Behind me in the room appeared two
life-size statues; a large golden Buddha
which stood next to Avalokiteswara in deep
purple robes, the Buddhist personification of
compassion and Holy Mother. As the statues
synchronistically came to life, all the
darkness within this place became animated
and visible. Creatures of the dark appeared;
jelly-like parasitic critters sticking to walls,
moaning in the darkness, many forms of
black bugs, and tiny three-foot tall reptilian
creatures who stood upright and had long
tails with hooks at the end. An odor
surrounded the place and a dark cloud had
sprung from every nook and cranny, but I
couldn't be afraid or even notice, because I
was stunned at the sight of these prophets
who had bid me the honor of coming to life
before me, in all their holy splendor. Staring
at them, their beauty and awesome power
was mesmerizing.
Avalokiteswara and the golden
Buddha were in the forefront, as the Buddha
pointed me in the direction of another room.
His arms held within them a power
expressed in moderate movement, almost as
if he were performing a spiritual aspect of
martial arts in response to the forces of the
brent
