I am thinking about getting a tattoo of a red lotus flower, b/c to my understanding it means compassion and love and all things having to do with the heart. Is this correct? Could anyone verify this, and perhaps give me a more in depth description of what a red lotus might mean? thanks :)
What specifically does the red lotus mean in Buddhism?
Think about it. Tattoos are rather permanent. Try a temporary first. Most Tatoo parlors would be glad to give you one. It lasts about 1 year, unless you really scrub the area with special soap.
Reply:red represents passion and love, Lotus is also the position in meditation.
Reply:Red Lotus-
This symbolizes the original nature of the heart (hrdaya). It is the lotus of love, compassion, passion, activity and all the qualities of the heart. It is the lotus of Avalokitesvara.
