This shore's five aggregates are like clouds, while the other shore is untainted in every thought. The mantras in Buddhist scriptures have never been about invoking gods or spirits for protection but about establishing correct belief and mindfulness, maintaining clarity in each thought, and dispelling mental dust in each moment.
Shen Yue had a profound understanding of the Buddhist scriptures before he imparted the Buddhist heart method to Wanyan Xiyin just as he was on the verge of becoming a zombie.
The Buddhist heart method is not mysterious but understanding it is no easy feat.
The reason is nothing other than the five aggregates being clouded with dust, making one see the truth yet not recognize it, and recognize it yet not follow it.
In the end, Wanyan Xiyin remembered that one crucial thought, which determined his fate between life and death!
