The Mystical Udumbara 優曇婆羅花
The mystical udumbara is not a dream
Its fragrance penetrates the darkest night
And up into the heavens
There is a sea of udumbara flowers
Surrounded by countless layers of misty clouds
As pure as jade
Shining with ethereal light
They dance inside the Buddha's palms
And descend to this world
Responding to the Holy King
Blossoming in different places
According to predestined arrangements
Or suddenly flourishing simultaneously into ten directions
With each flower representing another world
Tens of thousands of worlds rejoice
Luminous like the snow under a full moon
Bright like the dew in deep forests
How they move with a free and easy spirit
Yet blooming only once every three thousand years
Heralding the advent of the King of the Golden Wheel
