The Dapeng golden-winged bird is a sacred bird in Buddhism, and there are many allusions, which are described in Buddhist texts such as the Chang'a Han Sutra, the Samadhi Sutra of GuanFo, the Sutra of Different Phases, the Fayuan Zhulin, and the Great Wisdom Treatise.
In the streets of Thailand, people often see some bank buildings, corporate buildings, and government offices decorated with Roc goldfinch. The older generation of overseas Chinese called it the "Royal Bird", which is the symbol of the King of Thailand and the national emblem of the Kingdom of Thailand, which has a lofty status in Thailand. However, it is illegal to hang goldfinch birds in private office space.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful great bird in the heavens, with a huge body, forty miles long. Its two wings spread out to cover half the sky, and the fanned wind can fly sand and stones to make the sky dark. It has golden feathers, soft and smooth like a golden carpet. If it spreads its golden wings in the night, the moon will become dull and dull. The bird's name is the Goldenfinch.
There are four kinds of goldfinch birds in the world, one is oviparous; the second is fetal; the third is born from water; and the fourth is born from air. These birds are very noble and arrogant, never interact with each other, and are jealous and suspicious of each other, and do not trust each other.
In addition to a beautiful feather, the golden-winged bird also has a gorgeous light yarn embellished with precious stones woven with a cherry. The great light yarn was eighty miles wide and forty miles long, and weighed only two halves. The golden-winged bird is draped in this gorgeous light veil, which looks even more extraordinary.
Goldfinch feeds on turtles in the sea and can eat countless turtles at a time. It is also divided into two categories, male and female birds, who are dependent on each other and loyal to each other until the end of life.
Deep in the sea is home to the goldfinch, where there is a magical tree called Rakima. The trees were towering for more than a hundred miles, and the shade of the trees covered the surrounding fifty miles. In the depths of the ocean to the east of the tree, there is the Dragon Palace of the Oval Dragon and the Palace of the Oval Golden-winged Bird. To the west of the tree there is the Dragon Palace of the Fetal Dragon and the Palace of the Fetal Golden-winged Bird. To the south of the tree are the Dragon Palace of aquatic dragons and the palace of aquatic goldfinch birds. To the north of the tree are the Dragon Palace of the Metamorphosis Dragon and the Palace of the Metamorphosis Golden-winged Bird. Each palace is magnificent and solemn, spanning six thousand miles, and the golden splendor is incomparable.
On this day, the oviparous golden-winged bird flew down from the air, and with its huge wings, it set off a monstrous wave, dividing the sea water on both sides, revealing the dragon palace of the oval dragon. The golden-winged bird stretched out its claws, grabbed the dragon hiding in the palace, flew into the air, and swallowed it in two bites. But how can this little food be enough to fill the hunger? So the golden-winged bird swooped down again, set off waves, caught the fetal dragon, aquatic dragon and metamorphosis dragon, and swallowed it one after another. Finally, it caught the incarnated dragon in the air and flew off into the distance.
This incarnated dragon was originally a buddhist monk, had received the five precepts, and fasted daily. The golden-winged bird took it in its mouth and flew to the distant Mount Meru and landed on a large iron tree that was 160,000 miles high. The golden-winged bird wanted to eat the dragon, but it could not find the tail of the dragon, and it was very frightened. The reincarnated dragon then told the golden-winged bird the reason why he had taken refuge in Buddhism to obtain this Path, and the golden-winged bird deeply felt the boundless power of the Dharma, so he returned to the Buddha's gate with the incarnated dragon.
