My master once said that the world holds every kind of person.
Some have clarity in their hearts.
Others are held back by karma, seeing only a narrow corner of the world and none of its beauty.
Greed, anger, delusion, and illusion are what most cloud people's hearts.
I thought I had wronged no one and had no inner demons or attachments.
Now I realize that I am the one who cannot see the world.
Ruan Qihua
I once wholeheartedly pursued the Dao, hoping to save all living beings from their countless tribulations. I thought that was how to live without regrets.
But I have made three mistakes in this life.
First, I took Ruan Yao as my disciple.
Second, I fell in love with him.
Third, I killed the person I loved with my own hands.
