Happy Philippine Independence Day! 🪷🇵🇭
The idea that Utpala could eventually spend a good time with the village she caused the creation of amuses me. (Let me dream.)
PADMA (Lotus)
padma is a lotus which may be of any colour except blue. the blue lotus is designated ba the word utpala or nilotpala in tantric works the padama is the day lotus, while utpala stands for the night lotus. it is regraded as especial sacred by all classes of indians. when the lotus shows petalsin both the upper and lower directions it is called the viswapadma or the double lotus. padma indicates purity of descent. in buddhist tradition it symbolises self creation (hence it is the sign of swayambhu). in vajrayana it represents the female principle. white open padma appears above the left shoulder of avalokiteswara padmapani, his spiritual parents are dhyani buddha amitabha and white tara.
