Kuan Yin and Water

Lotus flowers represent purity and wisdom, whose roots begin in the depths of muddy ponds, rivers, or lakes. They rise to the surface each morning and bloom into beautiful flowers. At night they submerge again, only to re-emerge each morning in full glorious bloom. This daily baptism and rebirth continue throughout the flower's life cycle.
The Practice
I began a regular devotional practice to Kuan Yin by offering flower bowls filled with water and prayers.
