The Lotus Blossom symbolizes the causality of the spiritual life.

Rising up from the mud of the swamp (the physical world, the body)
Growing up through its murky waters (the world of sensory desire & emotions)
Penetrating the air (the mental world of thoughts and ideas) and
Aspiring towards the light of the sun¹ (the spiritual illumination, the Dharma)
It blossoms into a pure white flower (S. Pundarika is the white lotus).
It thus represents the Four Virtues of Nirvana personified by the Four Bodhisattvas
Leading the countless Bodhisattvas that spring up from the earth.

The Lotus Blossom symbolizes the insperability of the cause & effect, the provision & reality, and the source & manifestation of enlightenment.

Yeah yeah I know … a little deep, but I am feeling deep right now, thus the choice in blog name.

However, I promise many shallow moments to come… for your entertainment only of course. I aim to please the general public…

But truly I am deep. Deep like the grave you buried your Aunt’s cat in that summer when you accidentally shot it with the b.b. gun.

Guess what? We all know. Even Uncle Norman.
