Once upon a time, there was a man named Do. He worked as a butcher, killing pigs for a living. He was known for being fierce and hot-tempered. However, one day, he met an old Buddhist monk on the road. The monk spoke to him about karma and compassion for all living things.
Do was deeply moved by the monk's words. He looked at his sharp knife, stained with blood, and felt sudden regret for his past actions. He realized he had taken many lives. He decided to repent. He threw his knife into the river and vowed never to kill again.
He left his home and went to a temple to live a simple, peaceful life. He spent his days praying and helping others, trying to cleanse his soul. Years later, when he passed away, the villagers buried him nearby.
Soon after, a strange plant grew from his grave. The plant had long, pointed leaves that looked like swords. The leaves were green on one side but deep red on the other. People said the red color represented the blood of his past profession, but also the burning sincerity of his heart when he turned to good.
They named it the "Huyết Dụ" plant (Red-Leaved Plant). Locals believe that because the butcher was once fierce but became good, the plant has the power to ward off evil spirits and protect the home.
Repentance (Sự Hối Cải): The story emphasizes the Buddhist teaching that it is never too late to change. "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" (Buông dao đồ tể, lập địa thành Phật).
Huyet Du Plant: In Vietnamese culture, this plant is often grown in front of houses not just for decoration, but as a spiritual shield to scare away ghosts and bad luck.
Sự Hối Cải: Câu chuyện nhấn mạnh triết lý Phật giáo rằng không bao giờ là quá muộn để thay đổi. "Buông dao đồ tể, lập địa thành Phật".
Cây Huyết Dụ: Trong văn hóa Việt, cây này thường được trồng trước nhà không chỉ để làm cảnh mà còn như một tấm khiên tâm linh để xua đuổi ma quỷ và vận xui.
