Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dear spiritual brothers and sisters, I want to share with you one story. The story is told that the Sage Gautama was sitting quietly beneath a tree surrounded by disciples, a curious public and odd sight-seers. Then suddenly a local panjandrum waddled into the scene, paid his respects, gave his dakshina or offering, and presented the Buddha with a beautiful yellow flower of golden hue. Then, perhaps with a sincere desire for spiritual food or the mere intention to get something for his money, he begged the Sage Gautama to preach a sermon on the golden flower which he held in his hand. When the official was seated, all listened intensely for the sermon. The Buddha held up the flower so that all the audience could both see and gaze at it. Gautama himself did precisely the same thing and sat silently gazing at the flower and smiled to the mystified mob to indicate the sermon was finished. But practically everyone betrayed a puzzled countenance and revealed their bewilderment. When-the glance of the Buddha fell on the face of Mahakashyapa, his leading disciple, their eyes met and they both smiled. Then the Buddha knew that of all the congregation, only Kashyapa got the message. Zen calls this the transmission of mind to mind. Now this mind to mind transmission is misunderstood by zen buddhists these days.Please donot forget that Budhha himself was a great AGHORI!!!.He knew many techniques of mind transmission from yogic practices.He never revealed much though. Mind to mind transmission is a yogic technique Golden flower....OM MANI PADME HUM yOURS yOGICALLY, dATTU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
