Talk:Udumbara (Buddhism)

internet meme/urban legend
There have been a rash of recent news articles discussing the "rare udambara flower, which blooms only once every 3000 years" - as far as I have been able to tell, this qualifies as an "urban legend", and the photographs of this "flower" are all photographs of lacewing eggs. I suspect it is only a matter of time before some well-meaning editor attempts to insert some of this into this Wikipedia article, so consider this a heads-up that there are NO RELIABLE SOURCES for the claims, nor the photos.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/7345137/Rare-Buddhist-flower-found-under-nuns-washing-machine.html

provides an example. "Miao Wei, 50, was cleaning when she discovered the cluster of white flowers under the washing machine. At first she thought the barely-there stems were worm eggs, however, the next day she discovered that the stems had grown 18 white tiny flowers on top and smelled "fragrant"."

I think it's worth including the fact that many people regard lacewing eggs as udumbara. If you google udumbara, most pictures that come up are these eggs. Yel D&#39;ohan (talk) 05:59, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * And if you google "god", you'll get a nice looking Jewish boy with a beard who walks on water. Probably not the best metric. Viriditas (talk) 06:28, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * And indeed I think the most common Protestant imagery used to represent God should be included somewhere. Probably already is. Yel D&#39;ohan (talk) 16:28, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Because Falun Gong base on Buddhism's book to said that the Chrysopidae eggs is Udumbra. Falun Gong wrote about 1000 papers to share on 100 website Viet language for ten years. So more and more people believe that Chrysopidae eggs is Udumbra. But the fact Buddhism's book don't mention size, color, and shape of Udumbra in some Buddhism's book which Falun Gong cite. There are many paper on Falun Gong web site base Udumbra to Said that Li Hongzhi is God of God, and Buddha of Buddha. But the fact Udumbra by Falun Gong is Chrysopidae eggs.
