The concept came from the China Buddhist history book "Five Lantern Lights" written by Puji in the Song Dynasty. This idiom was used in daily life to persuade others to be good.

The concept of becoming a Buddha on the spot originated from the history books of Zen Buddhism. From the point of view of Zen Buddhism, everyone had Buddha nature. Even those who had accumulated evil could become Buddhas as long as they abandoned evil and became good. For example, Guang-er killed people without blinking and became Buddhas immediately after putting down his butcher knife. In the modern context,"becoming a Buddha on the spot" had many meanings. On the one hand, it was to persuade people to change from evil to good. Once the evildoer realized his crimes and was determined to change, he could quickly become a good person. From the perspective of self-cultivation, it is to let go of self-harm and avoid wasting physical and mental energy to cultivate good faith. From the perspective of a family, unit, or collective, putting aside internal strife and disputes, establishing rules, and keeping promises was the way to harmony and success. However, this concept was also controversial. Logically speaking, for a person who was filled with evil, just putting down the butcher's knife (stopping evil) seemed to wipe away all the sins and harm he had committed. He could even become a Buddha immediately. This concept was difficult for some people to understand. However, at the societal level, this concept also had positive significance. For example, in the war-torn times in history, it could give the evil people a step down, reduce killing, and allow society to recuperate. In modern society, it could also guide people to turn over a new leaf. For example, some people recognized their mistakes after making mistakes and faced them bravely, and finally walked on the right path. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

The meaning was often not a simple addition of the literal meaning, but had specific cultural implications and extended meanings, such as "carving a boat for a sword" and "covering one's ears and stealing a bell". Words were a combination of words and phrases, including simple words and compound words."Becoming a Buddha on the spot" did not conform to the definition of idioms, nor was it a conventional word.
