Water lotus blooms in the botanical garden ~ I am intoxicated by the gentleness of bowing my head

The most touching thing is the gentleness of lowering the head, like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze, saying take care, saying take care, and there is sweet sorrow in that take care - Sayonara! - Xu Zhimo The lotus is probably the purest flower in the world. It grows in the mud but is not stained by dust. It grows in the pond water without being coquettish or charming. Wherever there is water, there are lotus flowers standing in the water, standing tall and pure without any branches or vines. In early summer, it is a blessing for everyone to meet a pond of lotus. The Avatamsaka Sutra states: One flower is a world, one leaf is a bodhi, the lotus is silent, yet has its own Zen meaning. In the clear water of the botanical garden in early summer, amidst the bustle and noise, there is a sense of self-confidence and coolness. In the quiet artistic conception, lotus flowers bloom. The years are enriched by the quietness. Quietness is the intoxication of the heart and the gentleness of bowing one’s head!
