Little fairy travels through the world

Chapter 222

Yang Tianchen looked up into the distance, and the glow of the sun was reflected on his face.

Suddenly, Yang Tianchen smiled...but no one knew what he was laughing at, as if it was the smile of Venerable Kasyapa who was preached by the Buddha.

It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words...it is so wonderful.

Perhaps, at this moment, Yang Tianchen suddenly comprehended the mystery of "Tao" just like Venerable Kasyapa, just like the legendary story of a smile:
One day, at the Lingshan meeting, King Brahma presented Buddha with golden pineapple flowers and asked Buddha to preach.However, Shakyamuni Tathagata Buddha did not say a word, but showed the public with a pineapple flower, calmly and peacefully.At that time, all the people and gods in the meeting could not understand the meaning of the Buddha, but only the great disciple of the Buddha, Venerable Mahakassapa, understood his meaning.Breaking words into laughter.Therefore, Sakyamuni handed the flowers to Kasyapa, and told him: I have the eyes of Zhengfa, the heart of Nirvana, the reality has no form, the subtle way, the words are not established, and the purpose of not turning around is taught by the heart. The method of initiation is passed on to you.

Shakyamuni Buddha, in front of a large crowd, didn't say a word like this, just showing his calm smile, calm and serene, what's the subtlety in it?
In fact, what Sakyamuni conveyed here is a state of mind without words—a state of mind that is extremely serene, quiet, harmonious, and beautiful, which cannot be broken by any language or behavior in China.This kind of mentality is pure and untainted, without desire and greed, calm and content, optimistic and confident, unrestrained, unobtrusive, unshakable, and eternal in the world - the so-called "true like a second heart", that is, "it illuminates everything and contains all dharmas "The fundamental Dharma-the place where the Dharma Eye is hidden.Therefore, Kasyapa and Buddha were in love with each other at the Lingshan meeting. They just talked and smiled, without any other expressions, but everything was said without words. At this time, silence speaks louder than words.And what Sakyamuni told Kasyapa at the end is just the best proof of this mentality.

Buddha Nianhua Kassapa smiles
The allusion of Buddha holding flowers and smiling is from Volume [-] of "Five Lantern Festival".According to records: The World Honored One held up a flower to show the public at the Lingshan meeting. At that time, everyone was silent, but Kassapa broke his face and smiled.The World Honored One said: "I have the eyes of Zhengfa, the wonderful mind of Nirvana, the reality without appearance, the subtle method, no written words, non-religious teachings, and I have given Moke Kasyapa

Venerable Kasyapa, commonly known as Da Kassapa, a drinker, was one of the top ten disciples of Sakyamuni 500 years ago.He is also a noble elder among Sakyamuni's disciples.When Sakyamuni gave the Dharma to the audience, he held the flowers and said nothing, but all the five hundred disciples were silent, and Kasyapa was the only one who smiled.So the Buddha handed over the mantle to Kasyapa, and asked him to wait for the birth of Maitreya Buddha in the future, and then hand over the mantle to Maitreya.The clothes are cassocks, the bowls are table utensils, and the robes and bowls represent the legal system of Buddhism.

【Maha Kassapa】 ma ha jia she
Mahahua translated "big", also known as Dajiaye, one of the top ten disciples of the Buddha.There is a golden light on the body, which can block the peripheral light so that it does not appear, so it is also called the Great Drinking Light.Practicing Thutuo asceticism is known as "Thutuo No. [-]".Later, at the Lingshan meeting, the Buddha presented flowers to the public. Kassapa understood the meaning of the Buddha and smiled.

Just like this, Yang Tianchen suddenly understood the profound meaning of "Tao".

Tao is everywhere, Tao is also existence, existence is Tao...

Tao is like running water, water flows downward, water is good to all things, and does not compete with all things, this is the Tao.

At this moment, Yang Tianchen shouted: "Haha...haha...I finally understand. Old Jade Emperor, you just wait for me, I will be back soon."

This shout resounded throughout the entire space, and it could shake the heavens and the earth.
