   Have you ever closed a book and felt like you had experienced a complete life? This unique novel is itself a profound practice of "reading". It cleverly leads readers to experience the three realms of reading. The story begins with "Seeing the World", where the protagonist constructs an objective blueprint of the world in the ocean of knowledge. Then step into the vast world of "seeing all living beings" - here, there is no single truth, only thousands of interpretations of "Hamlet". The book vividly describes how the protagonist puts aside his prejudices, dives into different thinking universes, talks to different souls, and truly learns to listen "from an empty cup". The most touching part is "seeing myself". After traversing mountains and rivers and reading all sentient beings, all knowledge, vision and mind will eventually flow deep into the heart, turning into the wisdom and power of reconciliation with oneself. This is not only a story about reading, but also a mirror that reflects how we can finally settle our noisy hearts through reading. If you also believe that reading is a journey to the deepest part of your heart, then this book will be your perfect travel companion.
