Sacred Lotus🪷
~
The pink lotus flower is considered to be the true lotus of Buddha. It is known to symbolize purity of speech, of the body, and of the mind. It attracts prosperity & spirituality.

In Buddhism, the lotus is associated with purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean. A main line of thought in Buddhism is that a person’s path in life is similar to that of the lotus. Starting at the seed stage, early in the karmic cycle, through to the bud emerging from the dirty water, representing a person following the path of spirituality and leaving attachment behind, and finally blossoming.
This is when a person has become fully awakened.
