As far as human senses go, the passerby from a few hours ago left nothing behind but footprints. But to a dog’s sense of smell, a scent remains that humans aren’t aware of.

Three things about dreams. We are all in a very long dream, where we should keep the following in mind: (1) Despite it’s being a dream, we should not do anything harmful to others because it may give others nightmares. (2) Despite it’s being a dream, we should do as much as possible to help others even within the dream, because others may end up with sweet dreams. (3) Since it's just a dream, the sooner we wake up the better. Make your best efforts to awake everyone.

As you receive the blue sky into your mind, the pressure, anxiety, sadness and so on, all vanish in the empty space. Not only can you feel extraordinarily relaxed, but perhaps you may also discover your true nature.
