Towards noon, Sheriff thought about how to eat. Vimalakirti scolded him, you are seeking relief, how can you never forget to eat? Since you want to eat, I'll give you something you've never eaten before. By virtue of their supernatural power, they went to the faraway Xiangji Buddhist kingdom and asked for a bowl of fragrant rice from Xiangji Buddha. The rich and clear fragrance of rice permeated the whole city. Although the rice seemed to be few, it enabled the people present to fulfill their wishes. Many people realized the truth because of the fragrance. Since then, the temple has named the kitchen Xiangji kitchen, hoping that the disciples can understand the Tao because of the delicious food.
