A female peacock saw the Buddha first, and she was so happy that she shouted, "Come and see, the Almighty Buddha has come to visit us!" Hearing the shout, the peacocks rushed to pay their respects to the Buddha.

At this time, the Buddha shot a bright golden light, the Buddha light to the female peacock, the female peacock body like a colorful feathers, looks very beautiful and lovely. Seeing this scene, the Buddha was very surprised. When he said goodbye, he urged again and again: "Peacock ah, you have become so beautiful and lovely, to 'Pang Para' (worship), we will meet again."

Until the last day of the "Pendulum Para", the golden peacocks from the "Tianzhu Mountain" rushed to the pendulum field. Because the Buddha was surrounded by the crowd, the peacocks could not get close to the Buddha, they were very anxious, what to do? The peacocks discussed the matter with each other, and finally decided to open the dance floor outside the crowd, and unfolded the beautiful colorful screen in front of the Buddha.

When they danced, people's eyes turned to them, but also coincidentally while playing the elephant foot drum, enthusiastically accompanied them to make way for the peacocks. At this time, the peacocks offered their colorful feathers to the Buddha. People also sang a beautiful hymn: "The peacocks are most eager for light, their hearts are as clear as the moon; they dedicate their colorful screens to people, unwilling to write their merits into the sutra, we should be as diligent as they are to create happiness, as they are kind to people."
