   Reader note

   The novel *The Vast and Misty Sky* is conceptually built upon the Buddha's description of the Four Elements in the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra*. The Four Elements are earth, water, fire, and wind—the four energies. These are also the main energies discussed in *Tibetan Life and Death*, and are primarily mentioned in the so-called *Phowa* practice and Padmasambhava's *Bardo* (the intermediate state between death and rebirth). In Buddhism, they are infinitely large and infinitely small. These Four Elements also possess this characteristic. If the Earth is constructed from earth, water, fire, and wind, as quoted in the opening of *The Vast and Misty Sky*, then each of our physical bodies is also formed from these Four Elements. Earth—is our bones; water—is our blood; fire—is our heat energy; and wind—is the qi circulating within our bodies. If the Earth is a living entity, then each of our bodies is also a living entity—a sentient being. Countless sentient beings reside within us, coexisting and resonating with us in this cycle of life. The novel is structured upon this conceptual foundation. This vast backdrop represents a demonic heart seeking to enter the mortal realm and redeem it. It is enveloped by the four energies of earth, water, fire, and wind. After countless eons, the demonic heart gradually sheds its demonic elements through the interplay of these four energies. To allow these energies to better control the demon's power, the gods who control these four energies also descend upon this vast expanse. Reflecting on our physical bodies, aren't our desire-filled hearts also enveloped by earth, water, fire, and wind, coming to this Saha world for redemption? That ethereal mist is the boundary between the demonic heart itself and desire. When desire triumphs over reason, the ghostly mist spawns a destructive creature and begins to proliferate. It foreshadows that excessive indulgence in desires will bring viruses, cancer, and death closer to our bodies. Rather than calling this a novel, I want to use it to tell a story of peaceful coexistence between the beings within our own bodies and ourselves. The crimson lotus represents our heart, hence its fiery red and intense nature, yet it cannot bear excessive desires. The green, red, and white lotuses are equivalent to our kidneys. They belong to water, giving us the continuous flow of life, but they are also the main organs for detoxification, and the place where toxins are secreted in this vast expanse. The Kunling Kingdom is our stomach; it must gather all energy to continuously nourish the energy we receive from the outside world… These words carry life and power; I hope you enjoy them.
