"如水珠滑落莲叶，似水滴落红莲，不沾不附，圣者于所见、所闻、所感亦然。"
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
Think about how water behaves when it lands on a lotus leaf; it doesn't stick but rolls off easily. This quote is talking about a wise person who lives life in a similar way. Just like the water, they don't get attached to what they see, hear, or feel. For example, when they listen to someone’s praise or criticism, they don't let it control their happiness or peace of mind. They observe things, understand them, but don't let these experiences cling to them or affect their inner calm. Practicing this can help someone stay balanced and content, no matter what life throws at them.
