Meaning of Lotus Flowers in Buddhism

One of our new friends asked me about the meaning of the lotus flowers in Buddhism.
Lotus flowers are symbolic flowers on Buddhism and it symbolized our understanding of what it means to be humans and buddhas.

What an interesting phylosophy✨
but i would really like to ask, we know that not all lotus flowers will bloom perfectly beautiful right? What if the lotus flower are already in the muddy yucky mud but still not blooming beautifully and there are some defects, what should be done?
Btw i really love all your videos, it’s very insightful to me hope you always healthy🙏

Thank you for your comment. I am still in the process of on-going practice... which never ends.
The yuckiness of the muddy water is said to be only a notion with its absolute value separate from our relative notion of right and wrong or good and bad.
One of my friends who is also a missionary suggested I should try and share the teachings we learn from our school a bit more constantly... so let me know if there is anything I can do to better serve the people like you here.
Thank you. Please take care!
