Growing from the Mud - The Lotus by Ratnaprabha

A slideshow on the symbolism of the Lotus in Buddhism – why do Buddhas sit on lotuses? What's the significance of the Lotus in the pure land Sukhavati? How do lotuses come into the Buddha's decision to teach? What about the origins of Zen when the Buddha simply held up a flower? Talk at the north London Buddhist Centre Saturday morning class, 14 February 2025.
