What is the meaning of the flower language of Datura?
Article Guide: This article discusses the flower language of Datura, its symbolism and legends related to flower planting. Let's delve into the details together.
Today, I heard a short story about the legend of Datura: Long ago, there were no deserts in the world. Human greed angered God, who then created deserts but entrusted them to the Water God to manage. One day, the Water God saw a woman searching for water and fell deeply in love with her. To fulfill her wish, the Water God secretly indicated the location of the water source and secretly released water. This woman was Datura.
Later, God learned that the Water God had fallen in love with a human woman and had abandoned his duties. In anger, God wanted to destroy the Water God's soul. The Datura flowers, which grew in the desert and were cared for by the Water God, were willing to share their life with the Water God and enter the cycle of reincarnation in the human world, begging God for forgiveness for the Water God. Touched by Datura, God banished the Water God to the cycle of reincarnation in the human world, while Datura became an ordinary flower, highly toxic.
Datura is highly toxic but lacks a flower heart. According to legend, when the gods in heaven start to preach the Dharma, a shower of white Datura flowers will begin to fall from the sky, continuously drifting down to the human world. This white Datura brings good luck and happiness to those fortunate enough to see it. Since Datura does not have a pistil, it is also seen as the embodiment of a heartless, hollow god, making it a Buddhist sacred object.
I used to think of Datura as a drug, but I didn't expect it to have so many beautiful legends.
