The Vast Master | 茫茫大士

The Vast Master is a character I often refer to as “the Buddhist priest.” 茫茫 means something big or vast, and 大士 is the term for a Bodhisattva, or a person on the path towards becoming the Buddha.

It’s the Buddhist Monk who commands Zhen Shiying to relinquish his ties with his baby daughter Zhen Yinglian.

The Vast Master is often accompanied by The Ethereal Sage, who I usually translate as “the Taoist priest.”
