"Bright Phoenix, the Black Dragon King has already realized his mistake. Why don't we send him to Sansha's Holy Land in the Western Paradise, where he will chant Sutras in front of Buddha and repent sincerely? We hope that you can let him off on account of his attitude of knowing his mistakes and changing."
There were three Buddhas in total. The Buddha of the past, Dipamkara, was an old man with one foot in the grave. He held a Lamp of Hellfire in his hand, representing the past of Buddhism and the evil karma of the world. The Buddha of the present, Tathagata, was a middle-aged Buddha with a chubby face and big ears. He had a kind face. He was on a lotus flower, he represented the present of Buddhism and also controlled the merits of Buddhism. The last Buddha was the Buddha of the future, Maitreya, a young monk. Behind him, a Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures swayed, representing the future of Buddhism and gathering the fate of Buddhism.
