Really? Liu Chuqing looked at him and asked with uncertainty.

Li Qiye fixed some stray hair on her forehead and smiled: Silly girl, youre courageous with a strong dao heart. Your issue is being shy, thats two different things. The only thing you need is more training.

Are you telling the truth? She felt much better after hearing this but still asked for confirmation.

Dont worry, I wouldnt lie to you. Li Qiye chuckled: Without courage and a strong dao heart, you wouldnt be standing here right now.

A firm dao heart is the result of experiences, such as hesitation, fear, and other various emotions yet the person still preserves. This is a process, not a gift from above. For example, courage is fighting against fear, allowing you to move forward.

Right. She became immersed, thinking about how she wanted to run several times after coming here. However, courage still emerged at key moments and helped her.

Theres a merit law like that? She was surprised.

Why wouldnt there be? He said: Why do mortals cultivate Buddhism? For Buddhist laws or to become Buddha? These laws
