"Isn’t Bu Yong another name for the lotus flower? All which lives, is buried under the lotus flower. A lotus must die in the ground to become a flower again. So it will live when it dies. Even if the flower is alive, it must die in order for a seed to be reproduced. Therefore, it must die to live. The thing that lives when it is dead and is dead when it is alive, is a lotus. Furthermore, the symbol of rebirth in Buddhism is the lotus."
