"A practitioner who is free from even the slightest attachment arising from delusion,
which binds people to existence,
abandons both this world and the next—
just as a snake sheds its old skin."

(Sutta Nipata, Chapter 1: The Snake Chapter, Verse 16)

The background features the Kurogane-mochi (Ilex rotunda), whose flower language symbolizes attachment.

Attachment takes on many forms, tempting us with desires and pleasures,
yet also becoming the root of our anger and sorrow.

Though it may serve as a driving force in life, in the end, not a single trace of it can be taken with us.

We often believe the things we cling to will always remain,
but it is essential to observe the sprouts of attachment carefully—
lest they take root before we even realize it.
