The Lotus
In this lyrical writing on the beauty of the lotus, Zhen Ru reminds us of the transformative power we have within, and the boundless possibilities it brings. Though its life begins in the mud, its destiny is not bound by the sludge around it. Instead, it rises and blossoms into splendid purity and sublimity. Just like the lotus, if we plant our roots in the words of the wise, and nourish our hearts with faith and cou rage, won't we flourish into a world of wonder, too?
