Lucky Blue Lotus Prosperity Necklace

Blue lotus flowers are captivating and hard to find. They mean wisdom, knowledge, ability to control things over emotions, worldly aspirations, and senses.

The blue lotus symbolizes the pursuit of understanding or greater knowledge, and ultimately – greater wisdom.

 

The blue lotus (Nilotpala), which is always shown closed, "is a special symbol for Mahayana Buddhists to describe the potential of beings to realize their inherent Buddha-nature, which can then 'blossom' into full bodhisattva-hood." (In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a person who is able to reach Nirvana but delays it out of compassion in order to help others.)

Blue lotus flowers are extremely rare and they also have special meaning.  It also symbolizes clarity of thought and, in Buddhism, overcoming attachments to desires and emotions that hinder our growth.

The Lotus is Full of Amazing Symbolism

There’s a lot of meaning associated with the lotus, springing from the flower’s life cycle and environment. Here are the main associations:

Purity

Although the lotus blooms in dirt and muck, it’s able to lift its head above all this and appear beautiful and pure. Miraculously, the flower never appears dirty or muddy even though it’s rooted in mud.

Like the lotus, then, regardless of your origins, it’s possible to rise above and carve out your own space without stooping low. Wearing the symbol is a constant reminder of your commitment to your values.

Integrity

The lotus is a reminder to be true to your values and faithful to what you hold dear, as it stands alone. Even though the path may be difficult, and you may be alone, it’s worth holding onto your values.

Tenacity

The lotus appears delicate and fragile, and yet its roots are tough and go deep into the mud. This signifies tenacity, holding on and never giving up. Regardless of how difficult life gets, it’s important to keep fighting and to thrive.

Origins

Although the lotus rises above the mire, it remains firmly rooted in place. This keeps it strong and stable. Wearing the lotus symbol is a reminder of the importance of your roots and where you come from, regardless of what or where they are.

Independence and Strength

The lotus shows independence and strength in its ability to rise above the water and stand on its own to bloom as it wishes. Wearing the lotus symbol is a sign of independence and confidence that comes from knowing that no matter what, you’ll tread your own path and to do it with style.

Detachment

The mud and mess that a lotus blooms in could signify the world, material desires, and the enslavement to these desires. The lotus symbolizes detachment as it isn’t a part of this environment, instead choosing to remain detached.

The Blue Lotus in Buddhism is the symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom, of knowledge. It is generally represented as a partially opened bud, whose center is unseen, the embodiment of the “perfection of wisdom”. The Blue Lotus of the Nile was the most sacred of plants, prized above all others. The plant was associated with the sun god Ra as the bringer of light.
