dc.description.abstractThe lotus, the symbol of Buddhism, essentially represents purity and enlightenment. Based on the Vimalakīrti Nirdeśa Sūtra, a significant Mahāyāna scripture, this study analyses the meaning of the lotus, the attributes of a bodhisattva, and the association between lotus and mud, connoting the intimate, interdependent, and interactive relationships between the concept of bodhisattva and sentient beings, illuminating the dynamic of secular world and pure land, while also dismantling the binary mode of thinking. It elaborates on how the bodhisattva path should be exercised, which leads to bodhisattva altruism. Buddhist altruism and non-duality hint at how individuals cultivate meaningfulness with acceptance and inclusiveness, which elevates happiness in a context of diversity.
