LOTUS

12"x9.5" / 30x24 cm

The immaculate lotus grows in muddy swamps just as an enlightened being arises from the contaminated world, unstained by its pollutants. In the same way, our own enlightenment will arise from the mud of our samsaric lives, our buddha nature shining pure, luminous, and uncontaminated by the ignorance and karma in which it is now blanketed.
