In the “Flower Adornment Sutra,” there is a saying: the Bodhisattva’s cool moon is always fundamentally empty. When sentient beings’ hearts are purified, the Bodhi moon appears before them.
What does it mean?
In the world, sentient beings have countless types of “hearts.” When gazing at the moon, they have different feelings: the “moon” seen from a well will appear vast and indistinct; the “moon” seen over a lake will seem beautiful and delicate; and the “moon” seen at sea will look grand and magnificent… Everything comes from what kind of “heart” you possess.
The more inclusive your heart is, the more variations of the “moon” you will be able to see.
The cleaner your heart is, the more infinite beauty of the “moon” you will be able to perceive.
This is the same as love.
Only one person can see you; he will be able to perceive the diversity within your world;
Only one person can see you; he will feel moved by you, care for you, and give you a fondness of love.

It is said that when a man falls in love with a woman, he regards her as his prey and will do everything possible to achieve a perfect encounter.
However, what he sees at this moment is merely the desire within himself.
To him, you may not necessarily be your true self.
Take, for example, a girl who has delicate features, gentle words, a tall figure, and enjoys wearing skirts. At first glance, a man might think she is a gentle and virtuous girl, but in reality, she could very well be a passionate and challenging spirit.
Thus, a man’s current “sight” is only a psychological projection of his inner self; he will assume whatever type of girl he prefers to see in the other.
Moreover, love is never about seeing in this way.
Only one man, who has genuinely fallen for you and put in effort, will truly “see” you:
Can “see” your habits, giving you
I watched a show.
A couple had been in love for many years.
At this time, a new boss appeared at the woman’s company, and the man often teased her deliberately, leading to a somewhat ambiguous relationship between them.
One day, they went on a business trip together, and the man boldly confessed. Although the woman rejected him, she began to feel torn inside.
At that moment, something happened.
After a colleague’s gathering, the woman got food poisoning and was suffering from gastroenteritis while still trying to work. Just when her pain became unbearable, her boyfriend happened to come to pick her up from work and immediately took her to the hospital.
The doctor advised her to stay in the hospital for two days for observation. The woman is not one to stay idle; just as she wanted to call her boyfriend to bring her computer, he instead brought her a few books she hadn’t had time to finish, to help alleviate her boredom. He even made a video call to her mother, prepared the soup she loved to drink when sick, and directly told her, “You can’t work these days; you need to take care of your health first.”
During this time, her ambiguous boss only gave her a single consolation call.
Love, when there is “being seen,” becomes more profound and also leads to comparison.
In the show, the boyfriend could see all of the girl’s living habits, knew what she enjoyed doing, understood her favorite foods, and grasped her thoughts…
The girl, through this experience, increasingly recognized her boyfriend’s deep love for her.
Can “see” your “heartfelt efforts,” understanding you well
People, in love, have needs.
When someone you love can fulfill your needs, that love shines with enchanting brilliance.
Moreover, when you can see the efforts the other makes for you and perceive their affectionate feelings, this sense of being cherished becomes truly precious.
Therefore, when a man has fallen for you and genuinely cares, it means he not only knows how to invest in you but, more importantly: he can see all your efforts; he understands your “heartfelt efforts.”
Do you remember a time when a friend posted several updates on social media after being away on a business trip for several days?
For example, a picture of a dish.
He “complained” saying: my significant other has been away for several days; today, I went to a restaurant with my buddies, and it just happens to be her favorite place. Alas, it’s so boring without my wife’s nagging voice around!
