The lotus is one of our favorite flowers—and it’s an important symbol in Tibetan Buddhism! The lotus plant takes root in muddy water, with a long stem rising out of the muck to produce a beautiful flower. In the Buddhist tradition, this symbolizes the purity of an enlightened mind rising above the muck of samsara, something the show’s characters might need some help with. Show us your best lotus design! Screenshot this image and digitally draw your own lotus in the blank space, or draw a lotus IRL! Tag us in your lotus drawings on Instagram or stories, and we’ll re-share some of them throughout the day! This year we’re bringing back #GetToKnowTheRubin with a month of Rubin-focused games! Celebrate the past 20 years of sharing our collection of Himalayan art, and look toward the Museum’s exciting future with a new challenge or game every Monday and Friday.
