Hello Vicky.
All I can share with you is:
Cundi Bodhisattva Sometimes referred to as the Mother of All Buddhas. One of the Principal Deities in the True Buddha School, she is depicted as pale yellow with eighteen arms and with a third eye on her forehead.

Also i learned that Maha Cundi is at the highest spiritual level so far... i dont remember how many levels there are but so far Cundi holds the highest spiritual level... the practice is pretty difficult for most people...

Here is some information extracted from TBSN:

http://www.tbsn.org/ebooks/roving/chap14.htm

The main image enshrined in the Kuan Yin temple is Cundi, one of the eight root-deities of True Buddha School. Cundi means purification. The Bodhisattva is also known as Cundi the mother of all Buddhas, as she is the mother of all the Buddhas residing in the Lotus Division in the Mandala. She is also known as "Mother of 70 billion Buddhas", "Kuan Yin of Human, heaven and zealous disciples". Praying to Cundi is very effective, as she always comes to the Samsara world and eradicating the unwholesome karma of sentient beings. She is known to be capable of:

1. Prolonging human lives.
2. Eradicating misfortune.
3. Giving children to childless parents.
4. Improving loving kindness.

Cundi has two sacred titles i.e. Purified Vajra and the Most-Magnificent-Vajra.

When I bowed to Cundi the mother of all Buddhas in the temple, yellow white lights were radiated from my forehead, and eighteen Lotus Youths (Padmakumara) sat in a golden vessel ascending to the sky slowly.

I saw Cundi radiating lights and appear in the form of a being with three eyes and eighteen arms, sitting on a red lotus seat. The two dragon kings, NanTuo and Pa Nan Tuo were in attendance.

Cundi exclaimed : "Padmakumara, you are born with good Buddha frame."

The two dragon kings presented two pearls to me. They said, "You can use these pearls to command wind and rain. When these pearls radiate lights, all water gods will obey you. You will not be harmed by water nor suffer from any water-related diseases. I bowed and thanked all of them.

I asked a question, "What is an unrelented mind ?" She answered, " Self-induced determination and unshakable beliefs."

"Of these four capacities, namely Sheng Yan Liang (Holy words capacity), Shi Zhun Liang (Historical records capacity), Shi Jue Liang (Oral Tradition capacity), and Jue Shou Liang (enlightenment capacity), which is the most important?"

"The oral traditions taught by the root-guru is known as "Shi Jue Liang", all other Liangs stemmed from this, so it is the most magnificent among the four.

"From self comes all human beings, the three realms of existence. Self is omnipresent, without self there is no sentient beings. What is this "self?"

"Buddha!"

"What are the benefits of cultivating Cundi, the Mother of all Buddhas as the root deity?"

"You will have the following benefits:

1. able to be stay in a unattached mind.
2. able to reach all stages of tranquillity.
3. able to accumulate merit.
4. able to eradicate the mistakes made."

"How to see Cundi in person ?"

"You may see Cundi in Magnificent theory, Correct environment, the Other Shore (nirvana) and the Sea of Maha Brightness."

By means of spiritual communication, I was able to have a question and answer session with Cundi. The contents of our conversation is cryptic and educational. Please don't doubt about the authenticity, just brood over her answers.

The radiation of lights and the pleasant conversation is just one of the episodes in my visit to temples and prostration to Buddhas.

"Follow me, you will not go astray."

"I am able to guide you to enlightenment!"

"If we have karmic relation, you will follow me, otherwise, you will leave me. It is the course of nature, so we should not blame each other."

How do you feel about my conversation with Cundi? Are you satisfied now?

I also discovered this, which I found less helpful:

„Xin feiyou cundi: yige bianjiang gushi de taolun“ Yi Shi Bao. 1947/20.9. (in Qian Liqun¿ú ²z ¸s ,ed . Ershiji Zhongguo xiaoshuo lilun ziliao. Beijing: Beijing daxue chubanshe, 1997: 456-462.)

Poviedky Xiao Xionga sa zaoberajú tématikou odľahlých oblastí, ako je Xinjiang alebo Qinhai, po desiatich rokoch rozvratu zeme. Preto zachycuje zmeny, ktoré sa udiali s ľudskými životmi. Na zachytenie tejto zmeny je však potrebné sa oslobodiť od literárnych zvyklostí. Tématicky sa opiera o skutočný život, čo je dobrou základňou pre rozvitie príbehu a vyjadrenie lyrickosti. Ak sa prehliadne celkový dojem z dobrých literárnych diel a ich problematickú rétorickú výstavbu, potom sa dá, ako príklad, využiť dielo Xing Chujuna ¨· ·¡ §¡ , ktorý publikoval v Da Gongbao. Wenyi¤j ¤½ ³ø .¤å ÃÀ . Jeho dielo nádych „pôvodného textu“. Snažil sa zachytiť povahu menšín vo svojom prostredí. To znamená, že zpoli zachytil pre nich typické prostredie a zároveň i ich ľudské príbehy. Čoho výsledkom, podľa Shen Congwena, je dojemný príbeh. Podobný úspech zaznamenali i autori Lu Fen Äª µI , Ai Wu ¦ã ¿¾ , Sha Ting¨F ¥Å . Ak sa odmyslia experimenty s žánrami poviedky, príbehu, eseja a cestopisu, potom vznikla nová forma, ktorá môže uspokojiť tradičnú potrebu po
