"Form is Emptiness" comes from the Heart Sutra, one of Buddhism's most profound teachings. This phrase encapsulates a deep philosophical concept about the nature of reality: that all physical forms (including ourselves, objects, and experiences) are fundamentally "empty" of inherent, permanent existence. However, this isn't a nihilistic emptiness but rather points to how everything is interconnected and in constant flux.

The lotus flower perfectly symbolizes this teaching. The lotus grows from muddy waters to bloom into something beautiful, yet is itself impermanent and "empty" of a fixed essence. Despite its impermanence, its beauty and significance are not diminished—in fact, its transient nature makes it more precious.
