Overcome craving...like water falling off a lotus leaf




Whoever is overcome by this wretched and sticky craving, his sorrows grow like grass after the rains.

But whoever overcomes this wretched craving, so difficult to overcome, from him sorrows fall away
* like water from a lotus leaf.

-Dhammapada


(
*water does not "stick" to the lotus leaf)
