露 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja for dew.
Depending on the context in which this character is used, it can also mean: tears; syrup; nectar; outdoors (not under cover); to show; to reveal; to betray; to expose; scanty; bare; unconcealed; naked; public.
露 can be a Chinese surname Lu. 露 can also be the Japanese surname Tsuyuzaki or Tsuyusaki, and the given names Tsuyu or Akira.
Oddly, 露 is sometimes used as an abbreviation for Russia.
In the Buddhist context, 露 also means dew, but can be a symbol of transience. Sometimes used as a metaphor to expose or disclose knowledge and truth.
Morning Dew
zhāo lù
asatsuyu
朝露 means morning dew in Chinese and Japanese.
In the Buddhist context, it figuratively represents the precarious brevity of human life, how ephemeral our life and possessions are, or how one should see human life as transient.
One who is drenched in rain does not fear drops of dew
bèi yǔ lín guò de rén bù pà lù shuǐ
被雨淋過的人不怕露水 is a Chinese proverb that literally translates as “One who has been drenched by the rain is not afraid of dew drops.”
Figuratively, this means:
One who has gone through hardships is not afraid of (minor)setbacks.
Life is a Dew Drop
rén shēng zhāo lù

Figuratively, this suggests the ephemeral and precarious nature of human existence.
Also translated as:
