The Legend of Bana Flower

According to legend, there used to be two people named Bi and An. God decreed that they could never meet each other. They cherished each other and admired each other. Finally one day, they met secretly despite Gods rules. As the saying goes, there is a connection between hearts. After they met, An found that An was a beautiful woman, and An also found that An was a handsome young man. They hit it off and fell in love with each other, and they formed a century-old friendship. Stay together forever for all eternity.

The result was doomed. Because it violated the rules of heaven, this relationship was eventually ruthlessly strangled. Heaven punished the two of them and gave them an extremely vicious curse. Since they wanted to have a private meeting regardless of Heavens rules, they were turned into the flowers and leaves of a flower. However, this flower was very strange. There were flowers but no leaves. There are no flowers in life, but in life after life, the flowers and leaves are in opposite directions.

It is said that after countless reincarnations, one day the Buddha came here and saw a flower on the ground that was extraordinary and red like fire. The Buddha came to it and looked at it carefully. Then he saw the secret. The Buddha was neither sad nor angry. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times, stretched out his hand and pulled the flower out of the ground. The Buddha put the flower in his hand and said with emotion: "In the past life, you missed each other and could not see each other. After countless reincarnations, you can't love each other and stay together. The so-called separation and union are just fate and fate. You have a curse from heaven. Let me Even though your fate is gone, you are still together, and your fate is gone but you are not separated. I can’t help you break this vicious spell, so I will take you to the other side and let you bloom everywhere there.

On his way to the other side, the Buddha passed by the Santu River in the underworld and accidentally got his clothes wet by the river water. There was the red flower that the Buddha was carrying. , when the Buddha came to the other side and unwrapped the flowers wrapped in his clothes to look again, he found that the fiery red flowers had turned into pure white. The Buddha pondered for a moment,Laughing cloud: Great joy is not as great as great sadness, remembering is worse than forgetting, right and wrong, how can we distinguish right from wrong, what a flower, what a flower. The Buddha planted this flower on the other shore and called it Mandala Flower, and because it was on the other shore, he called it the Flower of the Other Shore.

But the Buddha didn't know that he was on the Santu River. The water faded so much that all the red flowers dropped into the river. He kept wailing all day long, which made people feel sad. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was very powerful. When he learned that the mandala flower had grown, he came to the river, took out a seed and threw it into the river. After a while, a red flower that was more red than the previous one grew out of the water. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Taking it in his hand, he sighed: You escaped and found great freedom, why do you want to keep this boundless hatred in the hell that is already a boundless sea of ??suffering? I ask you to be a messenger to guide them to reincarnation. Just remember your color. There is a Mandala flower on the other side, so let’s call you Mansha Zhuhua.

Since then, there have been two completely different kinds of flowers on the other side of the world, one growing on the other side and the other growing on the Santu River. Many years later, there were two people in the world who loved each other very much. But one year, the man was unfortunately killed when he was out on business. He came to the Santu River and saw his eyes full of blood. He felt extremely sad and cried bitterly. He said: "I don't want reincarnation. I want to go back to find my wife. She is still waiting for me at home." He stumbled to Po Mengs place. Before drinking the Wangqing Soup, he asked Po Meng why everything in the world was like this. Tang alone makes people forget their feelings. Po Meng smiled and said nothing, but asked him to drink it quickly. He looked at the soup blankly and said, "Everyone has to forget their feelings, but I will never forget them. After reincarnation, I will go find my wife."

After the mans wife learned of his death, she was extremely sad. She tried to commit suicide several times but was saved by the mans family. In the end, the woman agreed not to commit suicide, but she would remain a widow for the rest of her life. The mans family first saw that she had a strong personality and were afraid of bringing up the past and making her sad. Secondly, they thought of her, so they temporarily agreed to her, and they would persuade her to remarry after her mood stabilized. In this way, the woman continued to live in the mans house and made a living by sewing.

He also said that after reincarnation, the man was actually reborn in the small town where he lived with the woman. Time flew by and twenty years passed before he knew it. One day he went out Passing by the widowed womans door, I felt something strange in my heart, so I stopped and took a look. It didn't matter, as the woman happened to see her face to face. After reincarnation, the mans appearance and temperament had completely changed, but as soon as the woman saw him, tears flowed down. She walked up to the man and said, "You came to see me." Then she fainted. land. When the man saw an unknown old woman lying in front of him, he quickly fled the place in fear.

Later, this woman became seriously ill and couldn't afford it. Before she died, she kept saying something over and over again, but her voice was too low and no one heard her clearly, so she didn't care. In the end, the woman shed two lines of bloody tears. , died. When the woman came to the underworld and saw Po Meng, she suddenly asked her softly: "Old woman, was there a man here who told you before that he would never forget me and would definitely come back to me?" Po Meng nodded. The woman felt very distressed and choked up: "Then why did he refuse to acknowledge me when he came back? Even if he said a word to me, he would have come to see me before I died." Po Meng patted her on the shoulder and said: "You love each other very much, and I appreciate your courage. Lets do this. When the answer comes twenty years later, I promise to let you see it, but you can't be reincarnated before that, and you have to suffer here for twenty years. Are you willing? "The woman said: "I do. If I don't see that answer, I can't let go of my love for him. Even if I am reincarnated, I will still be heartbroken for the rest of my life." So the woman was arranged by Po Meng to weed the flowers on the other side. In fact, there was no grass to weed. But a womans eyes are full of grass, which grows again after hoeing, and it can never be finished, day after day, year after year.

Twenty years later, Po Meng brought her to the Gate of Reincarnation and said, "You stand here and watch, but don't talk. You have been waiting for twenty years." , is coming." The woman was so excited that she couldn't stand still. She finally calmed down and stood there nervously waiting for the person she loved to appear. Finally he came over. It turned out that he was ill and had not been cured. He was in his early forties and died again. He walked up to her and Po Meng. Po Meng handed him the Wangqing Water. He picked it up and was about to drink it. The woman was anxious and said, "Have you forgotten what you said?" The man glanced at her and held the bowl in his hand. He drank all the water in it and then walked into the door of reincarnation.

Meng Po looked at the lost woman and said, what is love? Its just a bowl of water. You should drink it. Its not your decision whether you can forget it. There is this life and no afterlife. Even if you remember it, if he forgets it, whats the difference between it and really forgetting it?
