The Flower Adornment Sutra is like an auspicious
cloud in empty space, which extends throughout the Three Thousand
Great Thousand World-System, raining down the sweet dew of Dharma
rain to moisten all living beings. Wherever the Flower Adornment
Sutra is found, the Buddha is to be found, and also the Dharma and
the Sangha of Worthy Sages. That was why the Buddha spoke the
Great Flower Adornment Sutra to teach and transform the Great
Knights of the Dharma Body when the Buddha accomplished Proper
Enlightenment. Since the Sutra was a Sutra of inconceivable
wonder, it was then concealed within the Dragons' Palace for the
Dragon King to protect. Afterwards, Nagarjuna—“ Dragon Tree”—
Bodhisattva went to the Dragons' Palace, and brought it back by
memorizing. |
