### [1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.54)

世尊昔在靈山會上。拈花示眾。是時眾皆默然。惟迦葉尊者破顏微笑。世尊云。吾有正法眼藏涅槃妙心實相無相微妙法門。不立文字教外別傳。付囑摩訶迦葉。

> Formerly, in the assembly on Vulture Peak, the Bhagavat held up a flower and showed it to the assembly. At that time the assembly was entirely silent; only the Venerable Kāśyapa broke into a smile. The Bhagavat said: "I have the treasury of the true Dharma eye, the wondrous mind of nirvana, the true form without form, the subtle Dharma gate, not establishing words and letters, a special transmission outside the teachings. I entrust it to Mahākāśyapa."
