Therese: Quan Yin leads us up Dragon Mountain, and as we reach the top, we notice the Sun is beginning to set in the west; we observe the sunset bathing the land in an orange glow. The sunset is a symbol of letting go of the day, having no fear of change, and dying to the old. Our journey has brought us to the top of the mountain and to the entrance of a cave that opens deep in the mountain side.

Quan Yin: I invite you to explore the depths of this mountainside cave; call on your curiosity and imagination as you walk deep into the cavern. Gaze into the darkness and notice a huge presence, an enormous eye, appear. See the head of a creature and hear a low rumbling. All your senses awake, and you see sparks of light as the dragon slowly reveals herself to you. She stands before you, a magnificent creature with strength and unique beauty
