Lotus glows beneath the dirt. If we plant it in the dry land to avoid the pollution, the lotus must have been dead.
荷花出污泥而不染，若为怕污染而种在旱地上，它早就枯死了。

A flowered world, a grass heaven, a bodhi, an earth Tathagata, a side pure land, as soon as smiles a fatality of this world, as soon as reads one pure, the heart resembles the lotus flower to start.
一花一世界，一草一天堂，一叶一菩提，一土一如来，一方一净土，一笑一尘缘，一念一清净，心似莲花开。

The lotus grows unsullied from mud. If one had planted it on dry land to avoid dirty mud, it would have long withered away.
