"No mud no lotus" spelled out in cut-out recycled iron script, with small hand-painted lotus flowers at each joint and five brass-toned bells strung below on twisted cord. The phrase, from Thich Nhat Hanh, points to growth that is rooted in difficulty rather than in spite of it. Hang it by a front door, on a covered porch, or above a meditation seat, where each passing breeze sets the bells moving.

Details

Design: Cut-out recycled iron wall hanging spelling 'no mud no lotus' in flowing script, with hand-painted lotus flowers at each joint and five brass-toned bells suspended below
Size: Approximately 14" wide x 18" tall, including the hanging bells
Material: Recycled iron script and frame, brass-finished bells, pink and turquoise glass bead accents, twisted cord hanger
Care: Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and keep away from excess moisture to protect the recycled metal finish
Included: Ring hanger for wall mounting
Note: Handcrafted from recycled metal, so slight edge warping, minor variation in bead color and bell placement, and a small offset in the lettering once mounted are natural and expected
Origin: Fair trade, handmade in India

Meaning & Intention

"No mud, no lotus" is one of Thich Nhat Hanh's most quoted teachings, and it points to something the flower itself proves. The lotus does not bloom in spite of the mud, it blooms because of it, its roots reaching into murky water to feed a clean open bloom above.

As a wall chime, the phrase becomes something you live alongside rather than read once. Each pass of the breeze sets the bells moving, marking the idea that difficulty and growth are often the same ground.

The small lotus flowers cut into the metal at each turn of the lettering echo this, blooms rising out of the dark ironwork itself.

Essence & Elements

Chakra connection: Crown chakra (Sahasrara), the lotus's traditional seat of awakening

Ideal for: Anyone moving through a hard season, or as an encouragement or sympathy gift

Suggested mantra: From mud, the lotus blooms

Questions & Guidance

Can it hang outdoors, like on a porch?

Yes, though since it is made of recycled iron, a covered porch or eave will help it hold up better over time than full weather exposure.

How loud are the bells?

The five brass bells give off a soft, gentle chime in the breeze rather than a loud clang, so it sits well near a doorway, porch, or reading corner.

Where is a good place to hang it?

By a front door, on a covered porch, or above a meditation cushion. Anywhere a passing breeze can reach it, so the bells and the phrase come into play as you move through the day.
