The exhibition is titled “Golden Lotus Blossoming from the Earth”. This collection delves into the mystical world of Buddhist legends, where golden lotuses bloom from the earth, and the skies are adorned with celestial flowers. The golden lotus, a revered symbol in Buddhism, represents the sacred lotus found at the feet of Buddha and Bodhisattvas in statues. The concept "If there is a lotus flower in the heart, there will be a lotus everywhere" embodies profound spiritual teachings.
