Enllightened One

Enlightened One –

In China and In Buddhist symbolism the lotus is symbolic of
purity of the body, speech, and mind as while rooted in the mud, its flowers blossom on long stalks as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. It is also symbolic of detachment as drops of water easily slide off its petals.  The lotus is the flower of the sixth month and summer. Lotus blossoms are often depicted as a throne for the Buddha, and the lotus is one of the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism.

The lotus closes at night and sinks underwater. In the morning it 
re-emerges and blooms again. Thus the flower became a natural symbol of the sun and creation.

In Japan the lotus is bigger than life, bigger than you and
me. But you too can grasp the essence of the lotus. The lotus flower is revered in Japan for its ability to rise from the dirty, murky waters to bloom into a beautiful pure flower. This process symbolizes attaining enlightenment.

The Egyptians also revered the lotus flower and it symbolized sun and creation.

Of course the lotus is also associated with the seventh
chakra, the Crown Chakra In Sanskrit it is called Sahasrara, which translates to thousand petaled lotus.
