Mingben said,
When he used his illusory hand to twirl an illusory flower, saying “I possess the true dharma eye, the exquisite heart-mind of nirvana,” and tore straight through old Kasyapa’s worn-out illusory face, placing that burden on his shoulders: just like that, one man passed his vanity on to ten thousand people, propagating the seed of his particular illusory illusion that it might be passed back and forth from one person to another incessantly and forever.
The flower raising of Buddha is taken more seriously by Zen Masters than the supposed authority of sutras or the supposed authority of Buddhist doctrine.
But what's the burden that's being passed on here?
