The answer to everything is within self with the power to grow as a person and not let external factors affect you. Since, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, how is it any different from karma?! Putting it into simpler words, it would be just the mystic law of Cause and Effect, which is exactly what Karma is all about. It is nothing, but science. Buddhism is a philosophy that believes in the Buddha nature of each one of us and because every living organism in this universe is a Buddha, it symbolizes that we all have limitless potential within ourselves that we can even move mountains. All we need to do is devote ourselves to the mystic law of cause and effect. While this Mystic Law cannot be easily explained, it is encapsulated in the Lotus Sutra wherein Shakyamuni Buddha says, that his disciples and future followers can awaken to this law in their own lives. The lotus flower symbolises the law of simultaneity of cause and effect as it blooms and seeds at the same time. The Sutra is a teaching that encourages an active engagement with mundane life and all its challenges. The flower blooms in muddy water, rises above it and turns towards the light (enlightenment). The lotus flower is a symbol of strength, perseverance, fortune and promise in adverse situations life throws at us. The mud that one has to rise above, represents the suffering that all human beings are born into. This suffering is a part of the journey of enlightenment since it is a test that will determine whether or not one is strong enough to break free from the muddy water. It is just a flower, but it is so much more than a flower. The fact that this beautiful flower blooms only from the muddy water reflects that it takes its nourishment from the bad while retaining its purity. It is used as an an*logy for humans to bring forth their wisdom, courage and compas*ion through their adversity challenges and difficulties.
