Buddha used the lotus flower as an analogy of how a persons mind can be transformed and reach serenity. He said that the lotus starts its life in the mud of the river, but slowly seeks the sunshine and finally rises above the river into bloom. Our minds are like that, until we work to free oursleves from conflicted emotions and desires and reach the serenity of nirvana, we are stuck in the mud of samsara, which is this crazy world of illusions.
