In the 58th episode, Wang Laodao listened to the wind to the moon, and the sword and sword shadow in the world

The poem says:

The vast sky is facing the moon, and the vast earth is endless.

The long and bumpy road of cultivation tests the elves' cultivation of Buddhism.

It is said that Wang Laodao took Wang Zhentai out of the West Cave, by the Qingqing River, facing the sesame stone, Wang Laodao grabbed it in the air, and then gently pointed to the ground, a stone table, surrounded by a circle of stone benches, a few light side dishes on the stone table, and a pot of wine, and another stone case, on a six-stringed piano, next to a sword.

Wang Laodao kept glaring, "Donor, please sit down, you and I are singing about wine, under the moon before this flower, next to the scenery of the Qingqing River Valley, taste this Du Kang old wine, talk freely, how about learning?"

Wang Zhentai: "Please ask the old fairy for advice." ”

Wang Laodao pointed to the moon in the sky, "What do you see?"

Wang Zhentai "A bay of bright moon." ”

Wang Lao said, "Yes, in the face of him, people in the world think differently, so the emotions expressed are also different. The moon in front of us, in front of the ancients, has different feelings for him, the poet immortal Li Bai saw him, 'raised his head to look at the bright moon, bowed his head and thought of his hometown,' expressing homesickness. In "Drinking Alone Under the Moon", Li Bai is another kind of feeling, 'Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes a trio'. Or this Li Bai is in "The Resentment of the Jade Steps", "The Jade Ladder is born with white dew, and the night invades Luo socks for a long time." But under the crystal curtain, looking at the autumn moon'. There is also a particularly famous poem, which he also wrote in "Guan Shan Yue", "The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds" is so heroic, which is different from the previous scenes, the artistic conception and mind of the poem, the image and sustenance of the moon in his mind, are completely different. Everything is the same, what you see is not necessarily what you see, what you don't see is not necessarily non-existent, and cultivation is the same, what you want to pursue is not necessarily the final result you get, the pursuit itself is the most important. Just like the moon, no matter what kind of mood Li Bai changes, what poems do he use to describe it? He is still the same moon, and he has never changed. No matter what we do, our cultivation is also to keep our original intentions, the world is disturbed, our surroundings are true and false, as long as you keep your original intentions, your pursuit remains the same, naturally we will not corrode ourselves, or the same me. ”

Wang Zhentai, "What the old fairy taught is that Xiao Ke can be taught." ”

Wang Lao said, "In this big world of disturbances, what you see with your own eyes may not be true, so you must always reflect, don't be confused by the things in the world, keep the Buddha's heart unchanged, compassion, kindness-based, just like the moon, always so bright, hanging in the sky, no matter who sends him a good verse, he is still at night, still so bright." ”

Wang Zhentai, "Old immortal, how can you do it?"

Wang Lao said, "The greed in the world is nothing more than fame and fortune." This is the origin of all the sins in the world. As a cultivator, we should be empty, but as long as we live in the world, the disturbances of these greedy thoughts will not stop all the time, and once these temptations shake our nature, you will go astray, lose your original heart, and destroy your own practice, and when you understand, the evil consequences have already been caused, so don't give up. My Buddha has a saying, 'the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back is the shore,' put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', in this world of flowers, it is not terrible to take some detours and suffer some hardships, but what is terrible is to lose faith, lose yourself, and finally deviate from your own nature. On your path of cultivation, there will definitely be ups and downs and tribulations, so you need to stick to your nature and not lose your way, and you will definitely achieve positive results. ”

Wang Zhentai, "The master is teaching me that I still need to go through the world, endure hardships, and no longer be tempted by fame and fortune before I can achieve positive results?"

Wang Lao said, "The son can be taught." All the truths need to be realized through a lot of hardships before they can enter your cultivation and become your own wealth. As the saying goes, if you want to know the taste of pears, you must taste them with your own mouth, we have to practice, not to chant and read, but to practice, put the world's avenues in our hearts, every word and deed, be strict with ourselves, be lenient with others, and finally be able to get it, this is the right way. Now you can calm down and listen to what you can hear?"

Wang Zhentai was silent for a while, "Old immortal, I only hear the wind roaring again, and the river is flowing." ”

Wang Lao said, "Yes, with your current practice, you can only hear this. Guess what I heard?"

Wang Zhentai, "Xiao Ke is dull, please advise the master." ”

Wang Lao said, "I heard the neighing of war horses, the light of swords and swords, the destruction of life, and the shattering of rivers and mountains. Since Tang Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty Zhongxing, the Anshi Rebellion, buried the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years of foundation, the world chaos, the princes rose, nearly a hundred years, the common people have never had a peaceful birthday. Now, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao Dynasty are both the most powerful periods, and the confrontation between the two powers is not a long-term solution, and there will definitely be swords and soldiers to meet each other. You say, is it the neighing of war horses, the light of swords and swords?"

Wang Zhentai, "The old immortal has experienced ups and downs, rich imagination, far-sightedness, naturally sees clearly, thinks long-term, small can not be compared, as a cultivator, where do you know the world's major events." ”

Wang Lao said, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, since the chaotic world, Pangu opened the sky, you sang and I appeared, the long river of history rolled forward, a lot of emperors and generals, a group of heroes and deer, change the dynasty, which time is not the life of the miserable? We, people outside the world, just saw the troubles of this red dust, so we saw through the red dust, jumped out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, but we live in this world, can we be completely free? If you want to grasp current affairs, you should be obsessed with fire and water, do our best to educate the people, be kind, and not be able to use swords, which is the greatest creation of the people. Only by grasping the situation can we prescribe the right medicine, promote the Dharma of our Buddha, educate the people, and universalize all sentient beings. If you just recite Buddhist scriptures every day, detached from the facts, which common people will want to listen to you?"

Wang Zhentai, "The old fairy taught. How can I grasp current affairs?"

Wang Lao said, "Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles." I heard that there is a Zijin Temple, where there are many monks, you might as well go for a walk and see what opportunities there are, if you meet a master, you might as well worship him as a teacher, you don't know. ”

Wang Zhentai, "Xiao Ke wrote it down." ”

Wang Lao said, "There is one more thing, what does your sister Wang Cailian think?"

Wang Zhentai, "My sister Wang Cailian, the heart of cultivation is determined, but there is still a young son to raise, the old fairy you know, we two young motherless, deeply know how painful it is for children without a mother, so he wants to raise the children, do not let them have the pain of losing their mother, this I deeply understand, the whole world, which mother does not love her children? ”

Wang Lao said, "You and I are cultivators, we must have love in our hearts, let alone a mother who loves her children." Heaven and earth can be learned, Wang Cailian is a cultivator. What the mountain people have is patience. Hahaha, mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Precisely:

There is no smooth road in the world, and the path of cultivating the mind is difficult.

Changing the dynasty and changing the people's suffering, right and wrong are the best to protect their own hearts.

What are the bumps in Wang Zhentai's cultivation path? Does Wang Cailian recognize Wang Laodao as a teacher, and if you want to know what will happen in the future, please listen to the next breakdown.
