Chop wood, carry water
[The lotus flower is a symbol for enlightenment. Its roots are sunken in silt and debris, yet it grows out of that debris through the water and emerges into the bright sunlight as a beautiful, perfect, fragrant flower. It does not grow out of a pure, rarefied atmosphere, but from decayed matter, from the very stuff of our lives.]
Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
