DESIGN
▴ A gold plated round charm engraved with a blooming lotus image
MEANING
▴ The lotus flower symbolizes beauty, fertility, prosperity, spirituality, and eternity. The flower is considered pure as it is able to emerge from murky waters in the morning and be perfectly clean.
▴ Buddhist studies use the lotus flower in guided meditations. The meditation instructs practitioners to imagine themselves as a tiny lotus seed that is deeply buried in the mud. While the mud is dirty and uncomfortable, the seed's journey is to move calmly through the darkness and into the light. Once the seed completes the journey, it blossoms into the next stage of life. The lotus symbolizes growth and determination.
