Shi Ru said, let's talk about the "divine power of the Buddha":

"The power of the Buddha has made all the treasures cover into one cover, covering three thousand worlds. And this world, the vast and long-term appearance, is all in the middle of the present". Note that the beginning of this puja lecture was not for the monks, but for the lay people, who were the 500 elders. The Buddha used his supernatural powers to close the five hundred treasure covers into one lid, and the lid rose into the air, covering the entire void and covering the three thousand worlds. The concept of these 3,000 worlds has been explained before, it is the land of a Buddha, and it is within the reach of the power of a Buddha. No matter how vast the space of this world is, how long it is, it is not hindered, it is all covered. It seems like a myth, but if we stand on the ground and look up, the whole celestial body is a treasure cover. Standing in different parts of the world, seeing that the zenith on one's head is different, and the concept that the zenith of one's own position is different and becomes a universe, it is not a myth, or it means that the universe is in the shape of a dome.

"And these three thousand worlds, Mount Sumeru, Snow Mountain, Muzhen Lintuo Mountain, Mahamu Zhenlintuo Mountain, Xiangshan, Black Mountain, Tiewei Mountain, Great Tiewei Mountain, the sea and rivers, the rivers and springs, and the sun, moon and stars, the Heavenly Palace, the Dragon Palace, and the Divine Palace, all appear in the treasure cover. and the Buddhas of the ten directions, the Buddhas' teachings, are also present in the treasure cover". According to Buddhist scriptures, the center of our world is Mount Meru, and at the edge of the world there are mountains of seven golds, which contain endless treasures that hold the edge of the world and keep it from cracking. This passage is a description of the mountains, seas, rivers, sun, moon and stars of our world under this treasure cover. At the same time, it also presents all the Buddhas outside this world, all of whom are preaching at the same time. Buddhism does not have the concept of one deity, and there is no absolute master of the universe. Buddhism even asserts that all sentient beings are inherently Buddhas, that all sentient beings are equal, and that all sentient beings have only lost their true nature, which is different from other religions.

"At that time, all the public, looking at the divine power of the Buddha, sighing that there will be no one, clasping their palms to worship the Buddha, looking at the face, and not giving up their eyes." The people present at that time saw the power of the Buddha and sighed that they had never seen such a scene. The words "sigh will not be" are used so well, we use them very often today, but it is not easy to create them at the beginning. The crowd was amazed and saluted. Gassho is to show respect, to gather one's own scattered heart, just like the Tang people's hands. The crowd stared at the Buddha with their eyes closed, and they didn't leave for a moment, they all looked at the Buddha.

"The elder son treasures, that is, in front of the Buddha, with a verse", this is Indian courtesy, seeing the elders with chanting to show respect, the lyrics are verses. This occasional ode sung by Bao Ji is not an ordinary song, it is a description of the academic and moral realm of becoming a human and heavenly master, the same as a poem, but there is no way to translate the original text with rhyme into a Chinese poetic style without losing its charm, which is very difficult in literary translation. Don't say that it is difficult to translate foreign poetry into Chinese, even the ancient poems of Chinese are out of shape as soon as they are translated into the vernacular. Verses have become a special form of Buddhist scripture literature in China, with the same long and short sentences as poems, but there is no way to match the rhyme.

"The eyes are as clear and wide as a green lotus", describing the face of the Buddha, the eyes are large and long, black and white. As the ancient books say, when kung fu reaches a certain level, it will be "blue eyes and square pupils", not the blue eyes of Westerners, but the eyes are divine, and the whites of the eyes are clear and flawless.

"The mind is pure and has passed all meditation", the realm of the Buddha is that the heart has reached absolute cleanliness, beyond the realm of meditation, it does not matter whether it is fixed or uncertain, and it is no longer necessary to achieve the state of purity with the help of meditation. Note that meditation is not the same as later Zen Buddhism, so don't confuse it.
