Happy Vesak Day
Selamat Hari Wesak
In Buddhism, lotus and water lilies are associated with purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean. It is also known to symbolize purity of speech, of the body, and of the mind.
These plants are important in the aquatic ecosystem, the flowers and pads provide shade above the water, keeping it cooler and preventing algae that thrive in heat from growing in excess. It also helps shelter fish swimming beneath them from the heat of the sun and predatory birds.
