  • Résumé

  • The White Lotus carries deep significance across spirituality, history, and pop culture. Rooted in Buddhism and Hinduism, it symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and the journey from suffering to spiritual awakening. In Chinese history, the White Lotus Society was a revolutionary group that led uprisings against oppressive rule. The term has also been popularized in modern culture, notably through HBO’s satirical series The White Lotus, which critiques wealth and privilege, and in martial arts cinema, where it represents secretive warrior clans. Whether as a sacred flower, a symbol of rebellion, or a metaphor for hidden corruption, the White Lotus remains a powerful and enduring emblem.
