The Dragon, the Pearl, and the Moon.
"Most Adepts in the East follow the ancient traditions of the Dragon, and concentrate on the 'Pearl of Great Price,' seeing it as the culmination of change and the attainment of immortality and Eternal Bliss. After the Pearl is created, the Body of Light or 'Diamond Body' becomes active, and the Adept is said to be immortal. The ancient Chinese word for Dragon, literally meant 'Rising of the Moon,' referring to this Pearl of Great Price and the Body of Light (Star) of the Immortal. At this point, further progress involves learning about the various states of immortality beyond enlightenment. Entrance to eternity involves the 'Wave of Bliss,' the 'Divine Carriage to the Immortal Realms,' also referred to as 'Riding the Dragon." — Nicholas de Vere
