"Looking for the Dragon" tells the story of a "flower on the other side". The movie doesn't talk about the background of this flower, so let's come here first. The origin of the flower on the other side comes from Buddhism. In the Lotus Sutra, it is said that the World Honored Sakyamuni spoke the Mahayana Sutra for the bodhisattvas. After he finished speaking, he sat in the cross-legged position without moving his body and mind. At that time, the flower fell into the ceiling. There are four flowers, which are: Rain Mandala Flower, Maha Mandhara Flower, Manzhu Sha Hua, Maha Man Zhu Sha Hua. These four flowers, that is, smallpox, which is what we often say "smallpox", here is the origin of the word. Now this word is a bit deviant and has a derogatory connotation. The original word is serious, and the flowers that fall, among which the mandala flower and the manzhusha flower are the other shore flowers. Among them, the mandala flower is red, and the manzhusha flower is white. "Hua" means "flower" in ancient Chinese, and the mandala flower is the mandala flower; Maha means big, and the Maha mandala flower is the extra-large mandala flower that blooms. Therefore, the four types of smallpox are actually two types in modern scientific terms, and they are collectively referred to as the other side flowers. As the flower of the celestial realm, the heavens can drop this flower at will, especially when preaching the scriptures, to solemnly preach the dharma, so that those who see it will be cut off from bad karma.
