LAST CHINESE NEW YEAR IN JANUARY 2020 I RETURNED TO MY BELOVED HOME TOWN KOTA BARU AND VISITED KELANTAN BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION BUILDING WITH MY MOTHER TO PRAY TO MY FATHER WHO ENTERED HEAVEN ON 1 AUGUST 2016. THE MAIN PRAYER HALL HAS STATUES OF KSITIGARBHA, BUDDHA AND KUAN YIN. BY COINCIDENCE THIS TRIO ARE NOW PARTICULARLY RELEVANT AS CORONA VIRUS IS THREATENING OUR WAY OF LIFE AND INDEED VERY EXISTENCE. SO PRAY TO BUDDHA TO SAVE US AND TO KUAN YIN THE GODDESS OF MERCY TO SHOW COMPASSION AND KSITIGARBHA TO SAVE US FROM HELL AND LEAD US TOWARDS SALVATION AND BUDDHAHOOD. OMITOFU

KSITIGARBHA, BUDDHA AMITABHA AND KUANYIN

 MAITREYA THE FUTURE BUDDHA MAY BE ALREADY AWAKENING IN TUSHITA HEAVEN AND IF SO THIS KALPA WILL END WHEN HE DESCENDS ON EARTH. MAITREYA IS ALSO KNOWN AS LAUGHING BUDDHA AND IS SEATED ON LOWER ALTAR

 MATREYA THE BUDDHA OF THE FUTURE SITS ALONE ON LOWER ALTAR 

 KSITIGARBHA HAS PROMISED TO SAVE THOSE IN HELL UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF MAITREYA AND KUAN YIN HAS POSTPONED HER ENTRY INTO NIRVANA UNTIL ALL SENTIENT BEINGS (THAT'S US) ARE SAVED 

 KSITIGARBHA IS SANSKRIT AND IN CHINESE HE IS TI TSANG WHICH MEANS 'EARTH STORE' 

 KSITIGRBHA IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR THE FAMOUS MONK TRIPITAKA OR HSUAN TSANG IN 'JOURNEY TO THE WEST' WITH MONKEY KING SUN WUKONG, PIGGY AND SANDY AS BOTH LOOK SIMILAR AND CARRY THE RINGED STAFF OR WALKING STICK. BUT KSITIGARBHA CARRIES A CINTAMANI OR WISH FULFILLING JEWEL 

 BOTH TSITIGARBHA AND TRIPITAKA WEAR THE SANGHA YELLOW ROBE AND 5-LEAF CROWN. HE IS SOMETIMES MISTAKEN FOR YAMA THE KING OF HELL BUT TSITIGARBHA DOES NOT JUDGE THE DEAD BUT TRIES TO SAVE FROM SUFFERING 

 PRAY TO BUDDHA TO STOP PUNISHING US!

 KUAN YIN THE GODDESS OF MERCY IS A BODDHISATTVA LIKE TSITIGARBHA 

 THIS IS KUAN YIN WITH A 1,000 ARMS WITH EACH ARM BRANCHING OUT ANOTHER 1,000 ARMS ET INFINITUM INTO BILLIONS OF ARMS SO SHE CAN REACH OUT TO HELP THOSE IN NEED

 KUAN YIN'S EVER SPREADING ARMS CAN REACH 7.8 BILLION PEOPLE WHICH IS THE CURRENT HUMAN POPULATION AS OF MARCH 2020 WHICH SEEMS SIMPLISTIC AS HOW CAN KUAN YIN BE IN 7.8 PLACES SIMULTANEOUSLY? HOW CAN SHE HELP 7.8 BILLION SHOULD ALL CALL HER FOR HELP AT THE SAME TIME? IF SHE IS HELPING ME THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT YOUR TURN TILL SHE FINISHES ATTENDING TO ME RIGHT?
THEN ON 23 OCTOBER 2019 GOOGLE ANNOUNCED ITS SUPERCOMPUTER CALLED 'SYCAMORE' COULD CALCULATE IN 200 SECONDS WHAT WOULD TAKE A NORMAL SUPERCOMPUTER LIKE 'SUMMIT' SOME 10,000 YEARS TO COMPLETE. 
IN ALL COMPUTERS, 0 AND 1 ARE TWO DIFFERENT, SEPARATE NUMBERS BUT GOOGLE'S SYCAMORE COMPUTER ALLOWS 0 AND 1 TO EXIST AT THE SAME TIME! THIS WAS PREDICTED BY ALBERT EINSTEIN WHO CALLED IT 'SPOOKY ACTION FROM A DISTANCE'! THIS ALLOWS MULTIPLE CALCULATIONS TO BE PERFORMED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND NOT ONE BY ONE! SO KUAN YIN CAN BE IN 7.8 BILLION DIFFERENT PLACES ATTENDING TO 7.8 BILLION PEOPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY! 
BUDDHA ALSO DEMONSTRATED HE CAN FILL THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WITH HIS IMAGES (CLONES) AND MONKEY KING ALSO HAS MASTERED THIS BUT HE CAN ONLY PRODUCE 72 VERSIONS OF HIMSELF SIMULTANEOUSLY. 

 MY FATHER'S PLAQUE IS AT BOTTOM LEFT

 NOTE MICKEY AND MINNIE MOUSE TO CELEBRATE THE YEAR OF THE RAT

TOO BAD NONE PREDICTED 2020 THE YEAR OF THE RAT WOULD BRING HUMANITY AND CIVILISATION TO ITS KNEES!
