Little Helly’s Dream 4- Playing in the snowIn the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss

“Helly, did you go to school in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?”



“No, there was no class last night. We had a trip to the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. There were eight of us, including Lingbei, Lingcai, Zhirong, and Mom.”



“Mom was there, too!”



“We were joined by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the beautiful auntie, who played in the snow together with us. We built snowmen. Snow apples, snow bananas, snow oranges were conjured up. I tried the icecream. It was not sweet. The orange one was neither sweet nor bitter. Mummy, buy an icecream for me when we get back to Guangzhou.”



“OK! I’d buy one for you when we visit the downtown. How do people look in the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?”



“They have long ears, down here (Helly pointed at her shoulder), their bridge of nose high, and their eyes bright and dark. They wear clothes similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva’s, red in color. I am taller than them in the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.



“Taller than the tree?” I pointed at a chestnut tree, about three-meter tall, by the gate of Flying-to-Heaven Cave.



“Yes, a bit taller than it.”



“Where do they live?”



“They live in a golden house.”



“Are there trees and mountains around? ”



“No, neither mountains nor trees. The sky was white, and the ground plain, covered by snow everywhere. We played snowball fight. I threw the snowball to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and She threw it back to me…J…there is a river, golden in color. There are no animals around. They live in the great forest. The great forest is not in the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but by the golden river in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. There are a lot of animals. The little turtles go to the kindergarten there. We went to sleep when we felt tired. When we woke up, we came back to the Flying-to-Heaven Cave riding on the cloud. Then the day broke.
