Question
According to the Changsega, a form of this figure separated heaven and earth with four pillars before losing a contest to make a flower bloom because he fell asleep, thus ceding the human world to Seokga (“SUHK-kah”). A vision of Pindola inspired Dao’an to spread the worship of this figure, who is generally depicted in art as wearing a ribboned topknot and holding a vessel for water. Asanga used the teachings of either this figure, vfwhose name refers to friendliness, or somebody named for him to found the (*) Yogacara school. This resident of Tushita, who is often identified with Budai, holds the “Office of the World Teacher,” according to many Theosophists. For 10 points, name this bodhisattva who will be a future Buddha once Siddharta Gautama’s teachings have been forgotten. ■END■
