the lotus mud

The roots of a lotus are in the mud; the stem grows up through the water, and the flower lies above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. Though there are other water plants that bloom above the water, it is only the lotus which, owing to the strength of its stem, rises eight inches above the surface.

Emptiness

November 18, 2008 10:56 PM Filed in: Interbeing

Thank you for all the e-mails I’ve gotten regarding my blog. My thoughts over the past few months have centered on the idea of emptiness.

Emptiness is Form. Form is Emptiness. You are, therefore I am.

In peace...
