The origin of the flower on the other side of Greek mythology
Legend One,
A long, long time ago, the Santu River in Hades was full of large fields of flowers on the other side. There's something magical about its floral scent. can make people recall their past lives, guarding the flowers on the other side are two goblins, one is the flower demon, Manzhu, and the other is the leaf demon, Shahua.
The flowers and leaves on the other side have the same root, but they will never see each other.
The Flower Demon and the Leaf Demon have guarded the flowers on the other side for thousands of years, but they have never met, because there are no leaves when the flowers bloom, and the leaves only appear when the flowers are in the Flower Pavilion.
The Flower Demon and the Leaf Demon miss each other frantically, and are tormented by pain, and in July of one year, Manju Sawa secretly meets against the rules of the gods. In July of that year, the other side of the flower was as bright as blood...
The gods blamed him and sent Manju Shahua into samsara, and he was cursed forever, suffering in the human world for the rest of his life, and could not meet each other. Since then, the flower of the other side is also called Manju Sahua, which is a flower that blooms in heaven...
It is also the only flower that blooms on Huangquan Road...
Every time Manzhu and Sawa are reincarnated on the Huangquan Road, they can remember their past lives when they smell the fragrance of flowers on the other side, and then vow never to separate again, but they still fall into the cursed reincarnation next time.....
The flowers bloom on the other side, leading to the hell of the underworld....
The only way to break the curse is to find the real Manju Sahua, and it is the one that was formed by the tears of two people, and the one of them had all their blood stained red.......
In the end, Manju and Sahua still couldn't be together in this life..... Sometimes, you can see the flowers in full bloom, the bright red flowers are like the palms of the hands that pray only to heaven, so devout and passionate and hopeless happiness. This fire-like flower is full of sorrow but burning with the loyalty of love....
The flower belongs to the Lycoris family, and the genus name is the name of the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology.
The characteristic of Lycoris is that you can't see the leaves when the flowers bloom, and you can't see the flowers when there are leaves. That is to say, when the leaves are gone, the flowers begin to grow, and although they are born from the same root, the two never meet each other, and never see each other. Remembering each other and cherishing each other will never be lost, so reincarnated and the flowers and leaves will never see each other, and there is also a sad love that can never meet.
Legend II,
Legend has it that there were two people whose names were Pi and An, and God decreed that the two of them should never see each other. They cherished each other and admired each other, and finally one day, they met each other secretly in defiance of the rules of God.
After they met, he found that Shore was a beautiful woman, and Shore also found that he was a handsome and dashing young man.
The result was doomed, because of the violation of the rules of heaven, the relationship was finally ruthlessly stifled. Heaven sent down a punishment and gave the two of them a vicious curse, since they wanted to have a private meeting regardless of the rules of heaven, they let them become the flowers and leaves of a flower, but this flower is very peculiar, there are flowers without leaves, leaves without flowers, life and life, flowers and leaves are wrong.
Legend has it that after countless reincarnations, one day the Buddha came here, and saw a flower on the ground with extraordinary temperament, red like fire, and the Buddha came to it to look carefully, and saw the mystery at a glance. The Buddha was neither sad nor angry, but he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and reached out to pull the flower out of the ground.
The Buddha put the flower in his hand and said with emotion: "In the previous life, you couldn't see each other, after countless reincarnations, you can't stay in love, the so-called division and union is just fate and fate, you have the curse of heaven, so that you are destined but not dispersed, and you are not divided, I can't help you unravel this vicious spell, so I will take you to the other side, let you bloom all over the wilderness."
On the way to the other side, the Buddha passed by the Santu River in the underworld, and accidentally wet his clothes by the river, and there was the red flower that the Buddha carried, and when the Buddha came to the other side to untie the flower wrapped in his clothes and looked at it again, he found that the fiery red flowers had turned pure white.
The Buddha pondered for a moment and laughed: Great joy is not as good as great sorrow, it is better to remember than to forget, right and wrong, how can you tell it, good flowers, good flowers. The Buddha planted this flower on the other side and called it a mandala flower, and because it was on the other side, he called it the flower of the other side.
But the Buddha didn't know that he was on the Santu River, and the river was so faded that all the red dripping fell into the river, and he wailed all day long, which made people hear and mourn.
The Jizo Bodhisattva was very powerful, and when he learned that Mandala Hua had been born, he went to the river, took out a seed, and threw it into the river. After a while, a flower that was more red than the previous one grew out of the water.
Jizo took it in his hand and sighed: "You have escaped and are at ease, why do you want to leave this boundless hatred in the boundless hell of the already bitter sea? I will ask you to be a guide to guide them to samsara, just remember your color, there is a mandala on the other side, let's call you mansa beads."
Since then, there have been two completely different flowers on the other side of the world, one grows on the other side and the other is born on the side of the Santu River.
It is said that many years have passed, and there are two people in the world who love each other very much, but one year, the man was unfortunately killed when he went out to run errands, and he came to the Santu River, and saw the blood red in his eyes, and his heart was extremely sad.
He cried bitterly, "I don't want to be reincarnated, I'm going back to my wife, who is still waiting for me at home." ”
He stumbled to Meng Po, and before drinking the forgetful soup, he asked Meng Po why the world is like this, and in the end, this soup is the only one who forgets his feelings. Meng Po smiled and didn't say anything, just asked him to drink quickly, he looked at the soup blankly, and said: "Everyone has to forget their feelings, I don't forget, after reincarnation, I want to find my wife." ”
When the man's wife learned of his death, she was so grief-stricken that she was saved by the man's family several times, and finally the woman promised not to commit suicide, but to be widowed for the rest of her life.
When the man's family saw her strong personality, they were afraid that the old things would be brought up again, and they would make her sad in vain, so they thought that she had a heart, so they temporarily agreed to her and persuaded her to remarry after she was emotionally stable. In this way, the woman continued to live in the man's house, living by sewing.
He also said that after the man was reincarnated, he was really reborn in the town where he lived with the woman, time flew by, and unconsciously twenty years had passed, and one day he went out and passed by the door of the woman's widow, and felt strange in his heart, so he stopped and took a look, this look didn't matter, just happened to be seen by the woman head-on.
After reincarnation, the man's appearance and temperament have completely changed, but as soon as the woman saw him, tears flowed down her eyes, and she walked up to the man and said, "You came to me." And he fainted to the ground.
The man saw an old woman he didn't know fall in front of him, and hurriedly fled the place in fright.
Later, the woman was seriously ill, and she said something over and over before she died, but her voice was too small for anyone to hear clearly, so she didn't care, and the woman finally shed two lines of blood and tears, and died with a whimper.
When the woman came to the underworld, she saw Meng Po and suddenly asked her very lightly:
"Old woman, did a man tell you here before that he would not forget me and would definitely come back to me?"
Meng Po nodded. The woman was very distressed, and choked up:
"Then why did he come back and refuse to recognize me, even if he said something to me and came to see me before I died. ”
Meng Po patted her on the shoulder and said, "You love each other very much, I appreciate your courage, so let's do it, when the answer comes in twenty years, I promise to show you, but you can't be reincarnated before this, and you have to suffer here for twenty years, are you willing?"
The woman said, "I am willing, if I don't see that answer, I can't let go of my love for him, even if I am reincarnated, I will have a heartache for a lifetime." ”
The woman was then arranged by Meng Po to hoe grass for the flowers on the other side, in fact, there was no grass to hoe, but the woman's eyes were full of grass, hoeing and growing, never hoeing, just day after day, year after year.
Twenty years later, Meng Po brought her to the gate of reincarnation and said:
"You stand here and watch, but don't speak, the man you've been waiting for twenty years is coming. ”
The woman couldn't stand up in excitement, and finally calmed down, and stood there nervously waiting for the person she loved to appear.
At last he came, and it turned out that he was sick, not cured, and in his early forties, he died again. He walked up to her and Meng Po, and Meng Po handed him the water of forgetfulness, and he picked it up and was about to drink it, but the woman was anxious and said:
"Have you forgotten what you said?" the man glanced at her, drank the water from the bowl in his hand, and walked through the reincarnation door.
Meng Po looked at the depressed woman and said:
"What is love? It's just a bowl of water, you drink it too, can you forget that it's not up to you to decide, there is this life, there is no afterlife, even if you remember, if he forgets, what is the difference between it and really forgetting?"
The Buddha said:
Sanskrit paramita
This cloud to the other side
Interpretation is separated from life and death
The environment is born and destroyed
Like water with waves
That is the name of this shore
There is no life or death when leaving the country
Like water always flowing
It's called the other side
There is no life and no death on the other side
No suffering, no sorrow
No desires, no desires
It's a blissful world that forgets everything
And there is a kind of flower
Beyond the Three Realms
Not in the five elements
Born on the other side of weak water
Dazzling crimson
That's the other side flower
Flowers bloom on the other side
Flowers bloom on the other side
The flowers bloom without leaves
The leaves are flowerless
I miss each other but can't see each other
Alone on the other side of the road
