As the flower of a lotus,
Arisen in water, blossoms,
Pure-scented and pleasing the mind,
Yet is not drenched by the water,
In the same way, born in the world,
The Buddha abides in the world;
And like the lotus by water,
He does not get drenched by the world.
translated from the Pali by
Andrew Olendzki
Thag 15.2
PTS: Thag 700-701
Lovely, Joseph. Thanks.
