He looked at the old man and asked, "How can we explain that Buddha heals the mind?"

"The Buddha taught all dharma to cure all minds; if there is no mind, why would we need all dharma?" The old man began to like Li Xiuyuan a little, because of Li Xiuyuan's desire for knowledge and his desire for knowledge.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan still looked a little confused, the old man continued: "Everything we do is caused by thoughts in the mind. When the mind arises, all kinds of dharmas arise. When the mind dies, all kinds of dharmas disappear."

After Li Xiuyuan heard this, he put his hands together to greet the old man and said with a smile: "Senior, you have mercy!"

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "The two minds are silent, neither sex nor action. How about you become my disciple? The old man has practiced several sword skills in the past..."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I understand somewhat. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true for feeling, thinking, and knowing. It seems to be similar to what the predecessors said."

Hearing that the old man was willing to teach him swordsmanship, Li Xiuyuan immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Teacher, please bow to me!"

After saying that, he offered a cup of spiritual tea with both hands, which was regarded as completing the apprenticeship ceremony.

The old man looked at him and laughed and said: "Since you are willing to be my student, I have to tell you my name. My name is Meng Shentong..."

Looking at Li Xiuyuan's dazed look, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You go and wash up, and we will have a good discussion when you come back."

Li Xiuyuan took a look at his clothes, chuckled twice, got up and walked out of the library.
