The lyrics of the Peking Opera "The Heavenly Maiden Scatters Flowers" are as follows:
The auspicious clouds were in the sky of Polo
The clouds left the land of incense and traveled all over the world
All the worlds were like a light smoke passing by in a blink of an eye
All of a sudden we came to the rock of Bi Bi Bao
[Xipi 2.6] Outside of the clouds the mountain of Sumeru showed its colorful and empty sky in four directions, and under the rock of Bi Bao the shores of the river were boundless.
The roc took the sun and spread out its divine wings, and saw the chi dragon that entered the sea diving in the waves.
The roc spreads its wings to the sun,
and the chi dragon that enters the sea is seen diving in the waves.
The world of Yama Futi is now vast,
and the green mountain is one Pudu Rock.
[Xipi Running Water] Guan Shiyin's full-moon face beads open the marvelous appearance,
Shan Cai and the Dragon Lady stand in two compartments;
Bodhi Tree Eaves Portuguese Flower a thousand branches cover,
White parrot and immortal birds fly up and down in Lingyan Shen Dan;
Green willow branches sprinkle nectar in the 3,000 realms,
as if I scatter the heavenly flowers to fall down to the ten directions;
full eye
[Xipi Scatterboard] I urge the auspicious clouds to ride on the auspicious colors and go to the Buddha's field as soon as possible.
