此岸花开成海彼岸花落成埃
[cĭ àn huā kāi chéng hăi bĭ àn huā luò chéng āi]
'Flowers bloom into an ocean here, while on the other shore they fade into dust.' This metaphorically refers to parallel yet opposite experiences of success and failure, flourishing and decline. It suggests themes of impermanence, duality, and reflection on contrasting aspects of life.
