(pgs- 56-61) 82: “Works of damnation cannot lead to salvation.” The Bodhisattva and Hui-yen came across a monster when they came to The River of Sands. This monster was originally a marshal and because he had broken a crystal dish was banished and transformed into a Monster upon the orders of the Jade Emperor. The Bodhisattva questioned the monster because he was being punished for a sin and is was still committing sins by eating travellers who happen to pass by the river. “If the Government gets hold of you they’ll flog you to death; if the Buddhists get hold of you they’ll starve you to death.” The monster replied telling the Bodhisattva that it didn’t matter how many travellers he ate or the fact that he ate them because he would still be stuck in the river trying not to starve either way. “Heaven helps those who mean well” The Bodhisattva made the monster an offer and told him about how they were on a quest to find a seeker of scriptures.

TheChurch of England had already been created by Elizabeth for Catholics and Protestants and the majority of both religions had agreed that they would worship under Church of England guidelines, so there was no need for Oliver Cromwell to create a Protestant based faith country. Also he had banned all types of enjoyment like dancing, eating on Christmas, football, and many more. A lot of people hold him responsible for the execution of King Charles I even though there were 59 Parliament lords who signed for the execution of King Charles I.
