   Have you ever wondered how the world came to be? Cultivating oneself, contemplating righteousness, cherishing life, understanding emotions, discerning good, recognizing evil, and forgetting the mind. These are the seven realms of cultivation, leading to enlightenment and veneration. I believe in it; it is my path, the path recognized by the Heavenly Venerable, the path acknowledged by Heaven and Earth, the path that allows me freedom and ease. Human life is full of illusions, confined to these seven realms: experiencing joy and sorrow, grief and suffering; experiencing evil that one cannot bear to see; experiencing good that one cannot understand; experiencing the insatiable desire for life; experiencing the incomprehensible understanding of emotions. One day, contemplating righteousness breaks through the confusion of the future; cultivating oneself and forgetting the mind allows one to see the vicissitudes of past years…
