From then on, in flower gardens under the moonlight, by the streams, on the hills, in the valleys, inside the caves, the heart blooms with wonder everywhere. Everything becomes serene and pleasant, with an endless sense of ease and contentment, pure and untainted, peaceful and warm. There are no obstacles, no barriers, no worries, no restraints. One can follow their hearts and freely display their grace and charm. From now on, whether at the ends of the earth or across mountains and rivers, no matter how high the mountains or how vast the waters, even amidst dense fog and mist, the bond is as close as glue. Hearts and souls are intertwined, with no grievances, no sadness, no troubles, no hesitation. One can quietly observe the rising and falling tides, the swirling clouds, and the magical combinations and performances of countless things and phenomena. They can instantly merge into a roaring fire and stir up tumultuous waves, savoring the dynamic and wonderful realms where yin and yang meet, where heaven and earth connect, experiencing the swirling clouds and shifting rains, engaging in passionate embraces and intimate union. Following the flow of life, carefree and at ease, where space disappears, time ceases to exist, and only the spirit shines, the soul drifts. It is endless bliss, boundless and infinite, free from thirst and hunger, without weariness or fatigue. The heart is unattached and unobstructed, beyond words and indescribable joy. This is spiritual communion. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
