Lingshan, the Buddha was lecturing in the Great Heroic Treasure Hall.
The audience was deeply absorbed when he suddenly stopped.
"Guanyin Venerable."
The Buddha asked, "How long have you been back?"
"Replying to the Buddha, it has been two years."
The Bodhisattva Guanyin answered.
"Two years, meaning the Golden Cicada has been gone for two years as well."
The Buddha asked the Eastern Buddha, "Where is he now?"
"He has not yet reached the Pure Land."
The Eastern Buddha clasped his hands together and replied, "It seems he is still in the Southern Continent."
"He must be lost."
The Buddha shook his head and said, "Go bring him here."
"Yes."
The Eastern Buddha bowed and left.
Not long after, he brought the Golden Cicada back.
"Buddha."
The Golden Cicada saluted, "Disciple has a request..."
"I already know your situation."
The Buddha interrupted him, "Now that you're back, you should reflect in seclusion and diligently study the Buddhist Law."
