Chapter 66: Immortality and Impery?
"Taoism talks about the yang god, the yin god, the yuan god, and the god of knowledge. The yang god and the yin god are subdivided, and there are three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the human soul, and the seven souls correspond to the seven chakras of the human body. There is a little bit of true yin in the unity of the three souls, which is the original god. Knowing God refers to the acquired perception, which is equivalent to the sixth consciousness mentioned by Buddhism, but the effect is not exactly the same. ”
"That reincarnated soul is equivalent to the bardo body and the mind body in the Buddhist family (but the connotation is different), and in the Taoist family, it is equivalent to the consciousness of the gods, and it gives birth to the yin god (not the yang god). The primordial god is the god of immortality, that is, the true face of Buddhism, and the truth of Buddhahood is not the same, then it is necessary for individuals to realize themselves. Taoists say that the primordial spirit is the true yin of the three souls, which is equivalent to the pure consciousness of immaculate (i.e., the ninth consciousness of Amara) mentioned by Buddhism. In Tantra, it is called the point of non-destructibility, which is the Buddha-nature that is never bad (unborn and imperishable). The yang and yin gods are all impurified, and the Buddhist divine consciousness (mind and consciousness) is equivalent to the Taoist yang god and the yin god (the consciousness refers to the divine consciousness specifically refers to the alayya consciousness). It can be seen that Taoism's exposition on life actually has many similarities with Buddhism, but there are also essential differences. ”
Taoism has the Yin God out of the body and the Yang God out of the body, and the Yin God and the Yang God are actually the mind born in Buddhism. The Yin God is formless and formless, only oneself can feel it, but outsiders can't see it. The yang god is tangible and formal, and others can also see it. But both are still fakes. After Wu Lang finished speaking, he unscrewed a bottle of Scottish "Waterga", raised his head and took a big sip.
"Xiao Langlang, if you say so, what kind of ghosts and monsters are played in film and television dramas, and the souls are real?"
"Film and television dramas are all based on previous records, discussions, processing and changes, and there may be exaggerated parts. Wu Lang nodded and smiled.
"Brother, don't interrupt, listen to Brother Lang continue. Yin Yuting gave the fat man a blank look.
Some people, when they are meditating or sleeping, occasionally come across and see their body sleeping, meditating, and they can see clearly that they are not dead, and that this body is breathing. Then this person who can really see his body sleeping or meditating is the yin god, not the yang god. The Yang God is your work to reach the God and the Qi condensed, and this body comes out with another body. It's like using this body to generate another life without going through reincarnation. If you go through reincarnation, you have to find a mother to reincarnate. Yang Shen, like heaven and man, does not rely on the mother's womb, but his own four majors, using his own essence and spirit to cooperate with the Yuan Shen, and cooperate with the consciousness to give birth to a body. This life is born by itself, and his lifespan is not the lifespan of this body, but it has a form and an appearance. This one is called the Yang God. ”
"There is a typical story of a monk in history, because Taoism and Buddhism have different cultivation routes, Buddhism laughs and laughs at "only cultivating life and not cultivating nature", only managing the body, nourishing the spirit and spirit, dispelling illness and prolonging life, immortality, but not participating in Zen, regardless of the principle of the mind, "this is the first disease of practice", is a mistake made by practice, so only half of the road. On the contrary, the Taoists laugh at the Buddhists, "But if you don't cultivate the ancestors, it will be difficult for the Yin Spirit to enter the Holy Realm", if you only cultivate the mind and see the nature, and do not cultivate the physical body with alchemy, and reach the transformation of the essence and spirit into another life, you will not be able to be born immediately, and you will only walk half of the way. So there was a Taoist priest and a monk, they were in the late Tang Dynasty and the fifth dynasty, in this place in Chang'an, both of them thought that they had achieved the original god, and the Taoist priest said Brother, let's meditate together and settle down at the same time. One said that now the Qionghua in Yangzhou is blooming, and we went to the Taoist temple in Yangzhou to see the Qionghua together. The two of them meditated cross-legged and left, and when they arrived in Yangzhou, the two of them were also together, one monk and one monk, both of them left the body out of the body. After seeing Qionghua and drinking tea, I should leave a souvenir when I go back, and each person picks a Qionghua and brings it back. Back in Chang'an, we smiled at each other, the Taoist priest said to bring flowers, the two of us each picked one flower, and the monk who took the Zen route touched the sleeve, no! This is the difference, the one from Buddhism is the yin god, and the Taoist one is the yang god. After Wu Lang finished speaking, he burst out laughing.
"Then which one of these Buddhas is more intelligent?" Yin Yuting asked curiously.
Afterwards, Wu Lang smiled and said, "In fact, this kind of yang god out of the body in the Taoist family also has Tantra. Tantra sometimes burns with a bright color and a body for you to see. So it is generally believed that cultivating to this state is becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha, but in fact, it is still early, and this is only preliminary. This yang god is just an incarnation in the body of the Dharma body. When the retribution is achieved, the cultivation reaches the outside of the body, and then the incarnation can be born. This body has a substance, so Buddhism says that cultivating to hundreds of trillions of incarnations is not just one, but there are many, many incarnations. If it is a yin god, there is no appearance and no substance, but he feels that he has it, and he has not yet reached the incarnation achievement, but it is just an illusion imagined by the sixth consciousness, just like the body in a dream. The body in the dream can walk, talk, eat, play, and have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but it is not a physical body. ”
"Then what did you just say?" Yin Yuting looked at Wu Lang and continued to ask.
"When the Yang God and Yin God have been cultivated, they are still inseparable from the Sixth Consciousness, the Seventh Consciousness, and the Eighth Alaya Consciousness. Therefore, the Taoists and Buddhists of later generations called this thing the function of knowing God. Consciousness is of course related to consciousness, the same, but not the ordinary delusion of sixth consciousness distinction. Taking Buddhism as an example, if one reaches the realm of the joy of separation in the first meditation and the joy of the second meditation, his consciousness and spirit can take the role of differentiation, so the role of the two is not the same. ”
"The reincarnation of the bardo is also the knowledge of God, and Buddhism calls it the middle body or bardo body. It is a person who enters the mother's womb with ignorance, that is, the sixth consciousness and the quality, but the wisdom is not clear, thinking that this is the root of life, but in fact, it is the quality of the consciousness that comes with the quality, in other words, the yin god. If it's really an out-of-body yang god, it's already a real incarnation. ”
"Many people in the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism will have Yang God out of body kung fu in their practice, but Taoism is called Yang God, and Buddhism is called incarnation. The whole color body was transformed, and the qi veins were opened. Buddhists criticize Taoists for "only cultivating life, not nature", and are keen to practice qi and open up the two veins of Ren and Du, but they don't know how to see nature. However, Taoists also criticize Buddhists for only meditating and chanting Buddha, that is, "only cultivating nature, not life." "But if you don't cultivate your ancestors, it will be difficult for the Yin Spirit of Ten Thousand Tribulations to enter the Holy Spirit." Many people who study Buddhism only talk about the teachings and mere mantras, and their bodies do not change at all. If you have a little bit of clarity and insight, you can't think about it, and you don't care about the transformation of this body, so the essence and spirit can't be condensed into one, so at best, only half of the cultivation will come out, and the yin god will not come out, and it will not be achieved until the middle bardo, and the reincarnation and incarnation will not be achieved in this life. ”
"Therefore, personal self-realization and insight are particularly important, only when the awareness of the primordial spirit, reaching the height of true self-nature, and completely breaking the self-grasping reality, then can we truly transcend life and death and gain liberation, otherwise even if we cultivate to live forever, we are just guarding ghouls. Wu Lang said.
"Xiao Langlang, according to your words, can people really live forever?"
"I don't know this, we are all ordinary people, as soon as I say this, you should listen to mythological stories!" Wu Lang looked at him and said with a smile.
"Grass, your Rory said so much, isn't this talking to the fat man?"
"Brother, he is teasing you, there are many remains of monks in domestic temples that have not been corrupted for hundreds of years or even thousands of years, and Tantra has the phenomenon of rainbow after death, these are unsolved mysteries, and there is no exact definition in the scientific community so far. Yin Yuting said with a smile.
"Xiao Langlang, what is there in the hospital morgue that can arouse your curiosity. Fat Yin smiled.
Wu Lang frowned slightly, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "It's hard to say, maybe I'll know after I go tonight." ”
