I analyzed a poem, The Blue Sky which is written in the book entitled Mountains and Rivers without End by Gary Snyder. I suspect that the archetypal journey is a main theme in it. It consists of three stages, that is, separation, initiation, and return. This title The BluE Sky symbolizes the unconscious world because Buddha called Master of Healing lives there, shining pure as lapis lazuli like the blue sky. This azure radiance (Yakushi) Buddha called Master of Healing is the saint, the perfectly enlightened one and the old man medicine Buddha. He is the lord of the lost paradise. That is why this Buddha symbolizes the key archetype image, old wise man. Other archetype images, shadow, India and great mother (maya) are used to make this key archetype image clear. At first stage we pray that we can see the old wise man (azure radiance Buddha). It is said that azure radiance medicine Buddha had twelve prayers in his bodhisattva-hood. Next stage we chant charms (true words) and see the old wise man (medicine Buddha) in our dream; then we feel at ease. Medicine Buddha (Yakushi tathagata)always has a medicine- bottle in his left hand and give it to us at our desire. Last stage we awake from the illusion which made us to forget medicine Buddha. Medicine Buddha and we are one in the lapis lazuli world. The archetype image (Buddha) transcend (the time and the space. He is ever changing to let us be enlightened) because he has many masks. He figures as Shakamuni Buddha, or as Yakushi 97Buddha, or as A m ita bha Buddha, and so on at our desire. We know that all of us are embraced by the Buddha's mother Maya (great mother) without end.
