Legends and myths about trees

Trees in Buddhism (2)

Udumbara (Ficus racemosa) - Tree that flowers only once every 3000 years

In Buddhism, udumbara (Pali, Skt) refers to the tree, flower and fruit of the Ficus racemosa. In Buddhist literature, this tree or its fruit may carry the connotation of rarity and parasitism. It is also mentioned in Vedic texts as the source of wood for rituals and amulets.

According to some Buddhist scriptures, the flowers of the udumbara are enclosed within its fruit, as in all figs (Ref). Because the flower is hidden inside the fruit, a legend developed to explain the absence and supposed rarity of the visual flower. And it flowers only once every 3,000 years, at which time the ‘Golden Wheel-turning Sage King’ appears in this world.

In early medieval Japan and possibly elsewhere this flower is believed to be capable of saving the lives of those dying from disease. It is mentioned in the Heian Japanese classic Utsubo Monogatari.

Udumbara, also known as Ficus racemosa, the cluster fig, red river fig or gular, is a species of plant in the family Moraceae. It is native to Australia and tropical Asia. It is a fast-growing plant with large, very rough leaves, usually attaining the size of a large shrub, although older specimens can grow quite large and gnarled. It is unusual in that its figs grow on or close to the tree trunk, termed cauliflory.

In both the Digha Nikaya and Buddhavamsa, the udumbara tree is identified as former bodhi tree that the tree under which the Konagamana Buddha (the second Buddha of the bhadrakalpa) attained enlightenment.

木にまつわる伝説・神話

仏教の樹木 (2)

うどんげ (ﾌｨｶｽ･ﾗｾﾓｻ) 〜3000年に一度しか花が咲かない木

仏教では、ウドゥンバラ (パーリ語、サンスクリット語、和訳: 優曇華) は、フィカス・ラセモサの木、花、果実を指す。仏教の文献では、この木やその果実は、希少性や寄生の意味合いを持つことがある。また、ヴェーダのテキストでは、儀式やお守りのための木材の供給源として言及されている。

仏教経典では、うどんげの花は、すべてのイチジク（参照）と同じように果実の中に収められている。花は果実の中に隠されているため、視覚的な花がなく、珍しいとされることを説明する伝説が生まれた。また、3000年に一度だけ花が咲くといい、その時に金輪王が現世に出現するという。

中世初期の日本やその他の地域では、この花は病気で死ぬ人の命を救う力があると信じられていた。平安時代の日本の古典『うつぼ物語』にも登場する。

うどんげ (優曇華) は、別名、フサナリイチジク、レッド･リバーイチジク、ギューラとも呼ばれる、モクセイ科の植物の一種。オーストラリアと熱帯アジアが原産である。葉は大きく、非常に粗く、通常は大きな低木の大きさになるが、古い標本はかなり大きくなり、ぎざぎざになることもある。イチジクの果実が木の幹の上や近くに生えるのが特徴で、カリフローリーと呼ばれる。

『長部 (ちょうぶ、巴: ﾃﾞｨｰｶﾞ･ﾆｶｰﾔ/DN)』と『仏種姓経 (ぶっしゅしょうきょう、巴: ﾌﾞｯﾀﾞ･ｳﾞｧﾝｻ)』では、うどんげの木は、コナガマナ・ブッダ（バドラカルパの第2番目のブッダ）が悟りを開いた菩提樹の元木とされている。

hey someone found the original sound effects heard in the 90s anime. Not the ones edited by Toei or in the Sailor Moon OST, but the actual original sounds and the album they came from! A lot of them are music cues!

Gulzar’s nazms for children: ‘If you observe them, you will want to engage with them and listen to them’

From the poetic  Sa Re Ke Sare Ga Ma Ko Lekar ( Parichay, 1972) and the irreverent  Masterji Ki Aa Gayi Chitthi ( Kitaab, 1977), to prayers like  Hum Ko  Man Ki Shaki Dena, Man Vijay Kare ( Guddi, 1971) and  Ae Watan ( Raazi,2018), Gulzar, over the years, has also built a repertoire of songs devoted to the innocent, impish and idealistic side of childhood.  After  Jungle Book and  Potli Baba…
