Grazing on Confusion

The Imitation of World-Purifying White Lotus emanated a radiant white glow, forming a shimmering curtain of light that enveloped the entire Chang'an City. When the boundless celestial radiance, carrying sparks, descended, it silently vanished upon touching the immaculate curtain of light, without a sound or even a tremor.

Though the light curtain appeared fragile, it resembled a chaos beast disguised in its vulnerability, silently devouring everything approaching. It also seemed like the purest light of purification, cleansing away all things unrelated to the beauty of the world—destruction, slaughter, evil—turning them into dust, drifting between heaven and earth.

The citizens of the city, unaware of many things about the Dao of immortality, could only feel that Bodhisattva Guanyin was incredibly powerful. She effortlessly thwarted the catastrophic disaster that almost befell Chang'an City. She was a living Bodhisattva!
