A reluctant farewell and the mystery of the Sphinx

"This great puja of compassion lasts longer! I've already mentioned the approximate task regarding salvation! If you have any more questions you can raise them now!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said to all those present.

"Can I return to my palace of Ziwei for a long stay after my salvation mission?" Ziwei thought of her palace with some reluctance! After this reincarnation on earth, there was no telling how long it would be before she could go back to her Purple Palace, which was her haven of freedom!

"You don't have to worry about that, you can always go back to your Purple Violet Palace for a long stay as long as you finish your mission of saving the world, and if you can complete your mission of saving the world brilliantly, you can also have another palace and even obtain the Buddhahood with me!" Guanyin Bodhisattva reassured Ziwei!

"As for becoming a Buddha or not I don't really care, as long as I can go back to my palace I'll be satisfied! Other than that, thank you, Bodhisattva Guanyin, for giving me the chance to be reborn! Bodhisattva you are like my mother who gave me life and helped me grow with wisdom, knowledge and energy! Wherever I am reborn, you will always be the greatest, most loving mother in my heart!" Ziwei said a little moved, crystal tears slipping down her cheeks one by one, "After this parting, I wonder when I will see the Bodhisattva?"

"Ziwei, in fact, since the beginning of the infinite tribulation until now, we have been to many planets together to save the world in the name of mother and child, we have worked together many times to complete the mission of saving the world and save many planets! This is how I became a Bodhisattva and how you came to have your own palace! In order to prevent you from remembering the torment you endured during your reincarnation, I have erased those fragments of memories of your reincarnation that might have caused you pain and suffering, so that you now feel in your mind as if you had been reborn! This has been arranged for your own good! No matter how much you have suffered in the past, you have survived! And in the future, you will face many trials and tribulations during your rebirth, so whatever you may have to endure, you must be strong! Wherever you are, when you are sad and crying, you can recite the mantra to gain positive energy, when you are lonely and disappointed, you can talk to me, my doppelganger is everywhere, I will be with you in your dreams when necessary, to help you with your problems, to give you strength and courage, I will watch over you like a mother over her child until your triumphant return after your salvation! " The Goddess of Mercy walked up to Ziwei, dried her tears, gently took her into her arms and stroked her hair lovingly.

Ziwei felt a warmth like that of a mother infusing her body! She so wished she could always be in the arms of the Goddess of Mercy just leaning quietly like this! Until forever ...

Ziwei heard the Bodhisattva's voice ringing in her ears: "I will ask Qinglong and Baihu to accompany you to reincarnate to complete the task of saving the world, besides them, several other Buddha's disciples will also be reincarnated to different places on earth one after another afterwards! Green Dragon and White Tiger may be reincarnated as your brothers, friends, lovers, husbands, etc. Let it all be as it is! No matter who they become after reincarnation, you must remember to remind them to renounce evil and help you achieve the task of saving the world together!"

"Why do they need my reminder too?" Ziwei asked in confusion.

"Because the Green Dragon and the White Tiger were once born with deep karmic barriers of greed and anger, and have not yet cultivated the fruit of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and now, despite their celestial eyes and divine powers in heaven, they are after all animal bodies and very prone to retreat and fall! One slip and you have to remind them of this at all times!" The Bodhisattva explained!

"But can they still retain their heavenly eyes and divine powers after they are reincarnated?" Ziwei asked curiously.

"There's no way you'll be allowed to reincarnate with your Heavenly Eyes and Avatars! The water you drank during today's Great Compassion Feast was prepared to seal your heavenly eyes and divine powers! It won't be long before you have crossed the Nai He Bridge of reincarnation and forgotten all your memories after drinking Meng Po's soup, you will have completely lost your heavenly eyes and divine powers! Your heavenly eyes and divine powers are so powerful that that kind of potion to release your divine powers probably won't have much effect, and I'll have to give you extra treatment! Plus a beauty like yours will only get you into all sorts of trouble when you go to earth, so I'll have to seal your beauty up by sealing it so you lose your divine powers heavenly eyes and become ugly! This will reduce the trouble!" The Goddess of Mercy said as she conjured up a seal like a magic trick and put it over Zi Wei's eyes!

Ziwei felt like a thousand gold pots were pressed between her eyebrows and near her eyes, and she closed her eyes in fear! She seemed to have fainted from the pain!

"Green Dragon and White Tiger, carry Ziwei to earth and reincarnate!" Goddess of Mercy ordered Green Dragon and White Tiger to say!

Qinglong obediently put Ziwei on his back and went in the direction of reincarnation indicated by the Bodhisattva ...

White Tiger was sullen in his heart, not only had Ziwei lost her heavenly beauty and fainted, but now there was no chance of even communicating with her! What a way to reincarnate on earth to torment poor Ziyi! The White Tiger walked sullenly beside the Green Dragon, not noticing that his head was gradually turning into a human head, while his body was still that of a tiger! The Green Dragon couldn't help but laugh at the sight of him! The Green Dragon's harsh laughter rang out like lightning and thunder! Nearing the mouth of the transmigration over Greek Egypt, the White Tiger noticed that there were people in that vicinity of Egypt looking at it in astonishment, as if they had seen a monster! Curious, the White Tiger said to the Green Dragon, "Can those people see us? Why were they so amazed?"

The Green Dragon explained, "The Bodhisattva has just cast a magic spell on us and specially appeared to show the sculptors on earth a vision of our human-headed animal bodies, and in the future there will be a 'sphinx' on earth similar to the one you have now. One of the tasks! The Bodhisattva, in his mercy, has assisted us in this task! And it was done so unobtrusively that it will become a mystery on Earth! No one on earth has been able to determine exactly what inspired or caused man to create such a strange sculpture! Who built the statue will also be a matter of opinion! Ha ha! Isn't it fun! Only we know that it was all orchestrated by the heavens - to bring the 'Sphinx' to earth in order to strengthen the belief in the existence of the six paths of reincarnation! The statue of a human head and animal body is a reminder to the people of Earth to abandon evil and cultivate goodness, or else they will accidentally fall from their human bodies into animal bodies, just like you and I did a thousand years ago, because we made too many mistakes, had too many sins, were unrepentant and had too much hatred! Luckily we were sent to earth to help Ziwei save the world, and because of this we will soon have the opportunity to turn from our animal bodies into human bodies to play on earth again!" Qinglong winked mysteriously at Baihu, and both Qinglong and Baihu couldn't help but smile ...
