X-BCE-process = image/resize, m _ lfit, w _ 450, h _ 600, limit _ 1/quality, q _ 85 Lotus is a common plant with five colors of white, blue, red, purple and yellow, which are called "five kinds of flowers". White and blue are the most popular. But it has a deep relationship with Buddhism. Bodhisattva and Buddhists love it very much. So, do you know its origin?

Avalokitesvara, who is famous for her compassion, sits on the Bai Lianhua in white, holding a pure bottle in one hand and clinging to a Bai Lianhua in the other, which is even more lovable. Guanyin's behavior shows a pure bodhisattva's heart, which fully guides the believers to leave the world and reach the beautiful significance of the pure land of Buddhism where lotus flowers are in full bloom.

When people read the Buddhist scriptures, they often see that the Buddhist scriptures refer to the Buddhist country as the lotus boundary, the temple as the lotus room, the monk's cassock as the lotus dress, the monk's handprint as the lotus fight, and the "rosary" used by the monk is also made of lotus seeds. These are all Buddhist cultures and should not be forgotten. Lotus is closely related to Buddhism and has become a symbol and sacred flower of Buddhism.

1 is related to the characteristics of lotus.

Lotus, known as "out of the mud but not stained". It is a perennial aquatic plant flower, although it is not as elegant as peony, nor as lofty as chrysanthemum. It is this feature that has won the supreme worship of Buddhism. Buddhism often says that "there is nothing, so there is no dust." The world is full of desire and competition, which makes it difficult to be calm and clean. People who believe in Buddhism also want to keep themselves clean and away from secular pollution in order to practice Buddhism.

In the classical literature of ancient India, lotus is often compared to a beautiful girl. For example, the famous epic Ramayana said, "Siddhartha has a woman who looks beautiful, but she is like a lotus root covered with mud, and her shining beauty has never been revealed." In addition, in classical literature, the mother of Buddha Sakyamuni is described as having a pair of big lotus eyes, which endows her with beauty.

The Buddha in everyone's heart and his own zodiac Buddha also correspond to himself. I also hope to invite the Buddha to concentrate on doing good and do more good. Remember not to be hypocritical and disrespectful to the Buddha. Therefore, generally, the base below Guanyin Bodhisattva presents lotus flowers, and there are certain reasons and implications in it.
