Lotus sutra : meaning

THE Lotus sutra is one of the most important sacred texts in Mahāyāna Buddhism. It is considered the great final teaching of the Buddha, complete and sufficient for salvation. He encourages each person to undertake a deep inner transformation By committing to support others and to contribute positively to society.

This teaching claims that awakening is accessible to all, such as the lotus flower which develops in a muddy and muddy environment (difficulties of daily life) to flourish above water (awakening) and Become a symbol of purity, beauty and nobility.

THELotus sutra is therefore the expression of a universal humanism, which erects in supreme value the character sacred of the life.

Lotus meaning and symbol

For many years, the lotus has always been a divine symbol In Hindu and Buddhist traditions. It symbolizes divine beauty, the purity of the body, the word and the mind, since it floats and flourishes above the marshy and muddy waters of attachment and desire.

The particularity of the lotus is that the seed and the flower appear together. The symbolism of lotus in Buddhism is also the simultaneity of the cause (the seed) and the effect (the flower) in the law of causality of the universe, which is one of the major concepts of Buddhist philosophy.

The lotus draws its vital substance from the mud and then flourish above the water. The mud represents suffering, disorders, desires, which are the very soil of our development. It is therefore possible to transform your karma through illumination, the damage of Buddheity, thanks to our awakening to the causal law.
