Story:
From the very beginning, flowers signified the coming of enlightenment for when the Buddha was born, it was said heaven and earth trembled and flowers rained from the skies. From that point on, flowers became one of the eight Buddhist offerings. They are frequently left at Buddhist temple altars as tokens of reverence and esteem. They reflect to the giver as symbols of generosity and opened heart. And in displayed in one’s home it is a reminder of the ongoing circle of life and death that never ends. Or one can simply drink in the beauty that only nature can create. Namaste.
