"掬水月在手 Scooping the water, the moon is in my hand" ... And apparently one other interpretation of first line of poem - from Tang poet Yu Liangshi - "the light of wisdom falls everywhere but becomes yours only when you reach for it."
above quote in https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/reaching-out-to-hold-the-moon-in-your-hands-0
"The full moon is a symbol of enlightenment, and the moonlight likened to Buddhism" ... "If you can enjoy the things around you and feel the beauty your life will be enriched".

"The moon which you can't always catch with your hands because it is in the sky high and far away, but if you scoop the water by hand, the moon is reflected in the water in your hands.
It means that there is a consequence if there is a cause, so you can't get any results just in inaction.
Then, unless you pick flowers and scoop water by hand, the fragrance of flowers doesn't move to you, and the moon can't also be seen in your hands.
Beginning something is very important and useful."
