The lotus flower is one of the most ancient & deepest symbols of our planet. The lotus flower grows in muddy water & rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes & sinks underwater, at dawn it rises & opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart & mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor & good luck. Lamps are a conspicuous feature of Tibetan Buddhist temples & monasteries throughout the Himalayas. The light help to focus the mind & aid meditation. According to the Root Tantra of Chakrasamvara, "If you wish for sublime realization, offer hundreds of lights". The monks in the monastery manage the actual lamps, taking extreme care to avoid starting one of the devastating fires which have damaged many monasteries over the years. For safety, lamps are sometimes restricted to a separate courtyard enclosure with a stone floor. Externally, the lights are seen to banish darkness. Conceptually, they convert prosaic substance into illumination, a transformation akin to the search for enlightenment. Esoterically, they recall the heat of the tummo yoga energy of the Six Yogas of Naropa. An amulet protects a person from trouble, brings good luck & protection to its owner.
