What is the meaning of white amaryllis?
This article shares the meaning of white amaryllis and related knowledge about the green plants and flowers concerning its symbolism and legends. Let's find out the details explained by the editor.
The language of white amaryllis
White amaryllis refers to Datura, which is originally a flower from heaven, different from曼珠沙华 (Red Spider Lily). Datura appears abruptly during the time of Buddha's revelation, with wonderful colors and fragrance that bring joy to those who see it. However, its language is somewhat contradictory, some say it represents endless longing, disappointed love, or even a message from hell.
The legend of white amaryllis
The legend of white amaryllis is quite different from that of曼珠沙华, at least in terms of emotional tone.
White amaryllis (Datura) also represents the forty thousand grasses, but it is a flower of hell (whereas 曼珠沙华 is a flower of heaven).
It is said that the road to hell is always full of white amaryllis. As the souls walk towards hell, a flower blooms with every step they take until they reach it.
Moreover, above the gates of hell, which are surrounded by white amaryllis, present a very beautiful scene. Such a beautiful sight creates a sense of purity and solemnity.
On the other hand,曼珠沙华 is the opposite; it is the flower of heaven and the flower of demons, red as blood, and red to the point of desolation. Unlike Datura, it gives a more desolate feeling.
