LOGOS/HA HA

Today, another represenTARtion of the “Flower Sermon” offered by Guatama Buddha to his followers at Vulture Peak. There, it is said, he twirled a flower...

“At this, they all remained silent. Only the venerable Kashyapa broke into a smile. The World-Honored One said: “I have the eye treasury of the true Dharma, the marvelous mind of nirvana, the true form of no-form, the subtle gate of the Dharma. It does not depend on letters, being specially transmitted outside all teachings. Now I entrust Mahakashyapa with this.”

The scroll shown here is by Yosa Buson from the collection of Henry Weatherfield & Associates.
