UDUMBARA the name.
The Udumbara flower, or “an auspicious flower from heaven” in Sanskrit.
The time I started the pottery (1994) and for many years I was a practicing Buddhist.
UDUMBARA name comes from Buddhism, plainly it means no sorrow. The name is a memory for the quest to live an authentic life...finding the way for true self is not easy, not for anyone.
Thich Nhat Hanh places the flower in the context of enlightenment.
To see a fully awakened person, a Buddha, is so rare that it is like seeing an udumbara flower. In the Tu Hieu Monastery in Hue, there is a scroll which says: "The udumbara flower, although fallen from the stem, is still fragrant." Just as the fragrance of the udumbara flower cannot be destroyed, our capacity for enlightenment is always present. The Buddha taught that everyone is a Buddha, everyone is an udumbara flower.
