According to Buddhist scriptures, the udumbara is a sacred flower that comes from the Buddha’s realms. The flower’s name comes from Sanskrit and means “auspicious flower from heaven.” It is of the purest white, untainted by the colors of the temporal world. Mahayana Buddhism’s scripture The Lotus Sutra describes it as: “A mythical flower, blooming once every 3,000 years, heralding the advent of the King of the Golden Wheel.” Another Buddhist scripture, Huilin Phonetics and Interpretations, describes it as such: “The udumbara is the product of ominous and supernatural phenomena; it is a celestial flower that cannot be found in the mundane world. If the King of the Golden Wheel descends to the human world, the flower will manifest following the appearance of this great virtue and blessing.” In 2005, the udumbara flower was suddenly spotted on Buddha statues in South Korea, at Yongjusa temple in Gyeonggi province and at a temple on Mt. Meru in South Jeolla province. Since then, additional sightings of the udumbara have been reported all over the world.
I have always wanted to share with everyone the way I perceive or understand things and Universe... Here I am, blogging about how I try to understand things around me and how my thoughts always are around moral values and its effects. I have learnt in life and believe that Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance are the most basic principles in the entire Universe. :)
Keep Smiling.. :-)

Unprecedented torture...
I have been aware about the persecution of good people in China, but never knew what a horror it was. I was literally taken aback by the way human moral standards have declined as i watched A Decade of Courage.
What kind of a gangster regime is the CCP? There is still no reason for the persecution but its more than 12.5 years now since it started and it continues even today. Hundreds of torture methods; And the persecution is almost underground!
But what was it that they did wrong? Being truthful, compassionate and tolerant?? They were picked for their righteous faith. Abouy 70-100 million Practitioners are still persecuted in China. This is more than the population of:
UK - 62 million
France - 63 million
Germany - 82 million
Human organ harvest also has been reported to be happening in China.
It was in 1997-98 when a survey was done on Falun Gong practitioners in China and it was found that their health had improved miraculously after the practice and all their organs were in a very good state. Hence, after the persecution started, organ harvesting began. The human organs are sold at very high prices around the world:
Heart - US$ 160,000
Cornea - US$ 30,000
Kidney - US$ 62,000
Liver - US$ 130,000
Lung - US$ 170,000
36 "Live" Human Organ Prisons exist today in China.
And that is why I think Chinese economy has been booming in the last decade!
Falun Gong practitioners don't fight back, not even i self defense. Their only weapon is-peaceful resistance.
The persecution of Falun Gong must end...
and IT MUST END NOW...!!
P.S.: Another very touching short video song. :)
Falun Dafa is good. :) :) :)
