"Bamboo is flexible, bending like the wind but never breaking, capable of adapting in any circumstance. It suggests resilience, meaning that we have the ability to bounce back even from the most difficult times." -Ping Fu
Because the bamboo plant can survive harsh winters, blistering summers and fierce storms it is an important symbol of enlightenment in Buddhism. Like the bamboo, enlightenment requires persistence, strength, flexibility and adaptability. The presence of the bamboo also creates a sense of quiet and peace while providing shelter for human and other beings. . . .
Any time you face a major life obstacle, bring to mind the bamboo and its ability to adapt, adjust, survive and thrive. Do the same.
