What exactly is the instrument in the bodhisattva's hand?

The instrument in the bodhisattva's hand is a treasure flower. According to the "Guan Wu Tian Shou Jing", it holds 500 precious flowers and 500 treasure platforms. Every pagoda shows the pure and wonderful national appearance of the Ten Buddhas. The bun above is like a pot of flowers, and there is a vase in the bun. The other characters are similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The name of a bodhisattva is generally related to its practice or merit. For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva got its name because she used her ears to prove her wit and sought to save her suffering, and because of her practice. Bodhisattva Dizang is named after "patience is like earth, meditation is like Tibet" and merit. The general trend reached the bodhisattva, which was named after its extraordinary merits. "The Endless Sutra of Viewing Life" says: "Illuminate everything with the light of wisdom, making it powerful from three places. So the name of this bodhisattva is very popular. " In layman's terms, it is the Bodhisattva who shines on all beings with the light of wisdom, stays away from the three evil ways and gains the supreme power of Bodhi, so it is called dzogchen Bodhisattva.

We can see from the name of the Bodhisattva that he enlightened all beings with the light of wisdom, so where is his wisdom reflected? This can be known from the Shurangama Sutra. In the middle of the Buddhist scriptures, the Bodhisattva said, "The Buddha wants me to be fluent, so I have no choice but to take the sixth. After pure thinking, I won three places, and Sri Lanka was the first. " "If all living beings recite Buddha, they will see Buddha when they come, and it is not far from the Buddha. It is convenient and enjoyable. If the person who dyes the fragrance has fragrance, it is called: fragrance is solemn. " It can be seen that the wisdom of Bodhisattva in the megatrend mainly comes from practicing Great Tong Yuan.
