   This book is about to reach 200,000 words for its book test, and I plan to change the title. Other titles include: "Starting with a Shurangama Altar, Suppressing All Heavens," "In the Dharma-Ending Age, Only I Have a Shurangama Altar," "In My Past Life, I Was the Guardian of the Shurangama Altar," "Slaughtering All Heavens, Only to Forge the Supreme Shurangama Altar," "Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, There Is a Shurangama Altar," "I Re-establish the Order of Heaven with the Shurangama Altar," "I Attained Sixty Sacred Paths on the Shurangama Altar," "In the Dharma-Ending Age, Only My Shurangama Altar Can Attain Sacredness," "The Purple Star Sage Rebuilds the Shurangama Mandala," "The Purple Star Sage of the Shurangama Altar," "The Shurangama Altar: Unifying the Earth," "The Shurangama Altar: What Kind of Buddha Can You Cultivate Without Money?"

The content is fine. The author is an experienced writer who has practiced the Shurangama Mantra for twenty years. Following the novel's format will surely yield results. If you have any requests, please comment with the book title. The author updates approximately 5,000 words daily and also recites the Shurangama Mantra 28 times daily. Due to life's (trivial matters), updates are only possible at midnight every day. These are Buddhist transformation novels, suitable for readers living fast-paced lives in this degenerate age—a practical read. Honestly, I don't really want to change the titles. The author wrote this book to build their own Shurangama Mandala, and has been striving for it for several years. Fellow practitioners, please help!

    Reader note

    The novel *The Vast and Misty Sky* weaves Buddhist philosophy into its story, allowing more people to engage with its concepts. This philosophy is built upon the Buddha's description of the four elements in the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra*. These four elements are earth, water, fire, and wind—the four energies. They are also the main energies discussed in *Tibetan Life and Death*, and are mentioned primarily in the so-called *Phowa* practice and Padmasambhava's *Bardo* (the intermediate state between death and rebirth). In Buddhism, they are infinitely vast 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—our bones; water—our blood; fire—our heat energy; wind—the air circulating within our bodies. If the Earth is a living entity, then each of our bodies is also a living entity—a body of sentient beings. Countless sentient beings reside within us, coexisting and resonating with us in this cycle of life. The novel is built upon this conceptual foundation. This vast backdrop is a demonic heart seeking to enter the mortal realm to redeem others. 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 the four energies to better control the demon's power, all the gods who control these four energies also come to 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 breed. This foreshadows that excessive indulgence in desire 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; it is fiery and intense, yet unable to bear excessive desire. 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.
