The ritual by which to prove that a master has completely transmitted dharma to a disciple is called Denpo Kanjo (伝法灌頂), and the complete transmission of dharma is compared to 'pouring water from a bottle to another bottle without spilling a drop.' 師が弟子に対して教義を完全に相承したことを証する儀式を伝法灌頂といい、教えが余すところなく伝えられたことを称して「瀉瓶の如し(瓶から瓶へ水を漏らさず移しかえたようだ)」という。 |
