Description:
The earth plays a crucial symbolic role to achieve the highest transcendental meditative state in Buddhism that is often symbolized with a lotus flower. When we can learn, grow from past mistakes, and let go of the control from all pain and sufferings that are imposed on us, we will be able to attain the highest level of eternally blissful meditative state and become free.
The earth or mud symbolizes all human sufferings such as disease, evil, and pain. The mud is dirty, impure, and often ugly. But yet, it’s also full of micro-organisms and insects that can decompose and regenerate living plants, such as the unexpected beautiful lotus flowers we see in this painting. The earth is a powerful energy force that is full of nutrients. The mud can naturally help breakdown and decompose the old and help us welcome new life, lead to true happiness, and possibly create the rebirth of new beginnings.
Here, the mud, or simply, painful sufferings, serves as huge lessons learned as we continue the life journey. All mankind’s misfortune and illness, as one encounter in life can teach big powerful life lessons. Hopefully, one can learn, grow, and breakthrough, so one can practice detachment of the outcome and become free.
When we are ready to learn from past mistakes and let go, we can continue to blossom like these elegant blissful lotus flowers and continue to smile and glow again.
(Chinese Translation)
出於污泥而不染、浸淫於極樂中的的蓮花可算是最高的禪修景界。淨土於燦爛的蓮花起著重要的象徵作用,因它代表著人世間的苦難以及我們於生活中可能面臨的壞惡事情。淨土對於佛教的禪修起著至關鍵的象徵作用。禪修常以蓮花為代表。當我們可從過去的錯誤中吸取教訓,及擺脫痛苦,我們將能夠達到最高的禪修冥想狀態並獲得自由。
大地或泥土象徵著人世間的疾苦。泥土是骯髒的,不純潔且醜陋的,它充滿了微生物和昆蟲。但淨土也可淨化、分解、和再生植物,而得到解脱。例如創造意想不到地美好的蓮花。
不論淨土丶疾病丶或苦難,都会為我們帶來極大的痛苦。我們於生活中遇到的所有痛苦和厄運可以給予重大的磨練,我們可以從中汲取教訓,從而不受苦難操控。淨土是大自然中一種充滿營養的強大能量。淨土可幫助分解和排解舊的能量,並助我們迎接重生的機会。
當我們從過去的錯誤中吸取教訓並学懂放下時,我們或可像這些優雅可愛的蓮花一樣於淨土中繼續綻放微笑丶並煥發光芒。
