This is one of those times where the Chinese track title doesn't really translate to the English one all that well, and in this case they both kind of mean different things to boot. I actually found the English title already widely used for this track, so with respect to the name giver I won't change it but for the sake of clarification!: The Chinese track title is an allusion to a part of a Chinese Zen saying that goes "pointing straight to the heart", which comes from the Zen Buddhism believe that our hearts are the seat of the Zen nature, so to find Zen/Buddha we need simply to look inside ourselves. The Chinese track title makes no indication of actually going to the moon, but rather of the motion of pointing towards it. Perhaps besides the allusion to Zen, the implication is also of the heart being pure and bright as the moon. Maybe someone can think of a better English title for this? 「(°ヘ°)
