LOTUS WELLNESS
About our name
Buddhist value: ‘Like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water surface, we can rise above our defilements and sufferings of life.’ Love Lotus or ‘Ngoi Lin’ is Melanie’s Chinese given name – her Cantonese mother chose it from Chinese classical literature. Her name serves as a reminder of this Buddhist value, to realise that the mud of life nourishes and teaches us our most important lessons, that love is the only true solution to any problem because unconditional love and true compassion are one and the same.
