PHILOSOPHY... LANGUAGE... LITERATURE... The lotus flower is a powerful symbol in Buddhist religion. The flower stands tall and unpolluted in muddy waters. It germinates in the darkness below, emerges above the water, and blossoms into a beautiful flower in bright sunlight. Buddhists use the symbol to refer to the complete purification of the body, soul, and mind even as the roots remain firm in the ground. (From: www.lotusflowermeaning.com/)
