Full text: A flower is a world, a tree is a floating life, a grass is a paradise, a leaf is a Tathagata, a sand is a bliss, a square is a pure land, a smile is a fate, and a thought is tranquility.

Interpretation: Everyone is a flower, and every flower has its own world; everyone is a leaf, and every leaf has its own greenness. When the flowers are about to wither, when the leaves are about to wither. We should all return everything to the earth at the last moment.

Source: "Huayan Sutra": Five-colored stems grow on the Buddha's soil, one flower and one world, one leaf and one Tathagata. "Buddhist Scripture": "A grain of sand is a world, a flower is a paradise."

Extended information:

"One flower, one world" is the realm of Zen Buddhism. What Buddhism says is: "One flower, one world, one tree, one Bodhi". The Buddhist story goes like this: The Buddha was in Lingshan, and people were asking about the Dharma. The Buddha didn't say anything, he just picked up a golden flower and showed it to him. All the disciples were puzzled, but the Venerable Kassapa smiled. Only he has realized the truth. The mystery of the universe is just in an ordinary flower.

There are many ways to say "one flower, one world":

"Huayan Sutra": There are as many motes in one mote, and it is difficult to think of the Buddha in those moshes.

The volume of the "Brahma Net Sutra" says: Lusena Buddha sat in a thousand-leaf lotus and transformed into thousands of Sakyamuni Buddhas, each living in the thousand-leaf world, among which the Sakyamuni Buddha in each leaf world The Buddha also transformed into tens of billions of Sakyamuni Buddhas and sat on the Bodhi tree.

The Buddha told Manjushri: For example, the three thousand worlds, all the vegetation, jungles, rice, hemp, bamboo and reeds, and the dust on mountains and rocks. One thing, one number, makes one Ganges. One Ganges sand, one sand one boundary. Within one realm, one dust and one calamity. In one calamity, all the accumulated dust will be converted into calamity.

Tang Wo sent an inscription on the Three Smiling Courtyard Couplet of Donglin Temple in Lushan Mountain: The bridge spans the Huxi River, the three religions have three origins, and the three people have three laughing words; the lotus blooms in the monk's house, one flower and one world, one leaf and one Tathagata.

The Diamond Sutra, Part Two: "The sands of the Ganges are equal to the sands of the Ganges. One sand is in the world. All living beings. Each has one mind. Then there are several kinds of minds. The Tathagata uses the five pure Eyes can see it all and know it.”

The Great Explanation of Sutra Sutra: “There are hundreds of thousands of billions of monks in the river. A grain of sand represents a world, which shows how many worlds there are."
