The Meaning of the Datura Flower
In our country, datura is regarded as a sacred object of Buddhism. Only those born lucky have the chance to see it, and seeing it can bring endless happiness. Because Buddhist practice is about observing the world with a pure heart, walking the mortal world with few desires, holding nothing in hand, and seeing all forms as empty, long, long ago this white flower without a pistil was regarded by people as the incarnation of the divine, symbolizing emptiness, no-mind, and peace of mind.
In ancient India, the datura flower was both the door knocker of the gate of desire and the foundation for constructing magnificent scenes. It was spread out and became a grand mandala ritual site, serving as the “trumpet of angels (devils).”
But in Western legends, datura has always been given a terrifying color. It is said that in ancient Spain, the datura flower was like an indifferent onlooker, often blooming near execution grounds, numbly praying over every soul as life faded away. This flower is highly toxic in all its parts, and it is said that among ten million people only one has the chance to see it bloom, so whoever meets the one who sees it bloom will have their beloved die an untimely death.
In legend, datura is a flower that exists only in the underworld. It was said that the King of the Underworld specially brought it to the mortal world to commemorate his grandson's reincarnation as a human. This is incorrect here; the underworld has only one flower, namely the equinox flower. The white equinox flower blooms on the other shore, that is, in heaven, and is named mandarava; the red flower blooms beside the Three-Life Stone at the Wangchuan River and is named manjusaka.
