What Is the End?

After Ye Futian and Bitter Zen had their exchange, the former comprehended and cultivated on Spirit Mountain for a while longer. He also met with other Buddha Lords to discuss Buddhist doctrine.

Buddhism sought emptiness. Everything was empty. They believed that frustration and suffering did not exist. Time and space also did not exist. Everything was born from thoughts. The goal of cultivating Buddhist doctrine was to sever these thoughts and reach enlightenment.

Buddhist doctrine trained the heart. The end goal of its cultivation was to be freed from life, death, and reincarnation, to no longer suffer in the Six Paths of Reincarnation and achieve detachment.

This was where Buddhist doctrine differed from the cultivations of other worlds. Other cultivators sought the Heavenly Path and cultivated to be one with the heavens. Their end goal was to one with the Heavenly Path.
