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.
