No matter where we go, we will still be within these three circles.
So, regarding these three circles with Earth being located on the bottom, Heaven on the very top, and Humanity in the center, which serves as the link between Heaven and Earth?
That is Heaven, Earth, Humanity, the Trinity. These three circles composed of all energy. Our ability to walk and run on the face of this earth is greatly due to energy. Everything is composed of Energy.
On January 21, 1995, the first Vô-Vi Musical and Cultural Show was held in Frankfurt with the theme title called 'Dual Existence of the Ordinary Life and Spiritual Perfection'. The Vô-Vi logo was utilized as a backdrop at this spiritual concert and future shows held annually to introduce the spiritual path to worldwide community.
The Vô-Vi Logo was first introduced to the public, as seen in the image above, and the logo is kept and exhibited at the Minh Tâm Meditation Center in Germany.
In 1998, during the Vô-Vi musical tour 'Messenger of Peace' in Cairns, Australia, the Master guided us on the color choice of the Vô-Vi logo. In particular, the flag must have a blue background. With the Master's approval, it is now possible to use the Vô-Vi flag.
In 1999, Master led Lê Văn Liêm through the process of computer-aided redesigning of the Vô-Vi logo and flag, including the addition of color.
The Master then led Vô-Vi Multimedia Communication to officially register the logo for copyright protection. It eventually gained the status of a trademark for the Method of Buddha Dharma's Vô-Vi Transcendental Science, which is what we are using in the Vô-Vi community today.
