The Lotus: A symbol of Buddhist Philosophy in the Saddharma-pu??arika Sutra

Nguyen Ngoc Tho [3]


Abstract: The Lotus Sutra, the Lord Buddha used the lotus as an example for the Wonderful Dharma. The Wonderful Dharma is One vehicle and One vehicle is Buddha-nature. Buddha-nature is the enlightenment that is inherent to all beings. However, all beings are drifting in the muddy of samsara, but Buddhahood in them not only does not lose, but it is not polluted. When conditions are sufficient, that Buddha-nature will arise and attain enlightenment. Also, such as a lotus flower, though submerged in mud, when enough condition and timely, will bloom a pure, immaculate fragrance. Therefore this sutta used the Lotus as an example for One vehicle morality or Buddha-nature.
