[padma]/ Lotus. It symbolizes the purity of a Bodhisattva's motive, just as a lotus blooms unblemished upon the mire of a swamp, a Bodhisattva remains in cyclic existence without being polluted by its negative aspects. The white lotus in particular symbolizes the pure nature of discriminative wisdom analyzing the nature of reality.
