The living story

The story so far

Ksitigarbha, the Bodhisattva who vowed: not until the hells are empty will I become a Buddha. So he waits — monk's staff in hand, jewel in the other — at the gates of the underworld, talking souls through their sentences one by one. The hells are nowhere near empty. He has never once checked the time.

Happening now

He is at the gates right now, staff planted, talking a frightened soul through what comes next. The soul is crying. He is not hurrying. He never hurries.

What may come

When the hells finally empty — and the vow says when, not if — he will walk through the gates himself, staff over his shoulder, and become what he refused to become for all those eons. The gates will stand open behind him. They will never need to close again.

The ten Yama kings, the Black and White Impermanence, Judge Cui with his brush, Meng Po with her soup of forgetting. Justice here is thorough, the paperwork is eternal, and the bridge out is narrower than you remember.
