Chapter 302: Sermon (2)
One thought for ten thousand thoughts!
As soon as Ye Xuan said this, the lights in the hall seemed to be a little brighter! Blinding lights, unhindered, penetrated the eyes of Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long, and directly illuminated the depths of the two of them's minds!
"Boss, what is one thought instead of ten thousand thoughts?" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Gong Long seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart! It was something that made people feel like they were suddenly opening just by looking at it. These realizations, like an arrow that had just left the bowstring, flew through his mind! So much so that he didn't even have time to savor it, and everything was already back to normal.
"One thought for ten thousand thoughts, one thought for ten thousand thoughts!"
Beside Gong Long, Zhao Wuyi frowned tightly, and kept repeating this sentence in a low voice! It seemed that he had learned more from Ye Xuan's words than Gong Long.
"One thought for ten thousand thoughts... Take, one thought, generation, ten thousand thoughts!"
"Boss, I understand! I understand the boss!" Gong Long was still thinking about it, and Zhao Wuyi suddenly shouted loudly: "Boss, I understand what you mean!"
"Oh, what do you understand?" Seeing Zhao Wuyi's excited look, Ye Xuan asked with interest.
"Boss, I understand what you mean by treating one thought to ten thousand thoughts!" Gong Long grinned, walked quickly to Ye Xuan, and said with an excited face: "Boss, you just said that people's acquired thoughts are people on the real chair. And people's innate thoughts are theoretical immortals! In this way, if people want to become immortals, they must refine all their acquired thoughts! Boss, am I right to understand this?"
"Yes, that's right!" Ye Xuan nodded and said, "And then, what else do you understand?"
"Then, then it's easy to understand!" Lin Kong said with a smile: "Boss, since the acquired is a human and the innate is an immortal, does that mean that the difference between a human and an immortal is the difference between acquired thought and innate thought?"
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to answer, Lin Kong continued: "If you ask me the difference between a human and an immortal, I may not be able to say it! But if you ask me about the difference between acquired and innate nature, then I will know where the difference is!"
At this time, Zhao Yiyi looked back at Gong Long, who was looking confused, and said softly: "The difference between acquired and innate lies in the difference between ten thousand thoughts and one thought! Boss, am I right?"
After speaking, Zhao unintentionally smiled proudly.
"Did you understand this yourself?" Ye Xuan raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wuyi, and asked in some surprise.
"Yes, boss, I understand correctly, right?" Seeing Ye Xuan's appearance, Zhao Wuyi knew that what he was thinking was right, and immediately said excitedly: "Hehe, how about the boss, my understanding is still okay, right? You know, I'm but..."
"Stop!"
Seeing that Zhao Wuyi was about to get carried away, Ye Xuan hurriedly interrupted him!
"What you understand is indeed right!" Ye Xuan said: "But what you understand is not the same thing as what I just told you two!"
Seeing the look of doubt on Zhao Wuyi's face, Ye Xuan said: "As you said, the difference between a human and an immortal is indeed the difference between acquired and congenital, and the difference between acquired and innate is indeed the difference between ten thousand thoughts and one thought!"
Ye Xuan said: "To be precise, Wan Nian is a person, and a thought is an immortal!"
Therefore, it can be said that the acquired thoughts of ten thousand thoughts are the so-called people! And the so-called innate thoughts are actually just a thought born in the void and chaos of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth! A thought is the so-called immortal!
Ye Xuan explained: "Actually, in a fundamental sense, there is not much difference between immortals and the way of heaven! The way of heaven is the embodiment of the rules of operation of all things in the world, and the same is true of immortals! The only difference between the two is that the great way is dead, while the immortals have life! Since there is life, then the immortal must have his own thoughts. ”
"The thoughts of immortals are called self-thought!"
Ye Xuan said: "When people have thoughts, they are acquired thoughts! Immortals also have thoughts, but they are innate self-thoughts! People's acquired thoughts represent the ten thousand red dust in the world, and the immortals' self-thoughts represent the rules of heaven!"
"If the immortals are happy, all things will give birth to spring, and if the immortals are angry, the heavens and the earth will change color!"
"The difference between the Heavenly Dao and the Immortals lies in the fact that one is a passive operation, and the other is a subjective act! That is to say, between the Heavenly Dao and the Immortals, in fact, it is just a difference of thoughts!"
Speaking of this, Ye Xuan stood up and patted Zhao Wuyi's shoulder, and said approvingly: "Unintentional, you can understand this, it will be very helpful for your future cultivation! Yes, Wan Nian and Yi Nian here, and what I said about replacing Wan Nian with one thought, is not the same thing!"
"What I mean by replacing one thought with ten thousand thoughts is one of the simplest and most effective methods in the first stage of a monk's practice!"
Ye Xuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued: "The so-called ten thousand thoughts naturally refer to the acquired ten thousand thoughts of all kinds of people! These thoughts are always consuming the innate origin of human beings. If you want to practice, you must restrain these thoughts! And replacing ten thousand thoughts with one thought is the best way to restrain these thoughts!"
Ye Xuan looked at Zhao Wuyi, then at Gong Long, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, when the two of you first came into contact with cultivation, you must have started with Yishou Dantian, right?"
Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long glanced at each other, both nodded, and did not speak!
"That's right!" Seeing the reaction of the two, Ye Xuan showed a clear look, and then said, "From the very beginning, the two of you have adopted the most inefficient cultivation method!"
"Inefficient?" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, whether it was Zhao Wuyi or Gong Long, both of them were a little puzzled on their faces: "Boss, isn't it necessary to guard the dantian in the refining and refining qi stage?"
Therefore, when a monk cultivates, he must keep his mind in one place to concentrate his energy! As the 'body' part of the human body, the dantian is the best place to keep his mind. All the monks knew that keeping the intention of going to the field was the most important way for human beings to cultivate! Now that Ye Xuan actually said that this method was inefficient, Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long would of course be puzzled.
"I didn't say that I wouldn't let you keep the dantian!" Looking at the puzzled looks on the faces of the two, Ye Xuan explained: "When I say inefficient, I don't mean that the intention is to keep the dantian inefficient!
Ye Xuan said: "You should know that the reason why monks are interested in guarding the dantian when they practice is because they want to gather their divine thoughts and cut off their acquired thinking! ”
"All the monks know that only by guarding the dantian can they refine and refine the qi!"
"However, for monks who are new to cultivation, this method is not appropriate!" Ye Xuan explained: "For those who are new to cultivation, although the intention to keep the dantian can also affect the qi, but due to the influence of acquired thinking, the monk at this time cannot completely concentrate all the divine thoughts on the dantian! And the reason why this kind of problem arises is because when the monk is practicing, in addition to the intention to keep the dantian, there is another step missing!"
"A step that allows people's divine thoughts to gather and be able to adjust the strength of their divine thoughts independently!"
"That's visualizing breathing!"
"Visualizing breathing?" Hearing this word, Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long were obviously stunned, and asked, "Boss, what is visualization breathing?"
"Visualizing the breath is to keep the breath!" Ye Xuan said: "I have already said before that when a person focuses on one thing, it is easy to reduce his other thoughts!
"But!" Speaking of this, Ye Xuan's voice changed and he continued: "But directly guarding the dantian is not a simple matter for those who have just started to practice! Because for a monk whose divine thoughts are still weak at this time, it is difficult to ensure that his thoughts do not diverge by focusing on a dead object or a virtual object! For people who are new to cultivation, they often keep the dantian for a few minutes or even more than ten seconds, and their thinking will involuntarily diverge! They will involuntarily think of something else! This will greatly reduce their cultivation efficiency!"
"And the reason for this is because people's divine thoughts are good at moving, and it is not appropriate to focus on virtual and dead things!"
"Then, at this time, you need to find a moving object to replace the dantian! And breathing is the best choice!" Ye Xuan smiled and continued: "From the inside and outside, the human breath exists inside the human body, and the intention to keep the breath will not make the mind scatter!
"The most important thing is that the intention to breathe is of great help to the monk's independent cultivation in the future!"
Ye Xuan said: "By keeping the intention of intention, the monk can calm down his own active divine thoughts! At this time, if he goes to the intention of guarding the dantian, it will become twice the result with half the effort! Moreover, if the intention of keeping the breath and the intention of the dantian are combined, the monk can adjust his own breathing, so as to adjust the strength of the dantian, so as to avoid the situation that the divine mind is too serious and hurts the body!"
"Moreover, if you keep practicing in this way, then after opening up the second vein of Rendu, the monk's Xiao Zhou Tian will be able to operate on his own!"
"What does it mean to operate on its own? That is to say, without the monk's deliberate closing of his eyes, the true qi in his body can circulate on his own!"
"The reason for this is to keep your breath!"
Ye Xuan said: "Due to the long-term intention to keep the breath, the monk's divine thoughts have almost been integrated with the breath! Even when they are not cultivating, between exhaling and inhaling, the true qi in their body can automatically flow and arise. ”
"Little Zhou Tian is like this, Big Zhou Tian is like this!"
Ye Xuan said: "Before, the two of you said that it would take you at least four or five hours to run the Great Zhou Tian. Now I tell you, in the later stages of my foundation, running a great week is only a breath of time!"
