A symbol of purity and divine birth, the lotus flower grows in mud at the bottom of a pool, but rises above the surface becoming a beautiful flower. Buddhists teach this is how people should rise above the dukkha, or suffering. Also, the beautiful flower soon withers and dies. This teaches of impermanence in the material world.
