A symbol of the spirit

Lotus - the sacred flower of Buddhism surprises scientists around the world, its leaves and petals always remain clean. The flower serves as a symbol of the spirit that has risen above the sensual world, as it retains its spotless white flower, emerging from silty water. This is explained by its rough surface, distinguishable by a microscope, with which all the dirt is washed away by rain.

Lotus flowers are amazingly beautiful and always facing the sun. Purity and beauty are what make it sacred. Although the lotus grows from silty water, it always remains dry, radiates purity and freshness. The reason is the special structure of its petals and leaves: they can repel water and self-clean. Water is collected in drops and drains, while collecting from the sheet everything that can pollute it.
