a picture of a lotus flower?
that is one picture i decide to post from China?
well, yeah.
the lotus flower is a significant symbol in buddhism.
this picture was taken at a buddhist museum in Nanjing, China.
the lotus represents purity of the mind, body and spirit.
it is a flower which grows up out of the mud of a lake
and blooms into a delicate flower above the surface of the water.
“i love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.”
—confucian scholar, Zhou Dunyi
