Several reasons!
*I follow a mostly-Buddhist form of spirituality.
*I have a tramp stamp (tattoo on my lower back) of a pink lotus -- not very tantric, this body art, but I have piercings too, so... meh.
*I go by "Lotus" or "LotusSutra" on most forums I join, if at all possible.
My real name is Jamie. Namaste, everyone.
