The title "blowing Dafa Luo" is pronounced Chu ī D à f à Lu ó , which is originated from the preface to the Lotus Sutra: "today's Buddha Buddha wants to say Dafa, rain Dafa, rain Dafa, blowing Dafa Luo, beating Dafa drum and performing Dafa righteousness." Example: Volume 15 of five Lantern Festival yuan written by Song Shi Puji: "how about blowing Dafa snail, beating Dafa drum, and having a feast in the court?"

Blowing the big Faluo or blowing the Faluo is a metaphor of Buddhism, which is widely used by all living beings. The sound of the snail is brave, which means the power of Dafa.

For example, the preface to the Fahuajing also said: "blow the big Faluo, hit the big Falu." The admiration of the golden Guangming Sutra also said: "blow the big conch, beat the big drum, burn the big torch, and the rain is better than the rain." This kind of Faluo is not used in Chinese Buddhist monasteries nowadays, but it is still played in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries when they hold grand religious ceremonies. Because the hollow sound of the conch is loud, it can be heard from a long distance. Therefore, it is later used as a metaphor to describe boasting and boasting as "boasting".
