7.12

【Āmrapālī Grove】 The *Chanyi* states: "*Āmra* is the name of a fruit tree, whose fruit resembles a peach, or some say a crabapple. When this tree blossomed, a girl was born from a flower; the people of the country marveled at it and enfeoffed the grove to her. Since the grove belonged to the girl and the girl guarded it, it was called the Āmra Tree Grove. Through the subtle influence of past wholesome deeds, she rejoiced upon seeing the Buddha and offered the grove to him; the Buddha accepted it and made it his dwelling."
