Note:
(1) Udumbara flowers - According to legend, this flower blossoms once every 3,000 years. According to Buddhist scriptures, "Udumbara" is a Sanskrit word meaning "an auspicious flower from heaven." Volume 8 of the Huilin Phonetics and Interpretation, a Buddhist scripture, says: "Udumbara is the product of ominous and supernatural phenomena; it is a celestial flower and does not exist in the mundane world. If a Tathagata or King of the Golden Wheel appears in the human world, this flower will manifest due to their great virtue and blessings." Udumbara flowers come into being in exceptional ways. This rare flower has so far been found on objects including Buddha statues, steel pipes, windows, leaves, and bricks. ( http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2007/8/18/88700.html )
