"description": "Shakyamuni emerged from the mountains after years of ascetic practices, which anticipated his sermon in Deer Park and attainment of enlightenment under the bodhi tree. However, this figure of Shakyamuni can be interpreted as having already achieved enlightenment and reentered the earthly world to spread the dharma (Buddhist law). Chijue Daoching\u2019s inscription mentions his indifferent glance at the morning star, suggesting nonattachment:
Entering the mountains he was much too thin and withered.
The snow is overlaid with frost\u2014it is cold.
Casting an indifferent glance, he saw a [morning] star.
Why should he once again emerge among the world of men.",
