What the story teaches

有志者事竟成

观音收大鹏鸟

宋朝仁宗时期,观世音菩萨身边的大鹏鸟,幻化成人形,到人间作乱,天灾人祸频传,民不聊生,最后观世音菩萨下凡,收服大鹏鸟,为人民解患。~观音收大鹏鸟相传宋朝仁宗皇帝年间,仁宗皇帝便衣访贤以保江山。途中遇女妖蝙蝠精,欲加害仁宗皇帝,大鹏鸟适时出现救得仁宗皇帝,但没有受封,后来大鹏鸟得知前朝唐王有封凤凰为「百鸟之尊」,于是想要去要求仁宗封为「鸟王」,可是到了宫中御花园,仁宗恍然大误,认其为妖怪,于是用箭射伤大鹏鸟。大鹏鸟大怒,便转身一变变为假的仁宗皇帝,大闹宋朝皇宫。最后由包公审理。包公不知真假,误判真皇帝斩首示众。在送往南西法场时,土地公适时相救。仁宗于是封土地公为“福德”再者观音菩萨怕大鹏鸟继续伤害万民,于是收伏大鹏鸟。(今日观音佛像旁有一只鸟,就是大鹏鸟。)
