Growing from muddy pond beds into beautiful flowers, lotuses have long been symbols of wisdom and renewal. It is said that Buddha could walk from birth, and everywhere he went lotus flowers bloomed from his footprints👣 There are over 800 varieties of the plant😇 |
Lotus flowers in many ways perfectly compliment spring's cherry blossoms: sakura (桜) have become a symbol of life's impermanence in Japan, whereas the lotus (蓮 'hasu') offers a more hopeful message of enlightenment and rebirth.
