Splendid Bird

Sanskrit Kalingbinga KALAVIUKA. Regarding the introduction of Kaling Binga, there are 9 entries in Ding Fubao's "Buddhist Dictionary". It is recorded in the "Zhengfa Chanting Sutra" that: "In the valleys and wilderness, there are many Kaling Bingas, who produce wonderful sounds, as if they are gods (gods) and humans, but Kinnara (gods of songs) are incomparable." "Huiyuan Sound and Meaning" says: "Jialing Binga" Pinga, this cloud-sounding bird, or cloud-sounding bird. This bird originates from the snowy mountains and can sing in its shell. Its sound is so gentle that the listener will never tire of it." In addition, the "Buddhist Dictionary" also mentions the Kaling Binga dance. Article: "...the name of the dance canon is translated as bird or silent music. It is the ancient music of Linyi (Champa). On the day of offering sacrifices in Tianzhu Gion Garden, Kaling Pinga came to dance. At that time, Miaoyin Tian played this music. Ananda (Shi "One of the top ten disciples of Kamuni) spread the word," it can be seen that there are records about Kalingpinka in many Buddhist scriptures, indicating that they come from Indian mythology and Buddhist legends, and are half-human and half-bird gods. Birds are offered as music and dance before the Buddha.
