The lotus flower symbolises creation, birth, liveability and reproduction and therefore it's one of the most important symbols in both Korean culture and its traditional religions.
In both Confucianism and Buddhism the lotus flower is seen as a symbol of honest poverty and virtue associated with an aloofness.
Poverty and virtue come from the fact that lotus flowers grow in muddy and dirty waters and yet it still has such beauty.
It makes no pretence of being better than it is and yet it's naturally beautiful.in Korean culture that is placed on ensuring everything possible is done to encourage the positive aspects of life.
When the lotus flower is depicted on an object and given to a young couple along with two mandarin ducks it symbolises happiness for the young couple and its one of the traditions that is still practiced in modern Korea today.
In Buddhism the lotus is a symbol of the true nature of beings, which remains unstained by the mud of the world and is realized through enlightenment. Traditionally the lotus (``padma'') is a very important symbol in India and for Buddhism. The lotus has been ascribed with special meaning since the time of ancient Indian mythology.
The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. The flower closes and sinks underwater at night, to rise and open again at dawn. Untouched by impurity, the lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind.
Especially, in such Mahayana Buddhist texts as the Lotus Sutra, the lotus flower is emphasized as a symbol of the bodhisattva. The bodhisattva is the model practitioner in the Mahayana tradition that dedicates his or her life entirely to the salvation of other beings.
Just as lotus plants are rooted in the bottom of shallow, murky ponds, but their beautiful blossoms rise above the water, the bodhisattva likewise forgoes nirvana to remain in the muck of samsara (the cycle of birth and death) for the sake of saving living beings. They remain pure in mind and free from suffering because they realize the Sunyata (emptiness) of all Dharmas (phenomena) and thus remain unattached to them.
The lotus flower is an apt metaphor for our own spiritual path and the action of a bodhisattva. The lotus represents the fact that even if we are ignorant, we should have hope and perseverance in our practice to become a bodhisattva and, eventually realize that we are already Buddhas _ though we don't know it. ¹

영어의 로터스는 연과 수련을 함께 취급한다. 나일강가에서 피는 이집트인의 신성한 로터스는 수련이고 그리스 신화에서 식연인(lotus eater)이 먹은 로터스는 벌노랑종류이다. 인디안로터스(Indian lotus)는 연이며 인도의 고대 민속에서 여성의 생식을 상징하고 다산(多産), 힘과 생명의 창조를 나타낸다. 또한 풍요·행운·번영·장수·건강 및 명예의 상징 또는 대지와 그 창조력, 신성 및 영원불사의 상징으로도 삼았다. 인도에서는 BC 3000년경으로 추정되는 연꽃의 여신상(女神像)이 발굴되었고, 바라문교(婆羅門敎)의 경전에는 이 여신이 연꽃 위에 서서 연꽃을 쓰고 태어났다는 기록이 있다.
불교의 출현에 따라 연꽃은 부처님의 탄생을 알리려 꽃이 피었다고 전하며, 불교에서의 극락세계에서는 모든 신자가 연꽃 위에 신으로 태어난다고 믿었다. 인도에서는 여러 신에게 연꽃을 바치며 신을 연꽃 위에 앉히거나 손에 쥐어주며, 불교에서도 부처상이나 스님이 연꽃 대좌에 앉는 풍습이 생겼다. 중국에서는 불교 전파 이전부터 연꽃이 진흙 속에서 깨끗한 꽃이 달리는 모습을 속세에 물들지 않는 군자의 꽃으로 표현하였고 종자가 많이 달리는 현실을 다산의 징표로 하였다. 중국에 들어온 불교에서는 극락세계를 신성한 연꽃이 자라는 연못이라고 생각하여 사찰 경내에 연못을 만들기 시작하였다.¹
