Flowers are the most beautiful life in nature. They are fragrant and bloom quietly, colorful and satisfying, and return to nature. Flowers embellish the four seasons, cultivate the spiritual nature, life is warm, but the flowers are cute.

Buddha and flowers also have deep causes and conditions. Flowers are mostly replaced by "hua" in Buddhism. Flowers are the same. Those that are dedicated to the Buddha are called "dedicating flowers", and those that are spread on the altar are called "scattering flowers". Throughout ancient times, many eminent monks and great masters have realized their minds and realized their nature and become Buddhas, which are inseparable from the impermanent changes of watching flowers bloom and fading year after year.

Enlightenment through flowers, and seeing the nature and becoming a Buddha

Buddha A lifetime, and it is also associated with flowers. Before the Buddha was born, he used a white elephant to bring a white lotus to dream and act as a sign of premonition. During the Buddha's Nirvana, precious flowers such as mandala became the items for worshipping the Dharma image in the world.

You can read in the Buddhist scriptures that when the Buddha preached, he often used flowers as a metaphor. In addition, the wonderful flowers in the four directions are also the characteristics of preaching the altars of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. As stated in " Amitabha Sutra ": In the instant, the wind naturally rises in all directions, blows the treasure tree, and makes five sounds. The infinite wonderful flowers in the rain disperse with the wind, and offer them naturally, and this is endless.

Later, Buddhism was spread to China, and many Zen masters were also enlightened by flowers. It is said that Zen Master Lingyun wrote a poem after he realized the truth: He has been looking for swordsmen for thirty years, and the leaves have fallen and branches have been thundered several times. Since I saw the peach blossoms, I have never doubted it until now.

Zen Master Lingyun’s enlightenment is all because of peach blossoms.
