Cloud and Mud Tathagata

Introduction: Shao Mingyuan, a young man at the end of his life, was expelled from the temple because of his wild words about "Tathagata in love" and lived in the market as a "heart-mender". He thought he was repairing broken objects and people's hearts, but he didn't know that he was walking in a huge recursive mirror set by "Tathagata". From the rain alleys in the south of the Yangtze River to the wilderness of the northwest, from the cries of silkworms to the order of the Mirror City, he meets A Luo, a blind girl who can perceive the color of thoughts, and together they face the various "corrosion marks" caused by the thoughts of all living beings - distorted beliefs, paranoid perfection, violent rule, and rigid laws. Every "fix" is an exploitation of system vulnerabilities and a reflection of one's own xinxing. He must learn not to fight against scars, but to turn scars into interfaces, and face the ultimate recursive structure of civilization and individuals together with the "Wordless Heavenly Clothes" in A Luo's hand that can weave "possibility". When the final "Guiyuan Ruins" and "Wordless Heavenly Clothes" merged, they finally realized that the Tathagata they were looking for was not an external god, but the immovable mirror nature of all things and themselves. This is a practice that goes inward, witnessing the sacredness in the clouds, mud and dust.
