The other English Translation of this book I mentioned is by Anthony C. Yu 

The blog post I wrote years ago in which I complained how people were oblivious to the existence of the Chinese Classics whenever the "diversity in the canon" debate comes up: http://joelswagman.blogspot.com/2015/11/so-how-much-do-you-know-about-chinese.html



Here is the written form of some of the names I butchered in the video:
The female Buddha: Bodhisattva--also known in China as Guanyin
She is accompanied by Huian the Novice, who is also known as Prince Moksa.  He is also the brother of Lord Erlang.
