Chapter 489 - 0491: Cleansing the Mind of Extraneous Thoughts
Master Guangde placed the Heart Sutra and the wooden fish on the table, then spoke softly, "This is the Buddhist Heart Sutra, which can cleanse impurities and wandering thoughts from the body, remove toxins, and purify the mind."
Chu Ge knew about the effects of the Heart Sutra, but had no idea that the wooden fish could be integrated with the Heart Sutra.
"But how do I use this?" Chu Ge still didn’t understand; considering he had lost all his martial arts, even if he could use it...he would have to wait until his martial arts recovered, right?
Master Guangde shook his head slightly, "There’s no special technique required, just strike the wooden fish and silently recite the Heart Sutra, and the mental method will gradually infuse into your body."
After saying this, he took out a small wooden mallet and handed it to Chu Ge, "It might help expedite the expulsion of toxins from your body."
Chu Ge took the mallet in one hand and picked up the Heart Sutra with the other. Many characters in the scripture were in ancient text, some of which he couldn’t recognize.
"Master, I can’t recognize some of these characters..."
Chu Ge scratched his head.
Master Guangde chuckled, took the Heart Sutra, and recited it for Chu Ge. The content was neither too much nor too little, and after Master Guangde finished, Chu Ge had committed it to memory.
Chu Ge picked up the wooden fish, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he cast aside all distractions, his mind circling around the contents of the Heart Sutra.
