There are no shackles in the world, and the heart is locked and traps people
Before I start writing the third volume, let's talk to you again. Over the years, I have never interrupted my conversation with you in my heart. Never interrupted.
It's late now. It will soon be dawn. And I'm still here. I know it's damaging to the body. I understand it too clearly. But I need to stay here to subdue the turmoil. The mind is always more important than the body. In samsara, we never lack a body, but we always lack a calm and calm mind.
A lot of things happened in the process of writing the second volume, which made me see my own mistakes and understand more truths. I did need some help lately, but I indulged my weakness in choosing a more comfortable, easier, but more harmful way. I actually know the right way, but I don't have the courage to make a good choice. However, the easy ones are all downhill. Everything in the red dust is bitter, and there is nothing truly valuable worth coveting and grabbing. If you try to catch it, you will end up in pain and trouble. The way that seems most comfortable often ends up being the most painful. I should have learned this lesson. People are not sages, it is inevitable to make mistakes, and I also want to give myself a chance to return to the place where I started, and continue to follow the right path.
Tranquility goes far and wide. The fault of these days, in the final analysis, is that the mind cannot be settled and is too troublesome. Mistakes naturally lead to painful punishments. Punishment is coming, painful, unbearable, but this is exactly what God is saying. If you are wrong, you must admit punishment. There is no escaping. I'm willing to bear it. There are no complaints.
The only way to avoid suffering is to correct mistakes. May I take that lesson to heart.
Volume 3 depicts one of our most peaceful periods. However, any good times are gone. All the good things are followed by the shadow of pain. The relationship between beauty and pain is the palm of the hand and the back of the hand, and it is not possible for us to have only one and not the other. Either take it all or let it go. There is no third option.
Most of the updates in Volume 2 are archived manuscripts. Not much new is written. Because of the turmoil, the new chapter has stagnated. Now that the update is coming to an end, the upload of new chapters should also be accelerated.
What I want to say is that I can always find and manifest that better version of myself when I am by your side, and when I leave you, I am always regressing and falling. I've tried it many times and it's all like this. When the Green Lantern Ancient Scroll stays here, that me is always better and closer to the truth. But why did I leave again and again? Because I still cherish all kinds of things in this world, and I am reluctant to completely abandon and let go. Life is short, time flies, I am reluctant to let go at this time, and when will I wait. This kind of attachment is all self-harm and self-harm.
At that time, I asked you why you know that this is the case, but you always can't do it. You replied to me that there was a time lag between knowing the purpose and actually getting there. I can't do it because I don't train enough and I don't have enough strength. The solution is more training, continuous training, hard training, and focused training. You always trained me everywhere and at all times, until the very end. But after you left, I have been loose and scattered for many years, and I have never concentrated myself and tempered myself as forcefully as you did. I should be very ashamed.
All right. Now, let's focus on the story. Let's go to the world of the story, away from the delusional and chaotic one. What are troubled times? This turbulent world, even if there is no war, is also a chaotic time. This world of peace of mind is the real world of peace.
