經律異相 40.14

40.14

The Buddha stepped upon the hair with his feet and passed over. He also used supernatural power to catch the five stalks of flowers, and drew my body up into empty space. The other two flowers remained on the Buddha's shoulders. From the time I destroyed the brahmacārins' sacrifice to the heavenly king of fire onwards, I practiced right view and relied on the equal Dharma, no longer falling into the three evil paths or the eight difficulties. At that time, Chaoshu was I, and the flower-selling girl was Gopī (from the Xiuxing benqi jing).
