Myth: The close relationship between lotus and Buddhism is also manifested in the fact that Buddhism takes many beautiful and sacred things as metaphors and lotus as its representative. In Buddhist stories, the mother of Buddha Sakyamuni has a pair of lotus-like beautiful and clear eyes. When the Buddha was born, there were eight auspicious signs in the palace. The most important one was that Bai Lianhua suddenly grew as big as a wheel in the pool. When the Buddha was born, thousands of golden lights were emitted from the root of his tongue, and each golden light turned into a white lotus in Chiba. In every lotus flower, there is a little bodhisattva cross-legged.

There are countless Buddhist sayings that use lotus as a metaphor. Buddha is called "Lotus" or "Lotus"; Stumbling posture, that is, the posture with legs crossed, feet on opposite thighs and feet up, is called lotus sitting posture; The western paradise advocated by Buddhism is likened to the realm of pure lotus, so it is called "Lianbang"; The Buddhist scene described in Amitabha Sutra is: "There are seven treasure pools in Elysium, Ba Ding Shui ... the lotus in the pool is as big as a wheel." Therefore, it is called "the country of lotus"; Buddhist temples are called "Lotus Temple". "brake" is Sanskrit, that is, the pure land of the west, and lotus is entrusted by previous lives, so it is called "lotus brake"; People who recite Buddhism are called "lotus fetuses", that is, they live in lotus, as in their mother's womb; The Buddha's eye is called "lotus eye", and utpala is used to compare the beauty of the Buddha's eye; The lotus with eight leaves on its chest is called "Lotus Palace", that is, the lotus-like realm in its heart; Sakyamuni's hand is called "Lotus Hand"; Monks and nuns are called "Lotus Ring"; Monks and nuns' robes are called "lotus clothes", which means clean and free from impurities; The wonderful observation wisdom among the five intelligences is called "lotus wisdom"; Call people who are good at saying things "lotus on the tip of the tongue"; It is said that it is asceticism and joy is "returning to the house to have a lotus"; The Buddhist sutra "The Lotus Sutra" is called "Hokkekyo" for short, which is a metaphor of lotus and symbolizes the purity and elegance of teachings. The earliest Buddhist association in China, founded by Hui Yuan of Tuolin Temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is called "Lotus Society". The pure land Sect of Buddhism advocates reaching the pure land of lotus in the west through practice, so it is also called "Lotus Sect". In a word, lotus has an indissoluble bond with Buddhism, and many places are represented by lotus. It can be said that lotus is Buddha and Buddha is lotus.
