Lotus

The Buddhist cosmology reveals Lotus to be the first flower bloomed in the beginning of this cosmic world. The Lotus symbolise eternity, purity and prosperity. It is always clean and pure and usually grows in the cool and clean water. Although it comes out mud and water it is not spoiled by the soil nor it is soaked with water. It blooms above the surface of the water so elegantly that it beautifies the entire pool. The blossom floats above the water dancing up and down, in accordance with the changing current.
