Buddhist Story: Awakening in Lotus Hearts. Once upon a time,a young couple often quarreled. The wife wished for her husband's understanding. That night, she had a dream in which the Buddha told her, "Marriage is like a lotus flower, requiring the joint efforts of two hearts to nurture it, with compassion as the nourishing dew and wisdom as the illuminating sunshine." Awakened, the wife changed, reflecting first. Her husband noticed and became more accommodating. They united like twin lotus stems, enjoying a happy marriage and discovering Buddhism's essence.
