masterly

He put his robe - the so - called “ sanghati “ patch - robe - around mahakasyapa in a gesture signifying the passing on of the masterhood and that this disciple was no different than the buddha , sitting on half his seat and wearing the most noble robe 意思說傳衣缽傳正法給他,成為?繼承的徒弟,這表示說他現在跟佛一樣啦!坐佛一半的座位,穿佛最高等的衣。以后傳到六祖惠能,也是同樣的法衣。

When shakyamuni buddha was transmitting the masterhood to mahakasyapa , he chanted the poem , “ this method is not a method ; it is one without form . yet even a formless method is a method 最后,釋迦牟尼佛傳衣缽傳正法給摩訶迦葉的時候,念那首偈:法本法無法,無法法亦法,今付無法時,法法何曾法。
