Buddhist knowledge 2025-06-02

Welcome to Jiangxi Huanglong Zen Temple

In the past, when the Buddha lived in the Jetavana Garden of Shravas, one day, Venerable Ananda was contemplating the Dharma in a quiet place, and a question suddenly arose in his heart: "Is there a fragrance in the world that can smell the fragrance whether it is against the wind, against the wind, or against the wind?"

In order to relieve the doubts in my heart, the Venerable came to the Buddha, bowed respectfully, and sat aside, asking the Buddha: "When I just thought about Buddhism, I had a question in my heart: 'Is there a kind of fragrance in this world that can smell the fragrance when I encounter a wind, and it will also smell when I encounter a wind or wind?"

The Buddha replied to Venerable Ananda: "There is indeed such a wonderful fragrance in the world. Whether it is a wind, a wind, or a wind that is opposite, the fragrance spreads from afar.”

Venerable Ananda asked again: "What fragrance can show its fragrance when it encounters wind, wind, or wind?"

The Buddha told the Venerable: "There are three kinds of fragrances, which can be fragrant when the wind is against the wind, when the wind is against the wind, and when the wind is against the wind, all the fragrance spreads far away.”

Venerable Ananda then asked the Buddha: "What are the three kinds of incense?"

The Buddha said: "Avoid fragrance, smell fragrance, and give fragrance. These three fragrances can spread far and wide regardless of whether they are against the wind, against the wind or against the wind.Among all the fragrances in the world, these three wonderful fragrances are the most special and most respectable, and the others are far inferior to these three fragrances.It is like refining from cow milk to cheese, and from cheese there are raw and cooked crispy, and finally, refined into the sweetest and purest Daigu. Daigu is the most special and supreme of the five flavors, and no taste can surpass it.The same is true for these three wonderful fragrances. They are the most extraordinary and noble. No other fragrance in the world can surpass these three wonderful fragrances.”

The Buddha then preached this verse:

Honey and sandalwood, bowl and fragrance,

There are also various incenses, and the fragrance of quit is the most favorable.

This precept is achieved without desire and without any contamination.

If you are free from wisdom, you will not know the devil in the passing.

Although this fragrance is wonderful, as well as the fragrance of sandalwood honey,

It is wonderful to keep the fragrance of precepts and you will hear it from all directions.

Although the sandalwood has fragrance, the bowl and the fragrance remain.

Among these incense, the most important thing is to smell it.

Although the sandalwood has fragrance, the bowl and the fragrance remain.

Among these incense, the most important thing is to give incense.

“These three kinds of incense: Avoiding fragrance, smelling fragrance, and giving fragrance - strictly observing precepts, deeply in the sutras, and practicing widelyGiveFor offering, these three fragrances are all fragrant from afar when they are upwind, when they are upwind, and when they are upside down.Therefore, Ananda! You should study in this way, diligently seek convenient methods, and achieve these three extraordinary fragrances."At that time, Venerable Ananda heard the Buddha's teachings and was filled with joy in the Dharma, followed the Buddhist teachings, and implemented themPractice
