No Mud, No Lotus!
The lotus flower is a beloved symbol of non-attachment because even though it sprouts in the mud, grows in the water, and blossoms in the mist and rain - there are no drops on the lotus! Scientifically it’s called the ultra-hydrophobic effect; whereby on a molecular level the plant has let go of the water. It beads up and rolls off.
We are like the lotus: born into suffering, grown up through suffering, and face suffering every day! - and we too can let it bead up and roll off! Freedom is in the release and letting go! Transcend all your suffering, and give thanks to it as you say goodbye! — because like the Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh said; ‘No Mud, No Lotus’!
