Lotusflower

Like a lotus flower, we have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom from the darkness and shine into the world 

In many spiritual traditions, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech, and mind. Despite growing in the mud, the flower remains untouched by it, symbolizing how a person can maintain inner purity and clarity even in the midst of challenging or impure circumstances.

In Buddhism, the lotus is especially important because it symbolizes the potential for spiritual growth and enlightenment. The lotus’s ability to rise above the murky waters represents the journey of the soul through suffering and ignorance, emerging into the light of wisdom and Nirvana (spiritual enlightenment).
