Lotus Blossom

Hundreds of them line the shores...row after row their stalks rise above the green floating islands. Soft yellow petals flutter in the summer breeze. An entire community bustles beneath their shadows.




"As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises 
out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, 
live unsoiled by the world."
~Buddha
