Section 358 (2) Longevity
Full of red light, the spirit of the 200-year-old Zhang Zhangmen continued to gush, and said that I had seen various doctrines related to Taoism on the Internet of modern society before were almost the same as what he said, but he was obviously the originator of the mountain, but although we had seen many miscellaneous Taoist doctrines on the Internet before, but after listening to his appearance, it was still very beneficial.
In fact, throughout the ages, whether it is ordinary people or palace nobles, out of greed for supreme power and endless glory and wealth, for example, Qin Shi Huang dreamed of obtaining immortality. In order to realize his dream of immortality, Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to the East China Sea to seek immortal elixir for him. As a result, not only did the immortal elixir not be obtained, but Xu Fu and the others also disappeared without a trace. Later, there was a monk who said that he could refine the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang, but Qin Shi Huang believed it and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to ask the monk to refine the elixir of immortality for himself, and as a result, Qin Shi Huang was deceived and the monk was killed. Qin Shi Huang's quest for immortality ended in failure. Under the influence of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also repeated the mistake of the past, he sent people to use copper to build a 30 zhang high, circumference of 1 zhang 7 dew plate, it is said that the use of this dew plate received by the Chenglu mixed jade dust to take can achieve human longevity. As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also ended in failure. Although Qin Shi Huang's action to practice immortality was not successful, its impact was not small, and many legends about the elixir of life were circulated in the world because of his action. Some people say that taking Jindan can lead to longevity, some people say that eating the fruit of life can lead to longevity, and some people think that eating mica tablets can lead to longevity, etc. Later, many emperors, such as Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Li Chun of Tang Xianzong, and Li Heng of Tang Muzong, were poisoned by taking the elixir of life containing mercury and lead, Jindan, and did not live their lives. In order to live forever, they went astray, which backfired, not only did they not live forever, but they died young, these are all pseudo-Taoism, and they were unfortunately deceived. I was fooled by those who were not satisfied with the practice of quick success. But our Chinese Taoists take a positive attitude towards immortality, the book "Zhuangzi" describes that real people can live forever, but I have never seen it, we are immortal, that is, to achieve the meaning of the mandate of heaven, not immortal like immortals, the Taoist books of the past dynasties record, we monks live to more than 100 years old people abound, from the historical materials left in the age of birth and death, the average life expectancy of monks is undoubtedly much higher than that of emperors and generals and ordinary people. We monks can achieve the goal of improving health and prolonging life just by practicing qigong, which proves that qigong health preservation is effective. That's why I'm talking about longevity, not an illusory and ethereal castle in the air, but a reasonable extension of a limited life. Yin Zhenren said: If a person's roots are firm, between breaths, he can win the righteousness of heaven and earth, and his life will be extended. "Because the energy of the human body is convective with heaven and earth, man can use the infinite energy of heaven and earth to prolong his life, but the condition is that the root must be firm and the yin and yang must be balanced.
In fact, the term immortality is used separately. Immortality refers to our body, and immortality refers to our spirituality.
As the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution, and the practice of learning the Tao is also to use the body to act, if the body is constantly sick and disasters are frequent, not to mention the Tao, even life is painful.
Without a body, all methods of cultivation are empty talk. Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching" - I have a great trouble, for I have a body, and I have no body, what trouble do I have?" All tangible substances will die, be destroyed, and the avenue will be void, so it can be eternal and indestructible, and it will last forever.
There are clouds in the words of the step - refining the essence into the immortal truth, and then becoming the vajra body. Cultivation is about releasing and prolonging life to the maximum extent possible, and to raise the quality of life to the highest degree.
Otherwise, even if you live to be thousands of years old or tens of thousands of years old, there is no good deed in the world to benefit sentient beings, what is the difference between such a long life and thousand-year-old trees and stubborn stones?
Enjoy life, transform into beings, and cultivate the Yuan Shen with the help of the body, and refine your own yin essence, you will be able to merge with the Tao and survive forever.
Therefore, Jing Xuanzi wrote: "Health and longevity are pleasant; male and female are not often separated, born in the first knowledge of the eyes; the earth is born in the fields, and there are regular seasons from wind and thunder to rain; nectar moistens things and prospers, and there is truth in the way of acceptance; there is a foundation and a heart; the mind is determined to live for a long time, and the Hinayana hundred are all on top; the middle vehicle is not the most; and the Mahayana is 500 years old." But if you want to live forever, you Xue Yao remember the following words, and then I went to Baidu on my mobile phone to search, and it was exactly the same as the content inside.
"Lao Tzu said: Changde does not leave, return to the baby. It is necessary to be willing and bitter, kind-hearted, always cultivate merits, hold one in the right heart, be honest and honest, and be clear and insightful. Less speech to nourish internal qi, less lust to nourish essence, thin taste to nourish blood qi, pharyngeal fluid to nourish visceral qi, abstain from anger to nourish liver qi, eat and drink to nourish stomach qi, even fetal breath to nourish lung qi, less worry to nourish kidney qi, and prudently hide to nourish spiritual qi. Ten thousand laws of idealism, ten thousand ways of idealism, the heart is the master of man, refining and refining qi and refining gods, all must start from refining the heart. The heart is moving, the heart is not moving, the heart is extremely quiet, the heart is clear, people and I forget, the heart has no heart, there is no heart, there is no heart, not for the name of the heart, there is no heart to move, then the shortcut. Cultivate goodness, have a good heart, do good deeds, be kind to others, persuade others to do good, and have both virtue and virtue if there is goodness inside and outside, there is no realm for the environment, there is no dust in the dust, there is no thought, there is no heart in the heart, there is no heaven and no earth, no one and no self. Taoism's best kung fu aims to refine the gods and return the void to nothingness. Essence should be less leakage, spirit should be less consumption, gas should be less loss, blessing should be less enjoyment, happiness should be less searching, name should be less, and profit should be less accumulation. The form wants to be quiet, the heart wants to be quiet, the qi wants to be quiet, it is necessary to seek tranquility in practice, and it should also seek to be quiet, and it is advisable to seek tranquility in silence, and it should also be able to be quiet, and it can be born of wisdom. Silence to nourish qi, widowhood to nourish intelligence, widowhood to nourish nature, widowhood to nourish essence, widowhood to nourish spirit, omnipresent widow is omniscient. The name should be light, the benefit should be light, the color heart should be light, the love should be light, the hatred should be light, the suspicion should be light, the winning heart should be light, and everything is not disturbed. Forgetting things can nourish the heart, forgetting feelings can nourish nature, forgetting the realm can nourish the spirit, forgetting color can nourish the essence, forgetting me can nourish the void, and forgetting everything can nourish everything.
"Zhang Zhangmen really doesn't look like a person who is almost 200 years old, talking endlessly, energetic, energetic, younger and more energetic than us, he is a rare walking immortality, convincing live advertising, we carefully tasted it, it is indeed endless, making people suddenly open up, suddenly bright.
