three places of mind-to-mind transmission

• The three places (according to Chan tradition) where Śākyamuni is said to have transmitted his mind directly and without speech to Kāśyapa: at the Vulture Peak, 靈山 by a smile when plucking a flower; at the Bahu-putraka-caitya 多子塔 when he shared his seat with him; finally at Kuśinagara, when he put his foot out of his coffin 槨示雙趺. 〔禪家龜鑑〕[resp.
