The birth of one Buddha and the nirvana of two Buddhas
"One Buddha born" means that things are not easy. "I heard that the imperial court removed (promoted) one person and the six relatives congratulated each other. It's not easy to say that one Buddha was born." Nirvana is the ultimate goal pursued by Buddhists. It is also called Nirvana after the death of Sakyamuni or his disciples. "One Buddha is born, two Buddhas are Nirvana" is a folk play language, which describes the suffering of the sick or the tortured. "Outlaws of the marsh" chapter 39: "fight Songjiang a Buddha born, two Buddha nirvana, flesh and blood." And the fifty third: "people have to take over Li Kui, fight a Buddha born, two Buddha nirvana." He also wrote "one Buddha is born, two Buddhas are born in heaven", Volume 5 of Ming Dynasty's Ling Mengchu's "two moment clapping a case and marveling at it": "zhenzhuji is thrown in disorder, crying that one Buddha is born, two Buddhas are born in heaven."
