The Way of the Lotus (Prof. W.S. Karunaratne)


The lotus symbolizes the Buddhist way of life. It is born in the depths of the impure mud. It grows through the unclean waters of the pond. It blossoms forth in all its multi petalled purity and glory on the surface of the pond. In spite of its unclean origin and surrounding its beauty pleases the eye, and its purity chastens the mind and spirit of the onlooker.
