Thanks again for your hard work!
I love the concept of the undertaking the difficult and treacherous training as a way to understand oneself and to understand Heaven. I think it's a recurring theme in the Twelve Kingdoms stories: We find our place in the world only by choosing to learn through adversity. That's why I find The Twelve Kingdoms so uplifting and meaningful.
Thanks so much for translating and sharing these precious stories.
