After reading this account, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Think I Taoism has lasted for more than 4,700 years since the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi. It was nearly 3,000 years earlier than the birth of Buddhism. The breadth and subtlety of his theoretical system is truly breathtaking.

However, the rise and fall of a religion is often not based on its connotation and theme, and has been determined by the importance of the emperor for thousands of years.

Buddhism began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty dreamed of Western Jin people and welcomed monks into Middle-earth, and its development momentum was far from unimaginable.

Throughout its entry into the Central Plains, no one could understand its teachings, so he used many concepts and rituals in Taoism for his use, and mostly used sentences from the Tao Te Ching to explain his teachings.

When we talk about abbot, abbot, wooden fish, consecration, feng shui, I Ching, God of Wealth, Dharma, prayer beads, etc., we all think that they are owned by Buddhism, but we do not know that they are all originally owned by Taoism.

The non-action and indisputability in Taoist thought gave many opportunities for invasion by other religions. However, the people in the Taoist sect did not pay attention to this, believing that heaven and earth were naturally not owned by individuals, and everyone could use them.

It's like a country today that has applied for its national heritage for its traditional festivals.

However, history has drifted by like a cloud of smoke, and it is true to live in the present. Nowadays, the country is vigorously promoting the revival of traditional culture, and Mr. Lu Xun once said: "The root of Chinese culture is only in Taoism."

At this time, it is necessary for the efforts of the people in our Taoist sect to spare no effort to promote the traditional culture.

This is the right way.

Early the next morning, the doorman reported that an old man had come to visit.

When he entered the door, he was a monk.

Kongwen clasped his hands together and said, "Don't come to harm, Dao Chief!"

I hurriedly returned the salute: "Master Kongwen is polite." I haven't seen it for a long time since I said goodbye to Enshi last time, and it's really surprising that I don't want to come from afar today. ”

Kong Wen said: "Recently, I have traveled around the world, and when I arrived in Beijing, I heard that Brother Dao was appointed here by the Heavenly Master, so I came over to ask for a cup of tea to drink, and stayed for a few days, for fear of disturbing Brother Dao's cultivation." ”

I said, "I'm also a newcomer here, and there are still many things that haven't been straightened out, so if the Master doesn't give up, I'll be blessed to be here for a few days." ”

For the next few days, Kong Wen stayed in this room. During the day, he came to my place to taste tea and discuss. When there is a doubt, you can also ask him for advice, so we talked very happily in a few days, and many teachings and origins of Buddhism and Taoism have something in common. The ritual has also been almost assimilated, so many things are the same.

On the fifth day, I heard that I came to take my leave.

I said, "Why did you leave in such a hurry?"

Kong Wen said: "I received the call of the family teacher, and I had to go back." In the past few days, I have been here every day and talked with Brother Dao, which is really a great harvest. This Dongyue temple is extraordinary, but unfortunately I haven't seen it completely, and I don't know when I can come here again to meet Brother Dao. ”

There is a sense of regret in the words.

I said, "In that case, it would be good for me to have the mage take the mage around here, and it won't take long, but I can save a trace of regret." ”

After a little thought, he readily agreed.

So he summoned Shan Heng to come and ordered him to summon Fa Bo, who was most familiar with the environment in the original temple, to accompany Master Kongwen to go around, so as to make a detailed introduction.

Two hours later, the tour was completed and the return journey began.

Fabo's original name was Yang, and he was a disciple of Zhengyi Jingming Sect. He has been practicing here since he was a teenager and has been practicing for several years.

After the empty news left, Fabo came to return to his life.

Said: "Abbot, Shicai accompanied Master Kongwen to visit around, he seems to be reluctant to stay in other places, except ....."

"Only what?"

"I was most interested in the room with the dried corpses that I had opened a few days ago, and I stayed there the longest. Because you told no one to open it, he looked out the door for a long time. ”

"I guess I'm curious about this. ”

Fabo returned to his life and went on his own.

At dusk on this day, the disciples were doing evening classes in the temple.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the hall, blowing everyone out of the door and still not stopping.

There seemed to be people laughing and lamenting in the wind. For a long time.

When the disciple came to report the time, my eyelids were beating wildly, and my heart was restless. Smelling this, I hurriedly went to check. On the way, the sleeve occupies a lesson, which is the wind and fire family hexagram.

This hexagram is Xun on the top, on the bottom is Li, Xun is the wind, Li is the fire, the fire is under the wind, there is an image of help. It doesn't seem to be an external disturbance, but rather an internal affair.

When I arrived at the temple, I still heard the laughter in the wind. So he arched his hand and said: "Under the abbot Sanyao, I don't know which senior visited, and I implore the seniors not to disturb the Qingxiu homework of the younger generations." ”

"Hahaha....." After a series of laughs, the wind suddenly stopped.

The rolled up tables and utensils in the store fell one after another.

Seeing that the wind had stopped, the disciples hurried inside to clean up the mess on the ground.

This matter is very strange, but there is no clue.

There are many records of the violent winds in the temple in history.

In the first chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is recorded that in the second year of Jianning after Emperor Ling's accession to the throne, the wind in the corner of the palace was fierce, and a big green snake flew from the beam to the dragon chair to coil it, shocking the emperor and then disappearing.

The 79th chapter of "Water Margin": "At the beginning, I wore through the forest and trees, and then walked on the rocks and flying sand, and the white waves swept the sky, and in an instant the black clouds covered the ground, the red sun was dull, and the wind was strong. ”

It's just that whenever there is a strong wind, most of them have major internal and external troubles. Could there be a big change here?

It was night, and I was meditating and practicing in my room. Suddenly, there were several pairs of eyes staring at him on the roof. When I looked up, it was empty.

When people are watching, even if they don't look in that direction, they still feel a little uncomfortable. If there are more people watching, the sensation will be more obvious.

This feeling lasted until the beginning of the ugly hour, and then it dissipated.

The second day, the third day, all the same.

However, for many days, no more visions occurred in the meditation.

The matter was gradually put on the back burner. Every day, he is busy with internal affairs and receiving visiting guests.

I don't mention it either.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in the blink of an eye.

Mid-Autumn Festival, full moon and full people. It is a good day for people from all over the world to reunite. Throughout the ages, countless poems have been made because of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among them, the most famous is Su Dongpo's "Bright Moon and Wind from Time to Time", which was made because of the memory of his brother in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a prayer ceremony was also held during the day. At night, all the disciples sat around the courtyard to drink and admire the moon.

There is no taboo on alcohol in Taoism, and most of the ancient sages drank alcohol. A disciple asked who made the wine, and he told them a story.

The person who invented wine was the wine saint Du Kang, who was also a man of Taoism.
