The sacred Lotus Flower represents one symbol of the fortune of the Buddhist believe and is in it’s spiritual qualities a potent symbol that grows strong and beautiful from the murkiest depths. It resembles the purifying of the spirit , it grows in muddy water and in this environment
that gives forth the flowers first and most literal meanings rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment.
The Lotus Flower is not to be mistaken with the Water Lily
Lotus Flowers bear fruits, which are used in Asian cooking, and seeds, but don’t come in that many colors
A closed Lotus Flower represents the time before a Buddhist follower found Buddha or enlightenment
The real spiritual meaning of the Lotus Flower is, that it represents rebirth. This could appear in so many ways, might be a change of ideas or acceptance of changes in life or seeking for The Truth
The fully bloomed and open Lotus Flower symbolizes full enlightenment and self-awareness
This sacred Lotus Flower could live for a thousand years.
The white colored Lotus Flower is the most purest.
