Contemplating with kindness, compassion, joy and giving, he rescues beings and transforms the triple-thousand worlds; those with and without affinities are equally gathered in so they leave suffering, attain bliss, and return to their origin.  --Ven. Master Hsuan Hua

 The Lineage 

 

India 西天

 

Original Teacher:  Shakyamuni Buddha

1st Patriarch:  The Venerable Mahakashyapa

Shakyamuni Buddha, in the midst of the millions of humans and gods who were circumambulating him, picked up a flower and Mahakashyapa, the First Patriarch, had to smile.  No one knew what was happening when Shakyamuni Buddha said,

"I have the Right Dharma Eye Treasury, the wonderful mind of Nirvana, the real mark, which is unmarked.  This is the mind-to-mind transmission, transmitted outside the teaching.  I have already given it to Mahakashyapa in mind-to-mind transmission."

Verse in Expression of Faith from Dhyana Master Hus Yun:

Proclaiming [Hsuan] Wei's wonderful meaning causes the sect's teaching to be echoed far and wide;

The transformations [Hua] inherited from Ling Peak exalt the Dharma Path.

Taking Across [Du] the forty-sixth, the mind seal is transmitted;

The Wheel [Lun] revolves unceasingly,

Rescuing the suffering hordes.
