In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of body, speech, and mind, as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire.

The Buddha is often depicted seated on a giant lotus leaf or bud. According to legend, he was born with the ability to walk and wherever he set foot, lotus flowers bloomed. In Buddhism the lotus flower is emblematic of Buddha.

Throughout the Indian world there are many paintings, sculptures and representations of the lotus flower. This is due to the unique feature of the lotus which is the only aquatic plant whose flower is above water unlike water lilies and other cousins ​​whose flower floats on water. This image, connoting lightness, of the flower rising above the surface of the water joins that of Buddha so light that he rests like a cat above the ground.

The symbolism of the lotus in Buddhism still comes from the fact that the seed and the flower appear together, it is about the simultaneity of the cause (the seed) and the effect (the flower) in the law of causality of the universe which is one of the major concepts of Buddhist philosophy. To this we must add that the lotus draws its vital substance from the mud to flourish, in fact, above the water. Thus “the mud” represents the sufferings, the troubles, the desires, which are the very soil of our development. It is therefore possible to transform one's karma through enlightenment, the attainment of Buddhahood, through our awakening to the law of causality. Always present in domestic altars and in temples, the lotus is both an ornament and a religious offering.
