MERRY CHRISTMAS MEANING.

-          

     The Sala tree or Tree of Sorrows is a tree attached to Buddhism. You can find this plant in many temples in Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar and even Vietnam. Although not every temple, but almost every Buddhist know about Sala trees as a species associated with the birth of the Buddha.

 

Flowers are not

I. Prevailing Buddhist legends:

1. The birth of the Buddha:

According to legend, Queen Maya - the Buddha's mother - on the way back home to give birth to visit the garden Lumbini. When she was in labor, there was a Sala tree that was open to her and she was born from the queen's hips. When he walked seven steps, at his feet bore seven lotuses. 

Buddha was born

The sculptures in the ancient temples are decorated with the Maya with the right hand holding the flowers. 

2.The Buddha's passing time:

We have been told that the Buddha passed away under the root of two trees of the unconquered. It was not the bloom season of the tree, but the whole tree bloomed brightly and the petals surrounding the Buddha were like rain. His disciples were amazed, the Buddha explained that it was blooming from within our minds through the process of practicing, religion was just the outer layer of cultivation. never mind.

Blossoming flowers are thick red color

II.Hua prudence in the legends Corollary:

In Indian legends, the tree of pride is likened to the body of a woman. It is believed that the tree will bloom when women touch.

During the Dohada festival, beautiful young women are often chosen to touch the tree with their left leg to help the plant to flower.

The followers of Hinduism also said that the tree of pride is a symbol of love, which is dedicated to the queen of love.

III.Full sense flowers:

About the name translated into Vietnamese is unpretentious, often explained as not anxious anxiety.However, in the Buddhist sense, pride is the insight and perception of life by pure gaze that does not contain prejudice or clinging. There is neither we nor dharma, regardless of one and the other, regardless of good - bad, rich, poor, class ....

In the rushed social life with so much information transmitted, inadvertently or deliberately we often absorb that information. Therefore, we often look at things through the lens is not clear, we have been "poisoned" in the perception of others that abandon their own sense. Flowers as a symbol to remind people to find the Buddha nature that humans are available at birth. The Buddha-nature in each of us is more or less obscured when hurriedly living, hurriedly swirling the social circle.

IV. Scientific characteristics:

The scientific name is Saraca Asoka, Shorea Robusta, belonging to the Asalpinioidae family.

Common names in folk are shala or sal.

Sloan trees often grow much south of the Himalayas, in South Asian countries such as India, Myanmar, Nepal, etc.

Treeless tree is a tree that grows slowly but gives solid, strong and big wood. The rambutan tree can be as high as 35 meters and its wood is often used to build ancient temples in Buddhism and other religious temples in India.

Treeless trees often bloom directly from the trunk with thick, dark red petals. It is said that flowers bloom directly from the trunk just as the Buddha was born from the queen Maya hips.

Inconsequent flowers grow directly from the trunk

  

There is a great deal of controversy nowadays that the primal tree we often see in the temple and the tree in the legend of the Buddha is one. However, this is important if we pay close attention to the meaning of the tree. Arguments and proofs please for the scientists.END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.11/6/2017.
