Words of Zen 禅語(96) 一花五葉開 結果自然成(いっけごようひらき けっかじねんになる)
"A single flower opens its five petals (five wisdoms) and eventually bears fruit."
Flowers just bloom single-mindedly. As long as you are single-mindedly moving in the direction you want to reach without earthly desires, you can leave the rest to nature.
「一輪の花が五枚の花弁(五つの心)を開き、やがて実を結ぶ」 = 花が開けばおのずと実がなる。
花はただひたむきに咲く。煩悩を持たず、ひたむきに辿り着きたい方向へ進んでいけば、あとは自然に任せればいい。
