Nice find AKO....many tks. Quoting: saffire&gold In the vid I wish he explained how the flower grows on cars buildings etc. Unless he meant it appears as a painting on the objects. hmmm.....more research needed. 5* Look at :31 in the vid, it shows the 'flowers' growing from various objects, without the need for soil. |

It must be an air plant. Cool to see growing :-) An epiphyte is a plant that grows non-parasitically upon another plant (such as a tree), and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, and sometimes from debris accumulating around it instead of the structure it is fastened to. An epiphytic organism that is not a plant is not called an epiphyte. [link to en.m.wikipedia.org] Edit to add we grew ours on a wall :-) |

According to legend, this flower blossoms once every 3,000 years. This is the first North American sighting after they were spotted in Korea, Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. "Udumbara is the product of ominous and supernatural phenomena; it is a celestial flower and does not exist in the mundane world. If a Tathagata or King of the Golden Wheel appears in the human world, this flower will manifest due to their great virtue and blessings." "King of the Golden Wheel appears in the human world" is interpreted as "Holy King Who Turns the Wheel, rectifying the Dharma in the world, for which the appearance of Udumbara blossoms is a sign." According to Buddhist scriptures, like a Buddha, the Holy King Who Turns the Wheel has 32 manifestations and seven treasures. He is an ideal king who turns the Wheel that rectifies the Dharma, not through force but through justice in order to rule the world. Regardless of one's religious affiliation--Buddhism, Christianity or Confucianism--anyone who offers compassion to people will have the opportunity to meet the Holy King Who Turns the Wheel. The Prajna Paramita (or The Great Perfection of Wisdom) Sutra says, "One cannot always keep the human body; wealth is but a dream; when nothing is lacking, it is difficult to persist in a righteous belief. When a Tathagata talks of the profound and wonderful Dharma, isn't it as precious and rare as the Udumbara?" [link to en.minghui.org] |

The excepting of all would be containing those who are not able within your field upon death and assist them in the rebirth process (conscious rebirth), an honor I would say. Compassion upon a moral evaluation. |
