The lotus flower grows in muddy water & rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes & sinks underwater, at dawn it rises & opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart & mind. The lotus flower symbolises the complete purification of the defilements of the body, speech, mind, & the full blossoming of wholesome deeds in blissful liberation. The roots of a lotus are in the mud, the stem grows up through the water & the heavily scented flower lies pristinely above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience & into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. The lotus flower symbolises purity & divine birth. Buddhist say this is how people should rise above everything which is dukkha. A flower may be very beautiful & have a wonderful scent, but it soon withers & dies. This shows that nothing in life is perfect. The lotus has its roots in the mud, Grows up through the deep water, And rises to the surface. It blooms into perfect beauty & purity in the sunlight. It is like the mind unfolding to perfect joy & wisdom. Amulets protect a person from trouble & bring good luck to its owner. Dakini Designed Amulet for Protection from negative influences.
