If you listen to a prerecorded form of entertainment, are you then engaging in a live performance? Of course not, right? Apparently that is up for debate in this episode as we look at various Chinese gods that are important to the connection between the mortal and immortal worlds. We look at the kitchen god who reports families' behavior to the Supreme Being of the Heavens, the door gods who protect from unwanted visitors, the bureaucracy of the elements (particularly Lei Kung, the Duke of Thunder), the Buddhist goddess of mercy, Kuan Yin, and the Eight Immortals of Taoism, who each represent a unique aspect of life.
