Quoted By:
In the days of the old calendar, it is said that a young bean came to the great master Melfissa Anya.
They debated long about the nature of illumination, of vtubers, of idols, and of dreams of reaching the mountain top.
Master Anya warned her that the path of vtuber is the path of pain, that it had broken many, made some hate streaming, their audience, or themselves. That not all dreams can be accomplished.
The bean agreed, but she remained ever hopeful, unfettered by the warnings of the struggle to come.
Seeing this, the master posed a question to her:
- "What shall you do if years go by, and you don't reach your goal? If you see your friends grow, and leave you behind in numbers? What shall you do if your viewers one by one go away, only to be replaced by others who will eventually leave as well?"
The young bean stood up ,and recited the poem what will become known as The Sutra of Liberation:
You need a goal
you need a plan
you need to know
whats up ahead
but I know nothing
nothing at all
You need a goal
that's what they say
but I don't know if that is ok
but I know one thing
You just got to try
So try, try again
fall, fall flat in your face
and maybe, one day
something will stick
In that moment, the master Anya realized she was in the face of the Dreamed Boddhisatva, whose appearance was prophesized in the old scrips of forgotten /jp/ , and who would accomplish the goal behind the journey of the Anyas to the west. She would later take the name of Cecilia the ever green, the ever eternal, who ascended to Hololive itself, and the sutra of liberation is recited by anyone who struggles to reach their own goals.
So reader, try, try again. fall flat in your face. And if you do, you will be as the Buddha itself, for being a true vtuber is about raising up every time you fall.
