This “Lotus Flower” Ring in silver plating is an exceptional piece of jewellery: it embodies the philosophy and ultimate wisdom of Buddhism.
The lotus flower represents the elevation of the soul, initially purely material through its roots, then experiencing water through its stem, and finally achieving enlightenment and awakening through its flower. Tibetan Buddhists see through the Lotus the true nature of Beings, with the stem representing samsara (cycles of life and death) and the flower symbolising peace and serenity.
Inside the ring, you will see the Heart Sutra, which is an excerpt from the Lotus Sutra. It contains teachings from Buddha. It is one of the most popular sutras.
Everything has an absolute and relative truth. The Heart Sutra teaches these two truths, and it is also called the pure representation of wisdom. Relative truth is the appearance of things, what they physically represent. Absolute truth is the inherent nature of things.
This ring will accompany you every day to remind you of the importance of the journey you have taken.
