A flash in the pan belongs only to Wei Tuo.

Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, surnamed Wei Mingkun, also known as General Wei Tian. He is one of the eight generals under King Nan Cheng, and the first of the thirty-two generals among the four kings. It is the most famous protector of monks, monasteries and fasting offerings. Daoxuan in the Tang Dynasty believed that General Wei was the son of heaven, an innocent child and the master of ghosts and gods. When the Buddha died, General Wei was ordered by the Buddha to protect the law. Academics believe that this deity was originally the son of Shiva or Ayani, one of Indian Brahmanism deities, and was later absorbed by Buddhism and became the patron saint of Buddhism together with Mo Sindela. General Wei Kun, who has been circulated in China since the Tang and Song Dynasties, is not a god. In later generations, Buddhists in China gradually mixed Indian Wei Tuotian with General Wei, who preached his dreams, thus forming the Wei Tuo Bodhisattva.

Since the Song Dynasty, Wei Tuo, known as the Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, has been worshipped in temples in China, often standing behind Maitreya Bodhisattva, facing the Mahatma Hall, protecting Buddhism and helping monks.

Conventional couplets in Wei Tuo Hall of Jungle;

Three continents are hard to miss, and you have the truth to protect me;

A powerful god is awesome, and people have no evil thoughts.

The secret bodhisattva, now a general, often puts on armor in years to destroy evil and help righteousness;

In order to protect the dharma god, the Buddha told me that the golden soup of the Buddha country is to rely on the dharma to teach monks.

Epiphyllum was originally a flower god. She blooms every day and the seasons are brilliant. She also fell in love with the young people who water and weed her every day. Later, the jade emperor learned that he was furious and wanted to break up with Yuanyang. The Jade Emperor arrested the flower god, reduced her to an epiphyllum that can only bloom for a while every year, prevented her from meeting her lover again, and sent the young man to Lingshan to become a monk, named him Wei Tuo, to make him forget the past and the flower god.

Over the years, Wei Tuo really forgot the flower god, concentrated on studying Buddhism, and gradually achieved something. Flower God will never forget the young man who took care of her. She knew that every year at the end of spring, Wei Tuo would come down to collect morning dew and cook tea for the Buddha. So Epiphyllum chose to open at that time. At that moment, she bloomed the essence that had been gathered for a whole year. She hoped that Wei Tuo could look back and remember her. But after thousands of years, Wei Tuo went down the mountain to collect morning dew every year. Epiphyllum blooms silently year after year. Wei Tuo no longer remembers her.

Until one day, a scrawny person walked through the epiphyllum and saw the melancholy and loneliness of the flower god. He stopped and asked the flower god, "Why are you sad?" . The flower god is amazed, because mortals can't see the true body of the flower god. If there is golden light on the head of Luo Jinxian, if there is black gas on the head of the devil, if there is no light on the head of the mortal. As a passing mortal, how can you see your true self? The flower god hesitated for a moment and only answered "You can't help me". Waiting silently for Wei Tuo not to answer this person.

Forty years later, the thin man walked through the epiphyllum again and repeatedly asked the sentence forty years ago, "Why are you sad?" The flower god hesitated for a while, but only replied, "You may not be able to help me." The thin man walked away with a smile. After 40 years, another skinny old man appeared in the flower god, and the skinny old man looked even more dying. The man of that year has become an old man, but he still asked the same words as 80 years ago, "Why are you sad?" . Epiphyllum replied, "thank you, mortal. You have begged me three times in your life, but you are mortal and dying after all." What can you do for me? I am a flower god who is punished by God because of love. " The old man smiled and said, "I am Yu Ming's family. I just came to break the fate of no results 80 years ago. " Flower God, I have a word for you. The origin and end of fate, flowers bloom and dust fall. "Then the old man closed his eyes and sat down. Time passed gradually, and the last ray of sunshine of the sunset began to brush from the old man's hair to his eyes. The old man laughed, "Wei Tuo is a flash in the pan, what's wrong with such love? I will be punished by heaven, and I will lie with my eyes open. "Let's talk about it. The old man grabbed the flower god and the sunset slipped into his eyes. The old man died at once and went to the Buddha country with him. The flower god met Wei Tuo in the Buddhist country. Wei Tuo finally remembered his previous marriage. When the Buddha knew about it, he allowed Wei Tuo to come to earth and end the unfinished marriage. Because the old man in Yu Ming violated heaven, his soul wandered all his life. You can't drive a crane westward, and you can't enter the pure land of the Oriental Buddha. You will be punished by heaven, and there will be no reincarnation.

A flash in the pan, just for Wei Tuo. So Epiphyllum is also called Wei Huatuo. Also because epiphyllum is not seen until after sunset in Wei Tuo, it is open at night.
