The lotus grows through the mud but isn’t identified with it. She rises to bloom above the water untouched by the mud. In the same way we can grow through suffering not identifying with it, not victimized by it, seeing clearly and meeting challenges with a compassionate heart/mind. It takes practice to do this. Meditation helps as does joining a spiritual community and going on retreats. #thichnhathanh #compassion #mindfulnessmeditation #retreatpractice #noblesilence https://www.instagram.com/p/CZVpmAVM5Mu/?utm_medium=tumblr
