Não basta abrir a janela
Para ver os campos e o rio.
Não é bastante não ser cego
Para ver as árvores e as flores.

HASU 蓮
The Japanese word for the lotus flower is hasu 蓮 and it means purity of soul. This flower is born in darkness and mud: it comes to the surface clean, opens when hit by the sun's rays and closes again when darkness comes. It symbolises rebirth in a world contaminated by impurities. A sacred flower for Buddhism and Hinduism, it represents the integrity of the body, speech and spiritual elevation.
