Original intention

The word "initial heart" has the meaning of "original intention" in China historical documents, which refers to a person's initial intention to do something. Gan Bao, a historian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has the phrase "not in the initial heart" in his search for God. In reality, with the passage of time, people's initial intention to do something will gradually fade away, so there is a reminder of Tessa's "Don't forget your active mind". In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi said in Painting Maitreya Buddha: "So don't forget your initial heart, but it must be your wish." It means that you will never forget your original wish, and eventually you will realize your original wish.

In the traditional culture of China, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all have interpretations of the meaning of "initial heart". Buddhism directly used the word "initial heart" earlier, which means initial heart and initial heart, emphasizing what is known and done. The so-called "caring for the initial heart" means keeping and caring for the initial heart at all times. Without this heart, there would be no guidance for action, so future generations will talk about "don't forget your initiative to achieve your ultimate goal" when summing up the ideas in Hua Yan Jing. The Tao Te Ching explains the initial heart as "thicker than a pure heart". Laozi believes that a person with strong moral cultivation, like a newborn baby, will always have a frank, naive and kind heart.
