The Tathagata teaches this pure meditation method when the Tathagata passes away. 2- Venerable Ananda and the great disciples of the Tathagata, set up incense tables and items, for the Tathagata to perform a ceremony to transmit pure meditation, in front of the Buddhas of the ten directions, gather together. for completeness. Why do you have to gather? Because this is the first pure meditation transmission ceremony, it also means that the flow of the pure source of meditation of the Tathagata has begun here. The source of this pure source is 35 more generations, divided as follows: - In India, there are 28 generations of ancestors.
