"when raindrops fill a lotus petal, the petal sways for a while with each drop, and when the water has pooled to a certain extent, the petal pours the pure water away without any regret or attachment.

when the water falls onto the leaf below, there again it wells up and rolls right off again, emptying into the stillness of the lotus pond.

the lotus petal takes on only as much weight as it can hold...

the principles for living in the world are exactly the same. "
