    Smiling Lotus
    After an exhaustive internet search on lotus flowers, I finally found one that I liked...the smiling lotus, or 'Han Xiao Lian'. I must acknowledge the talented tattoo artist at Flesh Skin Grafix, http://www.fleshskingrafix.com for creating such a RAD and realistic looking lotus.

    The Buddhist Lotus Sutra speaks of the pure white lotus rising from the waters of a muddy pond. "This analogy illustrates the attainment of a pure and empowered state of life in the midst of the sometimes degrading realities of human society. In this way, the bodhisattva never tries to escape from reality, never leaves suffering people unsaved and plunges into the turbulent waters of life in the effort to help each person drowning in suffering onto the great vessel of happiness”. (May 1998 Living Buddhism, p. 32).
