Fierce flames burn up to the sky

The poem

炎炎烈火焰燒天焰裡還生一朵蓮到底永成根不壞依然枝葉色新鮮

In English

Fierce flames burn up to the sky,yet within the flames a lotus still grows.In the end its roots stay whole and unharmed,and its branches and leaves remain fresh in color.

What it says

Flames roar skyward, yet a lotus grows in the fire. The lotus is a Buddhist symbol of purity and renewal, and the poem says its roots stay sound and its leaves fresh. It encourages keeping inner clarity under hard conditions, and protecting what is most central to you.

A thought to take with you

Under pressure, protect your inner clarity and what matters most to you.
