The Lotus is one of the 8 auspicious symbols and is important to Buddhists because it represents simultaneous cause and effect. This is because it contains the seed and the flower at the same time. It also represents the idea that out of the muddiest swamp can come one of the most beautiful things in the world. This is true of human lives as well.
