＂沒有泥巴，就沒有蓮花”

-一行禪師

?

蓮花是從泥里長出來的，但每一天，當花瓣張開，滴下水珠時，蓮花就完完全全地綻放出來。因此，荷花象征著純潔和心靈的轉(zhuǎn)變。蓮花離根如此之遠，也代表超脫，是修行的必經(jīng)一步。蓮花的金色中心很少出現(xiàn)在禪宗藝術(shù)品中，因為它代表了智慧的難以捉摸的完美。埃及太陽神拉經(jīng)常被描繪成一朵藍色的蓮花。由于蓮花與太陽的聯(lián)系，蓮花象征著重生。

?

鼓舞人心的信息：在你靈性成長的道路上，尊重所有把你帶到這個地方的經(jīng)歷，但放下那些不再為你服務(wù)的東西。

“No mud, no lotus.”

—— Thich Nhat Hanh

?

The lotus flower grows up out of the mud, yet each day as the petals unfurl and shed the droplets of water, the flower emerges perfectly pristine. For this reason, the lotus symbolizes purity and spiritual transformation. With its flower so distant form its roots below the water, the lotus also represents detachment, a necessary step for spiritual enlightenment. The golden center of the lotus is rarely shown in Zen artwork since it represents the elusive perfection of wisdom. The Egyptian sun god Ra is often depicted with a blue lotus. Because of this association with the sun, the lotus signifies rebirth.
