MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (๐๐ผ @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJโs sword Bichen โis likely an abbreviation for the term ่บฒ้ฟ็บขๅฐ (duว bรฌ hรณng chรฉn), which can be translated as such: ่บฒ้ฟ: shunning or hiding away from ็บขๅฐ (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (ไธ ๆฏ), Jiang Chengโs sword, refers to the three poisons (triviแนฃa) in Buddhism; desire (kฤma-taแนhฤ), delusion (bhava-taแนhฤ) and hatred (vibhava-taแนhฤ).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse โไนพๅค่ข (qiรกn kลซn dร i) โ can be called โHeaven and Earthโ Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (เคฎเฅเคคเฅเคฐเฅเคฏ) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.โ (TWX)

The prince Dhruv greeted the sages and continued on his journey. At last, he reached a beautiful forest Madhuvan on the bank of the river Yamuna. It was the same forest, which was later occupied by a demon Madhu.
Shatrughana, the youngest brother of Sri Rama had killed demon Lavan, son of Madhu in the same forest & founded the township of Mathura. In the same forest, prince Dhruv decided to carry out his penance. As per the dictate of the sages, he began to recite the mantra continuously
Very soon, the earth began to move because of Dhruvโs severe penance. Even the seat of Indra could not remain stable. A stampede resulted among the gods. The gods then hatched a conspiracy to disturb the penance.

1/โWhat would need to be true for you toโฆ.Xโ
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, โXโ could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- โFeel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- โFeel that weโre in a good place as a companyโ
- โFeel that weโre on the same pageโ
- โFeel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we arenโt that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders donโt know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is โwhat would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?โ
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
