Chapter 3 – Opening The Heart’s Eye!
At the peak of a tall mountain, there was a village called Prosperity Village.
In a small but elegant courtyard, a handsome young man sat cross-legged in the center. He was wearing clean white robes, and an ordinary copper coin hung from his neck, secured by a red string.
A small and thin old man was smoking away nearby, watching the youth with a twinkle in his eyes.
Opening the heart’s eye is especially difficult. I hope he succeeds this time!
Li Guanqi chanted the sutra silently in his heart, his mind entering a profound state.
With a clear heart, even a speck of dust can be seen. When there is no attachment in your mind, you will find clarity.
Myriad paths return to one source through the eyes. When your intrusive thoughts vanish, enlightenment will appear instead.
Sit quietly, focus your mind, and count your heartbeats. When light shines in your heart, it will slowly reflect the whole cosmos.
Forget perceptions and attain true essence. When your heart’s eye opens, it will reveal the workings of heaven.
The sutra that his grandfather had taught him echoed constantly in his head. As the external distractions faded, his mind grew calm and peaceful, like a still pond. His consciousness sank into his surroundings.
A while later, Li Guanqi saw thick white fog in his mind.
