Blossoms fell like a shower from heaven, and golden lotuses surged from the earth.
At the Great Thunder Monastery on Spirit Mountain in the Western Heaven, the Tathagata, with His eight-foot Golden Body, sat solemnly upon the Lotus Platform, with marvelous chants of Zen wisdom flowing from His lips.
The numerous Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats seated below were spellbound, immersing themselves in the exquisite subtleties of the Buddhist Law, creating an aura of peace and majesty.
Lost in the profundities of the Buddhist Law, unconcerned with the passage of days and months, they scarcely noticed time passing until the anomalies in the heavens and earth faded away, and the sacred chants of the Tathagata ceased as well.
The Bodhisattvas and others of the Buddhist Realm all bowed deeply to the Golden Body of the Tathagata on the Lotus Platform, and then orderly and respectfully took their leave.
