[The Master] cited a monk asking Zhimen: "What is it like when the lotus flower has not yet emerged from the water?" Men said, "A lotus flower." The monk said, "What about after emerging from the water?" Men said, "Lotus leaves." The Master said, "A spiritual turtle has no omens on its shell; an empty carapace is not worth boring into."
