 | | Holding a lotus flower, sitting in the lotus position, the bodhisattva's inner mind is like a lotus, standing apart from the vile crowd with a peaceful heart. |
 | | In Indian culture, the lotus is symbolic of rebirth, but in addition to its religious meaning, the lotus is also a symbol of all that is true, good and beautiful, representing good fortune, peace and enlightenment. |
 | | The blue lotus flower described in Buddhist texts, which is often compared to the clear light in one's eyes, is conjectured to be the water lily, whose petals are narrower. |
