From the seed spring two opposing lotus blossoms, representing the dual nature of reality as perceived consciously.
The lotus flowers that come from the seed represent the projections of what our highest potential can be in our normal day-to-day lives.
The mandala is the outer circle of the lotus flower, usually symbolizing wisdom. Buddha nature lies within, but is sometimes hidden from us because of misunderstanding and lack of control in our lives.
"Indicated by a symbol of eternal strength and constancy,The dorje heart of knowledge and emptiness is like the sky How wonderful to see the intrinsic face of reality!"
Translation of Tibetan verse, Acts of the Buddha
