Bodhi's Farewell: The Quiet Heart

Bodhi's Far Shore - Rebirth beneath the Bodhi tree, flowers blooming on the far shore.

The Buddha said I was born for you, and so I am your tribulation, as well as the tribulation of the four seas and eight wildernesses, the six realms and nine heavens. Do you regret it?

She had no parents, and came into being through a twist of fate, born of heaven and earth. At first, she was a little dragon girl who chanted sutras by the Buddha's side. She cultivated Bodhi in the Buddhist realm, yet her heart was as empty and clear as glass. Then the man appeared before her and took her hand, leading her away. From that moment, her obsession was born.

Obsession gives rise to tribulation. In the first tribulation, she was gravely wounded and fell into a deep sleep. When she awoke, everything had changed. In the second, an ancient curse resurfaced, and her soul was shattered beneath his sword. Reborn through reincarnation, she has been remade in this life. Can she let go of her obsession and overcome the third tribulation? It all rests on a single thought.

From the unintentional thought that passed between them at their first meeting, they were bound together ever after. In the first tribulation, he defied heaven to change her fate, enduring hardship at every turn. In the second, he cut open his heart to forge her soul, nourishing it with his blood. In the third, neither could bear the sorrow of parting in life, and they could only hope to share their obsession and remain together for all eternity.
