The place of the elephant in Asia

In Asia, theelephant is an animal sacred. He is one of the most powerful symbols of peace, of prosperity and of chance. He is the embodiment of self -control and strong mind.

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.
