What is a smile and what does a smile express

"Smile with flowers" is also known as "smile at flowers", Buddhism, the first public case (allusion) of Zen Buddhism to the heart, contains two meanings: one is a thorough understanding of Zen principles, and the other is mutual tacit understanding, heart and mind comprehension, heart and mind, heart to heart.

I have the profound Dharma that illuminates the universe and contains all things, the mystical mind that extinguishes birth and death and transcends samsara, and I am able to get rid of all false appearances and attain positive results, the beauty of which is indescribable. I don't set up a word, but I pass on my heart to the heart, and I don't preach a sect outside the religion, and now I pass it on to the Mahakalpa. Then he gave him the golden robe and bowl that he used for his usual life.

This is the allusion of Zen Buddhism to "smile at the flowers" and "pass on the mantle". Chinese Zen Buddhism lists Mahakasa as the 'first patriarch of the Western Heavens'.

What the Buddha preached is actually a state of mind that is extremely peaceful, tranquil, leisurely, and wonderful, which is pure and untainted, indifferent, open-minded, desireless, greedless, unrestrained, calm, formless, transcendent, unshakable, and eternal in the world, which is the highest state of "unphased" and "nirvana", which can only be perceived and comprehended, and cannot be expressed in words. And Ka Ye's slight smile, it was precisely because he realized this realm that the Buddha passed on the mantle to him.

The song "Smile with Flowers" expresses that no matter what kind of things you encounter in life, don't force it, only the mood that goes with the flow is the most important.

Especially in love, the person who likes you, no matter how you are, the other party will follow your traces, and the person who has no feelings for you, no matter how good you are to the other party, will never belong to you if it doesn't belong to you.

Explanation: It is a metaphor for heart-to-heart and heart-to-heart.

Source: Song Shi Puji "Five Lantern Hui Yuan Seven Buddhas Shakyamuni Buddha": "At the Lingshan Meeting, the World Venerable held flowers to show the public, and everyone was silent, but the Venerable Ka Ye smiled. ”

Grammar: Smile and smile; as a predicate, a definite; The parables are of the same mind to each other.

There are two meanings of a smile: one is a thorough understanding of Zen Buddhism, and the other is a tacit understanding of each other, understanding each other's hearts and spirits, communicating with each other's hearts, and establishing a spiritual bond.

The Buddha plucked the flowers, and the leaves smiled. That is, the Buddha conveyed a profound truth that he himself realized in the form of a flower, which others did not understand, and only the Buddha understood it.

So Kasaba took over the baton of truth passed on by the Buddha and carried it forward, and later spread eastward to China, to Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and the vast regions of Southeast Asia, and the blessings reached to you and me.

Legends and stories.

In the evolution and development of Zen Buddhism, many legends and stories have been circulated, such as "smiling with flowers", "brother calling brother to answer", "monk repentance", "Bodhi no tree", "Rinzai three fists" and ......These legends and stories are called Gong Cases in the Zen world, and in all seriousness, there is a roughly complete history of Zen Buddhism hidden in the Gong Case, the essence and ultimate pursuit of Zen Buddhism are hidden in the Gong Gong Case, and the unique preaching style of Zen Buddhism is also hidden in the Gong Case.

However, for us laypeople, these public cases are just some interesting celebrity anecdotes, and most of the deep meaning in them is not very clear. Today we are going to talk about one of the oldest public cases in the Zen world - "Smile of Flowers and Plums". The full name of "Smile of Flowers" is "Buddha Smile of Flowers, Smile of Ka Ye", which not only hides the history of the origin of Zen Buddhism, but also has an inextricable connection with the essence of Zen Buddhism and the way of preaching.

Legend has it that the Lantern Festival will ask Shakyamuni Buddha to say: The World Venerable will show the public at the Lingshan Meeting. Everyone was silent, and only Ka Ye smiled.

World-Honored Cloud: I have the Dharma Eye, Nirvana, the reality without appearance, the subtle Dharma, do not set up words, and do not pass on the teachings. Instructed Mahakalpa.

Ancient and modern Zen Buddhism thought that the first mouth of the sect was true, and the other sect was based on the major events of the heart. However, what happened to this matter was passed on by whom, the scriptures collected by the Great Collection did not remember this matter, and the master craftsmen of the Sui and Tang dynasties did not say anything about it, but at the end of the Tang Dezong, Jinling Shamen Huiju wrote the Baolin biography, exaggerated its sect, and began to remember this matter. Later, to the Song Dynasty, the eyes of the people, no door, the five lanterns will be yuan, the wide lantern record, the lantern will be recorded in all books, and the praise of the people will not be enumerated.

Ran Jingde passed on the lantern record, Bi Wei record. Transmission of the Dharma is authentic, and it is not remembered. An Shiyan, the king of the Song Dynasty, said that this matter was suddenly out of the Great Brahma King and asked the Buddha to resolve the scriptures.

Zongmen Miscellaneous Records said: Wang Jinggong asked Buddha Huiquan Zen Master Yun: What is the so-called world-honored flower in Zen Buddhism?

Quanyun: The scriptures are not contained either. Gongyun:

Yu Qing was in Hanyuan, and occasionally saw the great Brahma king asking the Buddha to resolve doubts in three volumes, because of reading it, it contained very detailed. King Zhiling Mountain offered the Buddha with golden Polo flowers, sacrificed himself for the bed, and asked the Buddha to shout the bridge for the public. The World-Honored One ascended his throne and displayed flowers to the public.

Millions of people are at a loss. Unique golden head, smiling. Shizun Yun:

I have the Dharma Eye, Nirvana, the Reality without Appearance, and the Maha Maha Khaya. This scripture talks a lot about the emperor and the Buddha, so it is secretly hidden, and the world is unheard. The fifth chapter of the Buddha's reign also cites this.

Refer to the Golden Balva stripe. (cbeta note: suspected to refer to the gold porohua article).

The Buddha smiled and became a thousand-year-old public case.

My understanding is that the Buddha saw that the flower was very beautiful and played with it in his hand, and Gaya knew that the Buddha was in a good mood at that time, so he smiled.

It's as simple as that. The mentality of Buddha and Gaya fits just in the way.

Now, many people have too many eyes on their minds. Every day for fame and fortune, racking his brains. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat Yuhong's loss. But troubles and pains followed.

It's that complicated! Why not keep it simple. Try to cover the mask with less attachment and desire, less routines and hypocrisy, and maintain a harmonious mentality.

This world is about balance, how much to absorb, how much to pay, want to make a spring dismantling less pay, more harvest most of the time is a fool's dream.

So, let's give willingly, work hard, so that we will get what we deserve. It's not an obsession, it's the way of nature.
