Shen Yue slowly nodded, very much in agreement with what Zhang Jixian had said.
The practice of Buddhism ultimately seeks "to understand the mind and see the nature," but how to understand, how to see, and what is the nature of the mind? People have used myriad words to explain, and even a lifetime is not enough to catch a glimpse of the path, not to mention attaining enlightenment.
