Roger's Lotus—Canvas Wrapped Photograph
The lotus has important and powerful meaning in Buddhist teaching. Because the lotus grows in muddy water, it symbolizes the purity of enlightened mind arising amidst the suffering of samsara. It also represents nonattachment, as it is rooted in mud (attachment and desire) but its flowers blossom on long stalks unsullied by the mud below.
The famous Tibetan mantra OM MANI PADME HUM, meaning “OM the Jewel in the Lotus HUM,” invokes Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara), the bodhisattva of compassion. In this case, the lotus represents wisdom and the jewel symbolizes skillful means.
This lovely photograph was taken by Roger Brandt, who gifted the image to his friend and NDF member, Suzanne Harvey. She is donating the finished product to the Auction.
