“Lotus” Companion Chopsticks

According to Buddhist legend, immediately after the Buddha’s birth he took seven steps, and lotus flowers bloomed where his feet touched the ground. This story symbolizes the sacred place the lotus holds within Buddhism.

The lotus, blooming in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, represents purity and spiritual cleansing. Its beauty and clarity are reflected in its symbolic meaning: “sacred.” Emerging from muddy waters yet producing an immaculate flower, the lotus is revered as a symbol of maintaining a pure heart even in adversity.

Thus, the lotus carries profound Buddhist significance, its sanctity shining through in its symbolism and cultural reverence.
