There are many reasons a LOTUS is significant. From the perseverance it represents, to the beauty of something that grew in unlikely circumstances – the LOTUS flower has many meanings. Take a sec to read the below to give you a better understanding of why it’s so special.

The lotus is a flower with a wealth of spiritual symbolism tied to Egyptology, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Each culture lends a slightly different take, but the lotus in general is reflective of spiritual awakening, purity, potential, rebirth, creation, and eternity.

“Each day we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” – Buddha

In order to blossom, the lotus flower must grow through mud, dirty pond water, and generally rough conditions—but it blooms anyway. Like the lotus, we too can grow through dark times and difficulties, and we can rise again and again to shine from a pure place within.

The lotus is a reminder that in a word riddled with fear, we can stay loving inside and, one by one, open our petals to spread that peace into the world.
