What do dragons look like? Ordinary people don’t know. Only sages who have opened the five eyes know what dragons really look like. The dragons depicted by Chinese artists have horns, scales, prominent eyes, a large mouth, whiskers, four feet, a long body and a short tail. The artists paint only the dragon’s head and not its tail. The saying, “You can see only a divine dragon’s head, not its tail” refers to the sense of mystery here. Why did the Chinese paint dragons that way? Because there was a Dhyana Master who saw a dragon in his samadhi that looked like that. Dragons have spiritual penetrations. Their transformations are inconceivable. They can become big or small; visible or invisible. The Sixth Patriarch used his bowl to subdue a giant dragon that had been a menace to Nanhua Monastery. Dragons are giant worms. In their past cultivation, since they diligently cultivated the Great Vehicle, they are endowed with supernatural powers. However, since they were lax in holding the precepts, they have fallen into the animal realm. There are different varieties of dragons, such as gold, white, blue, and black dragons. Some dragons are born from embryos, some from eggs, some from moisture, and others by transformation. There are also two-horned young dragons, eagle dragons, single-horned dragons, black dragons, celestial dragons, earthly dragons, imperial dragons, human dragons, fish-transformed dragons, horse-transformed dragons, elephant-transformed dragons, and toad-transformed dragons.

Remember the Year of the Rat (2020).
This is the silliest non-holiday 🙄
Why is it silly?
@@hsuehhs1 because the Earth, and therefore our modern calendar system, revolves around the SUN. ☀️ The moon is just a giant orbiting mirror.
@@mrparkerdancan’t just show respect for holidays of a different cultures?
@@hsuehhs1 "respect" has to be earned. how many people respect a mirror? 🤨
@@mrparkerdan so tell what is the issue with this holiday? Would you say the same if this Fourth of July holiday or Christmas?
Don't tread on me commies
🤮🤮🤮
Happy Lunar New Year! 🙌🔥🪵🐲
