The Frontier Years Chapter 118 Revision of the Codex
"Bastard! confused!" Dao Chen said angrily when he heard this.
"Taoism talks about cause and effect, but it talks more about fate. When you get your book and sword back, and you are able to worship at the inner gate, it is cause and effect, and if you have entered the inner gate, it is fate. If there is no fate, and you will naturally leave in the future, how can fate be measured by years and months?"
"Xuanqingyuan is shallow and blessed, and it is an unexpected joy to be able to worship the sect for three years, how dare you ask for it. Lei Shaoxuan said lightly.
The result of the voluntary transaction between the two parties is not unfair.
Dao Chen waved his hand and looked at Lei Shaoxuan.
"You have studied Hanhailou hard, and the cultivation experience you have written is clearly layered, concise and clear, and the annotations of the entries are clear, but most of them are obtained from random reading, so they are messy and complicated. ”
"Have you seen it?" Lei Shaoxuan was surprised when he heard this, and said with some trepidation, "Writing indiscriminately is not serious." ”
I was confused in my heart, and I didn't know the meaning of Daochen.
"There is no need to be presumptuous, the book carries the Tao, and the text is passed on by the book. Daochen looked at Lei Shaoxuan, his eyes flashed and said: "Most of the classics are mysterious and obscure, so they are mysterious, just in this regard, you are concise and clear, you are simply the first to open a book, and the grandmaster of the school." ”
This evaluation is a bit high, Lei Shaoxuan doesn't dare to take it. Besides, when did he write a book?
Lei Shaoxuan smiled slightly and said with a wry smile: "What I write is for my own use, and it should be concise and clear, but if it is used by others, it is treated as a joke." ”
In the death row camp that year, Lei Shaoxuan wrote a letter home for the fat aunt, but because he used a few words in the vernacular, he was made fun of by Captain Wang.
"The master's book is not completely like to play tricks, but probably to cater to the readers, the trend of the world. Lei Shaoxuan sighed slightly.
"Hmph, many practice classics, no matter how deep or shallow, like the separation of the void and the void, what 'the beginning of the form, the end of the nothing, the formless and tangible, the one who transforms does not change, and the one who transforms cannot fail to change'. Reading these classics makes people ignorant, cultivating to a high level, and even more doubtful, books are for use, what are you doing with these mysteries?" Dao Chen said quite dissatisfied.
Dao Chen looked at Lei Shaoxuan, and his eyes suddenly became eager.
"Your notes are simple and clear, and although they are written briefly, they have completely described the method of cultivation, and there are no profound and obscure words, especially the annotations of the words, which are clear and unambiguous. I want you to compile your notes into a book for the reference of the sect monks, how about it?"
"Huh?" Lei Shaoxuan was shocked when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again.
"Elder Daochen, you are embarrassing me, how can I dare to make up a book?"
But all scholars, who do not know that cultivating books is a great merit, and that scholars will establish themselves and virtues, and will make words the ultimate goal of life.
Daochen glared, a little dissatisfied.
"Why not? You write fluently, and you have obviously been mentored by a famous teacher. Although the content of the notes is superficial, it is simple and clear, which is enough for introductory practice. ”
Dao Chen soothed his breath.
"I had a book for beginners. However, as a high-level monk, most of the books I read were consulted while practicing. I practiced all the way, and the books I read were biased, but you read a wide range of books, and you were a hundred times better than what I read.
Lei Shaoxuan has no guidance, everything is unclear, and every sentence is incomprehensible, so he naturally needs to read a lot of books to be sure one by one. The same sentence of cultivation is different from one family to another, and it requires a lot of research.
Daochen looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said sincerely: "I have been cultivating all my life, I don't understand literature and science, my writing is boring, and I can't bear to read it." However, when he was in charge of Hanhai Tower, he saw that the monks were full of questions, and the questions were similar, and he wanted to understand them, so he couldn't help but have the intention of writing books, but he had no ability to write books. When you are a beginner, many of the lessons you have learned are exactly what the monks need, and you can just sort them out, and you don't have to write them all over again! The book should be complete and practical, not profound. ”
After listening to Daochen's words, Lei Shaoxuan was quite moved, this is a respectable and kind old man.
My notes are really complicated, and I want to sort them out, which is a little exciting.
Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a moment and said, "I only have a second-level Qi cultivation level. The cultivation experience of practicing qi at more than three levels is mostly excerpts from classics, and without practical research, it may not be correct, and if it is wrong, it will inevitably mislead people. I can complete my notes, but I need to be corrected by someone else to complete them. ”
Lei Shaoxuan's promise to this matter was actually for himself.
Although he has sorted out a complete system of spiritual knowledge, he has copied it from the classics, and no one has reviewed or verified it in practice, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.
Now that you have sorted out your notes and received guidance from a master, you don't have to worry about making mistakes in your cultivation path.
Daochen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "On the fourth floor of Hanhai Building, you can find me at any time." ”
Daochen looked at Lei Shaoxuan, and suddenly said: "You have a strong evil qi on your body, your eyes are clear, and you obviously have a strong divine thought, and you can suppress the evil qi and not be harmed by it." However, you have been tired and asleep in Hanhai Tower several times, presumably because you don't know how to use the power of the Yuan Shen in cultivation, where does your divine thoughts come from?"
Lei Shaoxuan thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I can perceive things with my divine thoughts, but I don't know what a primordial god is. At that time, he once rescued a monk who was injured by a poisonous snake and was dying, and he had to pass on the "Diamond Sutra" and "Heart Sutra", reciting it every day, and gradually cultivating his divine thoughts. ”
Hearing this, Dao Chen's brows furrowed slightly: "No wonder a mortal also has such a strong divine thought. Buddhism emphasizes the unity of the soul and the flesh, the practice is the highest depth, the divine mind is the body, no matter what kind of belief you originally held, you will be assimilated by the Heart Sutra into one heart, one heart to the Buddha, the heart is like a rock, dedicated to the Buddha country. ”
Daochen continued: "The monk's method is extremely powerful, let your grass and trees and stubborn stones be ignited and turned into a devout Buddha. ”
Daochen sighed secretly, allowing people to read a book every day naturally becomes an obsession and belief, and he can't be allowed to read it. Single-minded, natural and spiritually strong.
Lei Shaoxuan was shocked and said, "I never thought about becoming a monk. ”
No wonder Moro said that these two sutras are not passed on by Buddhists, and it turns out that they deceive people into Buddhism, and it cannot be said that they are deceitful, but in fact, the scriptures are too powerful, and they will integrate the original thoughts and become Buddhas.
Moro didn't want to preach the scriptures at first, but it was not for Lei Shaoxuan's sake.
"There is no trace of the monk's plot. Daochen sighed: "Don't practice the Heart Sutra anymore, otherwise you will inevitably become a Buddha in the end." Just chant the Diamond Sutra. ”
Daochen took out a book.
"The caretaker of Hanhai Tower can only be served by people with extremely strong Yuan Shen. As far as the Yuan Shen is concerned, I don't dare to say that the sect is the first, but it is not bad, relying on the "Taiqing Chongxu True Scripture". Refining this scripture, but he is not afraid of any ghostly, evil, and murderous aura. Since it is fate, this scripture is given to you, and it must not be passed on. ”
The way of heaven is slim, only fate can be obtained, there is a fate of natural luck to the sky, "Taiqing Chongxu Zhenjing" is the top practice of cultivating the Yuan Shen, not fate does not pass.
Since he met a master and cooperated with him, Lei Shaoxuan was polite and asked the long-standing question in his heart.
"Elder Daochen, what is chaos? first chaos or first the five elements?"
Lei Shaoxuan's face was full of anticipation.
"Why do you ask this, what does this question have to do with cultivation?" Elder Daochen looked at Lei Shaoxuan and asked strangely.
This question is too mysterious.
"But all the introductory scriptures, exercises, and Taoist books, the beginning is mostly the beginning of chaos, or the beginning of heaven and earth, so there are doubts. Lei Shaoxuan has always been strange about this.
This question really has nothing to do with cultivation, but it has been haunting Lei Shaoxuan's heart for a long time without an answer, and his mind is quite incomprehensible.
"Yes," Dao Chen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Chaos, the beginning of heaven and earth, is the beginning of cultivation, but it is also the end of cultivation. If you don't reach the end of your cultivation, how can you understand what chaos is? You just need to know the beginning of your cultivation and know that there is a chaotic realm, but you don't have to explore what chaos is. The introductory book has something to say, and there is no need to explore it, and there is no need to talk about the mysteries. ”
"Yes. Lei Shaoxuan was stunned for a while, and this question was still unsolved.
Fortunately, I understand that at least this question has nothing to do with cultivation, and that there is no need to understand it when I practice.
......
It's not easy to write any book, especially a book of spiritual practice.
If it's too deep, it's useless. Books are for reference to solve doubts, and if the book is too deep, the monk can't understand it, and the book itself becomes a problem for the monk, so won't it lose its reference value?
Too shallow is useless. Everyone knows it, so naturally it has no application value.
Writing a book starts with determining the angle, or scale, and who will use it?
Lei Shaoxuan suddenly woke up, and Daochen took this opportunity to ask and remind Lei Shaoxuan to first determine the perspective of the book.
Lei Shaoxuan is a junior monk, and the book uses Lei Shaoxuan's perspective.
Lei Shaoxuan's perspective is already in the excerpt notes, but the excerpt has no level, no structure, random recording, and it is not a book.
