Spotlight on the Lotus Flower

                                               

The Lotus is one of the most commonly found flowers in Thailand. In the Buddhist tradition, the lotus flower is a symbol of the spiritual path a person takes through life. The growing lotus symbolizes purification of the mind, body and speech. The lotus grows bright from muddy waters, up to the clean surface and blooms into something of rich beauty. A blooming lotus symbolizes complete enlightenment. 

In Feng Shui the lotus is considered one of the Eight Precious Objects that brings every kind of good fortune and encourages spiritual development.
