What flowers does Buddha use?

What flowers can be used to worship Buddha, mainly sincerity, but lotus is the best.

Lotus has a deep relationship with Buddhism. It can be said that where there is Buddhism, there is lotus. We often see buddhas and bodhisattvas sitting or standing on the lotus platform, some holding lotus flowers and some holding lotus flowers. They look as peaceful and compassionate as lotus flowers. Lights and candles for Buddha are often made into the shape of lotus flowers.

Lotus is a symbol often mentioned and seen in Buddhist classics and Buddhist art. Buddhism has an indissoluble bond with lotus, and the main reasons for its special liking are as follows:

1, Buddhism believes that the lotus represents innocence, purity, modesty (high wind and bright festival), "emerging from the mud without being stained, clear without being demon" (Zhou Dunyi's Ailian), showing the qualities of firmness, purity, innocence and integrity, and showing elegance in a low-key manner.

Lotus blooms in the water in hot summer. Water represents calmness, and heat represents irritability.

3. All sentient beings in the three realms, whether viviparous or oviparous, are supported by lust, while pure land saints are transformed by lotus flowers. Therefore, lotus represents pure merit and cool wisdom, and represents pure dharma body and solemn report.

However, no matter what kind of flowers are used for offering Buddha, attention should be paid to the purity and solemnity of the flowers, but they can also be trimmed. For example, some flowers can be pruned earlier, but don't throw them into the trash can immediately after withering. Flowers can be placed on the roots.
