Description
Water Lily The Lotus flower is symbolic of rebirth, but in addition to its religious meaning, the lotus is also a symbol of all that is true, good and beautiful, representing good fortune, peace and enlightenment. Lotuses or water lilies are often portrayed in Chinese and Japanese art and traditional woodblock prints. Indian art and carving also, has the lotus flower as a prominent reoccurring design motif. Lotus flowers have strong symbolic ties to many Asian religions especially in India. Within Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. The meaning varies slightly between the religions, but essentially both religious traditions place importance on the lotus flower. In modern times the meaning of a lotus flower links closely with the religious symbolism and meaning. A lotus represents life in general. As the lotus flower grows up from the mud into an object of great beauty, people also grow and change into something more beautiful.
