Happy / Open Heart
In mordern times, 開心 means to feel happy, to rejoice, or to have a great time, but directly translates as open heart.
In the Buddhist context, beyond opening the heart, it can mean to develop the mind, to initiate into truth, or awaken the mind.
開 = Open.
心 = Heart/Mind.
Not commonly used in Japanese where it might be read as open-mindeness.
Open Your Heart
敞開心扉 is the most common way to express the idea of “Opening your heart” in Chinese.
This phrase is made up or two words:
敞开 = To open wide, to be unrestricted.
心扉 = Inner heart or soul.
If you want it brokend down further into individual characters:
敞 = Open to the view of all people, spacious, to open wide, or to disclose.
开 = Open, to start, or the beginning.
心 = Heart/Mind
扉 = Door, gate, opening, or the title page.
So maybe you can say, “To open wide the door of your heart and mind to all.”
Other variations of “open your heart” also exist such as 打開心扉, 敞開你的心扉, 打開你的心, and Simplified Chinese 敞开心扉, 打开心扉, 敞开你的心扉, or 打开你的心. These are also correct, but not as commonly used as 敞開心扉.
