Its all about the Lotus

Uploaded: May 28, 2011

Description

"The lotus flower grows in the pond, which is full of impure water and mud. However, the flower is not contaminated, the flowers blossom above the surface of water, but their stems and roots are still in water and mud. The flower, stem and root of lotus are just like the pure and wonderful doctrine One Buddha Vehicle spoken with the expedient and coarse doctrines of the Two Vehicles and the Three Vehicles in the hierarchy of the Buddha's teachings. Actually, the Two and Three Vehicles finally reveal and converge to One Buddha Vehicle."
