Sukhothai ponds are full of lotus flowers. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech and mind, as if floating above the murky waters of material attachment and physical desire. In Tantric and Yogic traditions it symbolizes the realization of inner potential to harness the flow of energy moving through the chakras. Sukhothai, Thailand.
