TripitakaTripitaka is a handsome, devout Buddhist monk, reincarnated from a golden cicada. He is selected by Guan Yin to undertake a journey to India to receive Holy Buddhist Scriptures that will save China from its slide into decadence. His religious name was Hsuan-tsang, Supreme Priest of China, but Guan Yin changes it to Tripitaka, the same name as the Scriptures themselves, when he embarks on the great journey. He is pure, but defenseless, and in serious need of protection. |
