"Spiritual Journey" Story

    Miao Shan was the youngest of three daughters of a southern king, Miao Chuang.  She incurred her father's wrath by refusing to marry, preferring the spiritual life of a nun.  Much angered by her disobedience, the king threatened to execute her.  The Tiger, immortal protector of the gods, was dispatched to rescue Miao Shan.  She rode on his back to the Yellow Mountains, where she spent the next few years studying the scriptures of Buddha and aspiring to spiritual perfection.

    Then news arrived that her father was dying from a mysterious illness.  She prayed to the gods for a miracle cure, and was told that if a righteous person would sacrifice his/her right hand and right eye, and a potion brewed and administered to her father, he would survive.  Without hesitation, she made the ultimate sacrifice.  Then, disguised as a monk, she traveled to her father's bedside and fed him the potion.

​    Miraculously, the king recovered.  He asked who his benefactor was, and upon finding out it was his own daughter whom he had treated so badly, he was much ashamed and spent the rest of his life doing good deeds in atonement.  And the gods were so pleased with Miao Shan's filial love and devotion, they restored her hand and her eye, and made her a goddess.  She is known to us today as Guan Yin, goddess of mercy.
