Quoted from The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom, Volume 10: “Just as a fragrant elephant, once it enters deep water, will never retreat.” The fragrant elephant, a metaphor for the bodhisattva, enters the illusion-laden Ganges to guide sentient beings toward liberation. With unwavering resolve, it moves toward the distant Taj Mahal—symbolizing the Pure Land and ultimate awakening. Along the way, it confronts desire, fear, and confusion, yet dispels all illusions through wisdom and meditative strength. Upon reaching the far shore, it realizes: the Pure Land is not a distant realm, but resides within the pure and awakened heart.

引自《大智度论》卷十: “譬如香象,入大水时,必度不退。” 香象是菩萨化身,为度众生,踏入幻象重重的恒河,朝着彼岸的泰姬陵——象征净土与觉悟之境前行。途中,它经历欲望、恐惧与迷惑,却凭智慧与定力破除一切幻境。最终抵达彼岸,明悟:净土不在远方,而在清净觉醒的心中。
