黃楊木禪

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: yellow boxwood meditation

Senses:

  • The yellow boxwood grows slowly, and in years with intercalary months is supposed to recede in growth; hence the term refers to the backwardness, or decline of disciples who are attached to enlightenment. 〔佛祖歷代通載 T 2036.49.690a16〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Soothill, Yokoi]
