In Ghostly Japan, Story of a Tengu[1], sentence 44

And in mid-air, shining as a moon above the world, the priest beheld the Blessed One seated upon the Lion-throne, with Samantabhadra at his right hand, and Manjusri at his left,—and before them assembled—immeasurably spreading into Space, like a flood Of stars—the hosts of the Mahâsattvas and the Bodhisattvas with their countless following: “gods, demons, Nâgas, goblins, men, and beings not human.”

Who acts: mid-air, priest, pines, stars · What happens: shine, behold, seat, assemble, spread, follow · To what, where: Blessed One, mid-air, gods, hosts, Space
