35.Rainbow Lotus-The Lotus flower (Sanskrit padma) is an ancient Buddhist symbol of enlightenment. The Chakra energy centers are seen as Lotus flowers in many Buddhist texts. The roots of the lotus are in mud, the stem grows through the water, and the flower rises above the water basking in the sun. The lotus is a powerful symbol of a soul’s journey though the “mud of materialism,” the “waters of experience,” and finally reaching to the “light of enlightenment.”
