The things too large for words, we have always said in flowers.
Your Dharma Flower
patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ toyaṃ — a leaf, a flower, a fruit, a little water.
A rose where "I love you" isn't enough. Flowers laid where words fail entirely. In the temple, the oldest prayer was never spoken aloud — it was simply a flower, offered. Devotion, grief, longing, reverence, wisdom: the heart has always had a wordless language, and flowers are its alphabet.
This quiz is written in that language. Each flower carries a meaning, and the one that finds you says something true about where your heart is turned right now.
Four Flowers
There are four flowers you might be given to bring. Each carries its own meaning, from the old language of flowers —
Lotus — your love of truth, like the light that opens on the water
Rose — your heart's devotion expressing its highest love
Marigold — your gratitude for life, love and grace
Jasmine — the sweetness found only in your silence
Which is yours today depends on what you bring.
