And [1]:

There is no need to avoid the confrontation between the two knives.

A good hand is like a lotus in the fire.

Now it has its own ambitions.

New singing method in vernacular Chinese

In the fourth stage of "two-way learning"

"vacuum" and "wonderful" have long been combined into one.

Enlightened people have the ability to help all beings.

At this time, what the world regards as contradictions and opposites has been unified into one.

It's like when two swords are about to meet, they don't have to avoid it.

(Because they are actually the same person! )

Active in the world, "and" master.

Like a lotus that is still bright and bright in the flame.

In the polluted world, they actively and enthusiastically pull out bitterness and joy for all beings.

Analysis and appreciation

Lotus in Fire is a beautiful literary metaphor and also symbolizes the advanced realm of Buddhism.

In the Vimalakīrti Sutra, Bodhisattva Vimalachi said: "If the Bodhisattva does not follow the Tao, it will achieve the goal of Buddhism and Taoism."

Manjusri Bodhisattva asked him, "Why did the Bodhisattva go astray?"

Bodhisattva Vimola said: "If the Bodhisattva walks five times, there is no trouble ..... It shows greed and separation from others: it shows no obstacles to all sentient beings; Be stupid and calm your heart with wisdom ... "

It means that the bodhisattva with the body of Wukong sometimes deliberately does something unclean in the eyes of the world in order to make all beings have a human touch. For the Bodhisattva himself, there is no distinction between purity and impurity, as long as he can benefit all beings. And the bodhisattva who really has the ability to do this has reached the realm of Buddhism and Taoism!

Therefore, Bodhisattva Vimalachi said, "It is rare to have a lotus in the fire! When you want to meditate, so does rarity. "

Lotus in the fire, representing the enlightened, lives in the void and can transform all beings in the evil world without hindrance.
