A fixed Vesak Lantern — the Ata-Pattama — raised in crystal and metal upon the Knuckles Range of Matalé, in the Heart of Sri Lanka. A monument of Enlightenment, gifted to all Sri Lankans and to the people of the world, of every faith.
The emblem of the Light Foundation, Sri Lanka — the Ata-Pattama radiating from the heart's zero point. Every Helios Project is raised under this sign: consciousness, compassion and Light, given form.
Each year, on the Full Moon of Vesak — the most sacred day to millions of Buddhists around the world — the Ata-Pattama lantern appears across Sri Lanka, and vanishes with the dawn. The Golden Bridge of Light makes this fleeting form eternal.
The structure Sri Lankan Buddhists hold to represent Enlightenment is embedded with the teachings of the Arya Ashtangika Magga — the Noble Eightfold Path — the core teaching of the Middle Path as discoursed in the first sermon of the Lord Buddha after his Enlightenment.
Built of large crystals, magnets and metals, the monument embodies the Perfect State — the Vector Equilibrium of quantum physics, the Cuboctahedron of mathematics — so that the Light of the Universe may emanate from The Octave in the Heart of Sri Lanka: the Axis Mundi, where Heaven and Earth are connected.
A symbol of universal harmony, compassion and unconditional love — for people of all faiths.
A landmark of our culture and history — a universally sacred place of meditation and pilgrimage.

The land has already been received — nine acres and seventy perches upon the hills of the Knuckles Range, within proximity of Pitawala Pathana, gifted to the Light Foundation for the raising of the monument.
Deed of Gift No. 333 — attested by K.G. Thilani Dilhara, Attorney-at-Law & Notary Public (Colombo), and registered with the Additional Registrar of Lands, Matalé.

Sacred Geometry is the key to a dimensional lock that opens when we cast our eyes upon it. Gazing upon its images can initiate an energetic process of healing — and the most sacred of them all, the Ata-Pattama, the Cuboctahedron, is held to be the Most Balanced Shape in the Universe.
Named in 1917 by the architect, systems theorist, inventor and futurist Buckminster Fuller, the Vector Equilibrium represents the ultimate and perfect state — the point at which the movement of energy arrives at absolute equilibrium: absolute silence, nothingness. It is conceptually the geometry of the zero point, the unified field — pure potential, containing an infinite amount of energy.
"Look deep into nature, and you'll understand everything better."
— Albert EinsteinFrom atoms to galaxies and beyond, one donut-shaped energy vortex recurs at every scale of life. The underlying structure of the Torus is the Vector Equilibrium — the blueprint by which nature forms energy into matter.
The zero point of the Golden Bridge of Light symbolises the heart of all creation. At the origin of all things is the Universal Zero Point, reflected in every zero point of the multiverse — the principle of Indra's Net in the teachings of Buddhism and Hinduism: the smallest part contains the entire pattern of the whole.
▶ Torus Energy 101In Chinese medicine this zero-point energy dwells in the heart — the centre of the seven chakras. In the chakra systems of Hinduism and Buddhism, the human body itself is the pillar between heaven and earth — a temple, an axis mundi — seen in da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, and lived in Yoga and Tai Chi. Through meditation and prayer, the human being transcends earthly existence.
Throughout the centuries, geometrical forms have been revered as expressions of higher spiritual truths. The Golden Bridge of Light will serve as a structure for reflection, a gathering place for meditation, and a focal source to project and receive the creative force of the universe — to:
An entire universe can be seeded from one Vector Equilibrium, self-generating to fill all space and time — a cosmic blueprint, a living continuum. The living Void gives birth to all phenomenal forms, pulsating with the rhythm of the creation and destruction of material particles.
"Once we understand interconnectedness, we become conscious of our own power and responsibility to co-design and co-create a healthier, more just and regenerative future for all."
The Golden Bridge of Light rises out of a living body of teachings published by the Light Foundation — from the Symbol of Light to the geometry of Creation itself.

The geometry itself carries the sign: twelve spheres around one — the thirteenth at the centre. The Ata-Pattama stands as the emblem of the 13th Dimension of Intelligent Source — the field from which the twelve radiate, and the Vector Equilibrium as a model for system change: Recalibrate — Recover — Reincarnate.
Even theoretical physics has reached toward thirteen: Maxwell–Einstein theory has been studied in 13 dimensions with compactified timelike dimensions (C. Wolf), as cited in the concept dossier.

The project is funded through donations, and is proposed to be designed and structured with the knowledge of globally leading personalities from:
Light on Sri Lanka is the crowdfunding campaign to build The Golden Bridge of Light. 61.8% of all funds raised build the monument; the balance 38.2% is shared with 8 selected charities focused on Sri Lankan children and capacity building — especially ICT applications in Permaculture amongst women and rural communities.
