Kwannon the Divine Mother stood on a Celestial Bridge of Heaven and poured forth from a crystal Phial the Water of Creation over the Earth. As this holy water fell in a series of bubbles, each bubble could be seen to contain a little babe..but before the bubbles reached the Earth many of them were seized by the horrid dragon who lived in a cave...'
