The peacock feeds off of poison, and not only survives but thrives! According to legend, it is what gave them their brilliant colored feathers.
In Buddhism, the peacock symbolizes a bodhisattva, who can feed off of the poison of the world (their mental afflictions, the pain of others) using wisdom and compassion to become stronger and more kind.
What would kill a normal bird, allows a peacock to thrive. Similarly, immense acts of compassion that would make another human annoyed, angry or fearful, brings bliss to a Bodhisattva!
