The Supreme One's Forgetting of Emotion does not mean being without feelings. To forget emotion is to remain still and unmoved by it, as if it had been forgotten. Words serve to convey intent; once the intent is grasped, the words may be forgotten.
Shangqing said, "Qingyu, my disciple, you have spent ten thousand years in seclusion cultivating the Dao of Forgetting Emotion. But how can you forget emotion before it arises? Your state of mind is not yet sufficient to sever all Three Corpses. You would do better to make several journeys through the mortal world and seek your opportunities there."
Qingyu bowed deeply and said, "Yes."

This is the author. I opened a new pit today. I don't know what kind of cover to change. For the time being, I am using a painting by Xu Wenchang from the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who has passed by it has any suggestions?
