Chapter 289: Teach you to tell fortunes
After the master finished his Dharma teaching, he took the two of them to the backyard again.
Yuan Changwen: "Master, I don't understand, why are you always different from us? I think, it's not easy for other people to step into this backyard, right?"
The master pronounced the Buddha's name and said slowly: "The Buddha is destined for people, and the donor is destined for people." ”
Again, this kind of God's chatter.
Can you do something substantial?
Master: "What did the donor think of the Book of Changes?"
Didn't look at it at all!
Yuan Changwen: "I've seen some, but it's too profound. ”
Master: "It's normal, after all, it's thousands of years old. What does the donor think I Ching is for?"
Yuan Changwen said cautiously: "It should be, yes, it's used for fortune telling, right?"
The master nodded: "That's right, it's used for divination." So that donor, the old man will teach you how to use the I Ching for divination? In this way, the donor can spy on the heavens. ”
Want money?
I just want to know if I want to charge!
After Ben Nima finishes learning, he stretches out his hand to ask for 50,000 yuan of merit, and Lao Tzu can only kill people!
Yuan Changwen sneered: "No, master, you and I meet in Pingshui......
Master: "No money. ”
"Well, thank you Master. ”
The master pulled out a box of Go, all black jade chess pieces, printed on them with a distorted image reflected by the light.
"First of all, the giver understands that I Ching divination is not inherently mainstream, not inherently the most authentic. It is recorded in the "Zuo Biography" that the original divination was to burn turtle shells, and the I Ching grass was just a country gadget, and it could not be elegant. ”
As he spoke, the master took out the chess pieces and placed them on the stone table.
Later, the monarch wanted to fight, but the result of burning the turtle shell was fierce, which means that it is better not to fight. The monarch did not want to see this result, so he found someone who could calculate the I Ching and divined again. This time the result was very much in line with the monarch's wishes, so according to the results of the I Ching divination, he went out to fight. This is the first record of the I Ching divination in front of the monarch. ”
Yuan Changwen: "In other words, it is not that the I Ching is accurate, but that the monarch likes this result, so he promotes the I Ching?"
The master smiled: "The world likes to go straight to cause and effect, I Ching allows us to use the I Ching, and we use the eight characters if the eight characters are allowed." Cause and effect are not science, they are not measurable, repeatable, and regular.
If you really want to talk about rules, it may be God's will, but who can guess what God's will is? If you strive for a goal and you don't get anything for three or five years, will God make you give up? Or will it just sharpen your strength?"
yes, it seems that any one can make sense.
Master: "Whether it is the original burning turtle, or the I Ching divination, or the later plum blossom easy number, purple micro stars, four pillars and eight characters, etc., these can be said to be accurate, or it can be said that they are not accurate.
Heavenly secrets cannot be leaked, but mortals still have to spy on one or two, so there are so many ways to spy on heavenly secrets. In fact, where is the heavenly machine? The heavenly machine is everywhere, and if you can turn yourself into a heavenly machine, then you don't need any tools and methods to know the heavenly machine.
Just like the female benefactor next to her, she is a heavenly machine, so why do you need to snoop around? Look at yourself, you will know what will happen next, what tools and methods are needed?"
Yuan Changwen looked at Xiaoyu and didn't understand.
Is it really set by God's heaven?
Yuan Changwen: "Turning yourself into a heavenly machine, master, how is this possible?"
The master smiled and said, "Cultivation is a good method. The first is to believe, to believe that you are the son of God, the son of God, the reincarnation of the Buddha. As the Chinese saying goes, sincerity leads to spirituality, and that's the truth. You don't believe that you created the world, so how can you talk about changing it?
The power of believing is far greater than you can imagine. It can also be called a belief, or a mind, and Japanese anime doesn't have a trick called λ-driver, which is also the truth. ”
it!
Master, you're amazing, last time you played English, this time it's Japanese anime, are you going to heaven?!
Yuan Changwen: "However, it is obviously illusory, how can you be convinced?"
Master: Have you ever seen a round Earth? Have you ever seen the solar system? Have you ever seen the molecular structure? Why are you so convinced?"
Yuan Changwen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Although I haven't seen it, I can see the earth as long as I go out in a spaceship, or find a scientific research institute, and I can see the molecular structure." I haven't seen it with my own eyes right now, but I know I can see it with these instruments. ”
The master smiled: "Then you can also take the old man's instrument and 'believe that you are God' to see the heavenly machine." ”
Yuan Changwen opened his mouth, but he didn't find anything to say.
"I'll teach you how to use the I Ching for divination first, remember, this is just a tool method, just a helpless means. The most perfect way is to turn yourself into a heavenly machine. ”
The master pointed to the chess pieces on the stone table and said, "There are fifty-five chess pieces here, the so-called number of Tianyan. But we only used forty-nine, so we took out six and set them aside. Now, meditating on the content of your divination in your heart, you can divide these forty-nine chess pieces into two piles at will.
From the pile on the right, take out another one to form three piles of left, right and bottom, and become the 'three talents of heaven, earth and man'. Next, count the pile of pieces on the right and divide by four to take the remainder. For example, 1, 2, 3 or divisible to take 4 pieces. The same goes for the pile on the left.
The taken piece is placed in another place with the piece below. Mix the left and right piles of pieces and repeat the above operation. At this point we take the pieces for the second time, continue to mix the left and right piles of pieces, and take them again.
After three times, at this time, the total number of the remaining two piles of chess pieces on the left and right, only four possibilities are 24, 28, 32, 36. These numbers are exactly divided by four to get 6, 7, 8, 9.
Remix the forty-nine pieces, repeat the above steps, and get a number again, which we write on top of the number we just wrote. The whole process is done six times, then we get six numbers. ”
The master wrote on the scrap of paper, 7, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7
"Each number represents a line, 6 represents the old yin, 7 represents the young yang, 8 represents the young yin, and 9 represents the old yang. The yang line is a common horizontal bar, and the yin line is a horizontal bar composed of two short bars. The old and the young represent the dynamic and the static respectively.
In other words, 6 and 9 are moving, and 7 and 8 are static. ”
The master said, and at the position of 6, drew a circle.
"So, let's take a look at what kind of hexagram this is. The top is separated from the bottom, and the fire is great. We can flip through the I Ching and see how this hexagram is explained in the book. Our hexagram has only one moving line, so let's look at this lineup. ”
The master took out half of the I Ching and began to flip through it.
"Here, the fourteenth hexagram, there is a lot of fire. Sixty-five, Jifu Jiaoru, Weiru, Ji. ”
It turns out that this is the case, the six five in the I Ching refers to counting the fifth line from the bottom to the top!
Because it's yin, it's six, and everything else is yang, so it's nine?
How can there be no mystery all at once?
Yuan Changwen: "Then master, how to solve this hexagram?"
The master closed the book, slowly retracted the chess pieces into the box, and said, "Everyone has their own way of interpreting the hexagram, and everyone has their own perception of heavenly chances. This is also the reason why it is difficult to produce a master of I Ching divination, it is not like science, hard work can repeat the path of predecessors, and memorizing formulas and theorems can solve problems.
There is no formula for divination, it is more about the diviner, how close he is to the heavenly machine, he can use some methods to spy on the heavenly machine. The most suitable way to interpret the hexagram is yourself. If others learn, if they don't have a sense of understanding, they won't be able to get started after all. ”
What is this, something that is inconclusive, isn't it fake?
Yuan Changwen: "Then I can only explore and solve the hexagram by myself?"
Master: "Yes, not even this divination method may work for you. Everyone has their own limitations in their beliefs, some people believe deeply, and some people believe shallowly. Some people firmly believe that they can see the future, and they don't need divination at all, just use the environment at that time to catch the hexagram.
In their eyes, the heavens are everywhere, but people can't see them, they can't understand them. A gust of wind, a few peanuts, these ordinary things all contain heavenly opportunities. Just as a flower is a world, everything contains a heavenly opportunity.
They can spy on it, and naturally they don't need forty-nine chess pieces, or burning turtle shells or anything like that. ”
Yuan Changwen: "Then why do we still get these, it's good to learn to grasp the hexagram directly, how convenient." ”
The master laughed, "Because you don't believe it." Why do many spells, divination, fortune telling, and so on have cumbersome rituals? In order to make you believe, believe that you can see the future by doing this, and believe that you can change your destiny by doing this.
When you truly believe, when you are convinced, the reality changes. But if you don't use these things, you can be convinced? Believe that every thought of oneself is a creation, every word is full of mana, so that not a single thought can change the world?
Why do you need all those complicated rituals?"
it!
It makes sense, and it's back to believing in it.
Should I really believe that I am God?
Why don't you try?
Don't want money anyway.
