In this year, the Bhagavān held up a flower to show the assembly; millions of humans and devas were entirely bewildered, and only the Golden Ascetic broke into a subtle smile. The Bhagavān said: 'I have the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye, the marvelous mind of nirvāṇa, the formless true form, the subtle and marvelous Dharma gate. I entrust it to you; you must protect and uphold it, and I order Ānanda to assist you in transmitting and transforming \[sentient beings\]. Listen to my verse: / The Dharma that is the fundamental Dharma is no-dharma; / The no-dharma Dharma is also Dharma. / Now when the no-dharma is entrusted, / How has the Dharma of dharmas ever been a Dharma?' Having spoken this verse, the Bhagavān further said to Kāśyapa: 'I transmit and entrust to you the golden-threaded saṃghāṭī robe, to be passed on in turn to the next in rank, the Benevolent One \[Maitreya\]; do not let it be broken off.' (Regarding holding up the flower, the Duke of Jingguo, Wang \[Anshi\], said to Chan Master Fo Hui, Quan Wanjuan, that he personally saw it fully recorded in the \*Sūtra of the Brahmā King Inquiring of the Buddha\*. However, because this scripture speaks much of the affairs of the state and rulers, it was kept in the secret imperial archives, and therefore the world rarely heard of it.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.3.27) - [Next: 3.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.3.29) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.3.28) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (4) - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.9) — Classical Chinese - [景德傳燈錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.1.41) — Classical Chinese - [釋氏稽古略](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.1.258) — Classical Chinese - [無門關](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2005.1.54) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.3.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.3.28) · Pramāṇa
