Chapter 42: A Different Taoism
When he returned to the Taoist temple, he also fell into deep thought. When the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in the previous life, Taoism had declined. Far less prosperous than Buddhism, in addition to the Taoist doctrine that emphasizes self-transcendence, does it have nothing to do with the Taoist priests in the world losing their enterprising spirit?
The prosperity of the world is indeed intoxicating. Powerful and rich, but also crazy. Except for the difficult preaching at the beginning of the establishment of Taoism. It seems that it has always been rare to see a famous swordsman who is willing to walk and preach the teachings. However, in the name of becoming immortals, there are not a few people who fool the king. Taoism is too high. Blindly walking on the high-rise, luring the kings and nobles by cultivating the Tao to become immortals, although it can get a moment of prosperity, but it is like a fortress on the beach, once the king is no longer superstitious about Dan mercury, Taoism is like spring and white snow, instantly turned clean. The Word speaks of this life, but it may not fail to talk about the next life. It is true that Taoism is noble, but there are a few who can really live forever. Could it be that the six reincarnations of the Netherworld Mansion were opened by its Buddhist family?
It took several days to sort out the Taoist classics. Buddhism has branches. There are also a lot of Taoists, and I can't open another one. Nowadays, the path of cultivation is difficult, and it is not comparable to ancient times. It is difficult to cultivate in this life, so you can still seek one for the next life. There is the Pure Land of Bliss in the West, and there is also the Pure Land of Eternal Life in the East. In the world, one of himself can hold one of himself and one of Taiyi's Relief Heavenly Venerables, that is, he can turn the world of Supo into a lotus state, which is quiet and unstained, because the heart is pure and the land is pure. Before dying, he did not forget to remember Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun, and he was immediately led to the East Pole Changle World - the East Pole Miaoyan Palace, and never escaped the suffering of the cycle of life and death. It's just that Taoism preaches unfavorably, and few people know about it. Lichen decided to focus on it, and it became a unique classic, plus the virtue of promoting the Tao and the power of education. It is not possible to win a place for Taoism in the future, and it is not in vain that he is a person from two generations and three Qingmen.
As he said, Lichen immediately began to act, using the ecstasy formation to isolate the inside and outside, and began to write a special dictionary. After thinking about it for a long time, it was completed in seven days. After reading it carefully, he went up to the Sanqing Seat and begged the Dao Monarchs to agree. If you want to open the door of Taoist Pudu, without the approval of the Great Dao Monarchs, and the agreement with the Heavenly God Realm and the Underground Netherworld, it will be just a pure fool. This time, Lichen really saw a glimmer of the dawn of the vast Dao Gate. So special high hopes are given. The fragrance continued, and the chief knelt in front of him, reciting the name of the god and praying for the oracle of heaven. didn't know that Lichen really shocked the Taoist gods this time, including his own ancestor.
The Taoist canon of the dust does not debut the collection, but the emphasis is different. Because of the different emphasis, Taoism has completely changed. No longer talk about burning pills and practicing mercury, nor do we talk about meditation and pure practice. However, it is to preach merit and preach, to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and to seek to be reborn in the East Pole of the Eternal Blissful World, in order to transcend life and death or good fortune in the next life. It is more similar to Buddhism, and it will no longer return to the aristocratic atmosphere of the past, and it will become a common religion. Crossing oneself to save others, and opening the door of convenience. When Chen wrote the Taoist scriptures, the three Dao Zuns who were far above the Nine Heavens already knew, not to mention that Chen personally asked for approval before enshrined the Taoist scriptures.
Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of Taoism, and he must be the most concerned. swept away the dusty new Taoist canon, and it was already clear in his heart. It is nothing more than intercepting the teachings, intercepting a section of its Dao and interpreting it, and then it becomes a new branch that is beneficial to the propagation of the Dharma and has nothing to do with the immortal Dao. Whether it is a pro or a con, Lao Jun's heart moves, and he can naturally deduce endlessly. I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, noncommittal. At the same time, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun have long been clear. Yuan Shi Tianzun was unhappy in his heart. Lingbao Tianzun was relieved. The avenue of fifty and forty-nine is a fixed number, and a glimmer of life escapes, and the doctrine of interception is to intercept this line of life. However, the disciples who are not intercepted by the dust can coincide with the true meaning of the interception of the sect and seek a ray of life for the prosperity of Taoism. Isn't that a formal proof that the interception of the teachings is better than the exposition?
Sanqing knew about Chen's sky-breaking move in the Nether, and Emperor Donghua and Lu Chunyang naturally knew about it. Naturally, such a big thing can't be hidden from the patriarch of this sect. Lu Chunyang was both relieved and worried when he saw his "feat" on the ground. I am glad that there are people under my own sect, and there is a great possibility of opening a sect master in the future. The concern is that this seems to be a bit big. completely changed the Taoist behavior of the past and took root in the people. I don't seek to live in this life, but I want to be transcendent after death. It is a big violation of the principle of Taoism in this life. So I'm a little worried about the reaction of the three Taoist Venerables. His realm was too low, so he could only go to Fang Zhushan to ask Emperor Donghua for advice.
"Disciple Chunyangzi to meet the patriarch" Lu Chunyang went straight into the palace of Emperor Donghua to meet Emperor Donghua, and before he could ask, Emperor Donghua had already taken out a mapping version of the new Taoist canon written by Chen.
"I know your concerns. This matter is important, there is a great opportunity, and there is also a great risk in the great merit. Everything depends on how the three Dao Venerables look at it. But the decline of Taoism has become a foregone conclusion, and your disciple is really a variable in heaven and earth. Maybe my Taoist luck is all here. And today, I know why this son can be so respected and favored by the Tao, and the Tao of Heaven is loved. In the end of the Heavenly Dao. Cultivation is like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. The laws listed in this son may not be impossible to compete with the world's religions in the future. The three Dao Venerables are clear about the past and the future, so you shouldn't worry. Emperor Donghua nodded. But he looked directly at the Nine Heavens Heaven Doushi Palace. The three Heavenly Venerables of Taoism there should also have a result, right?
Above the heavenly court, that immortal is not a vast supernatural power. Naturally, he also knew about the things of the Nether. Taoist patriarch Zhang Tianshi was noncommittal, but other immortals and gods secretly guessed the result. It is a matter of Taoist luck, not only the Taoist immortals, but also the Buddha Buddha of the Western Elysium has also begun to deduce the heavenly opportunities one by one. It's just that the three saints are deliberating, how can others snoop on it. It is indispensable to have a heavenly counterattack, and a lesson that is not big or small falls out of the heavenly machine calculation. Don't dare to ride any more thoughts.
"When I see the cause and effect of the previous life and the next life, I will get the three Miao and the three Bodhi, and I know that there is one way to heaven. If there is vitality, great wisdom and great luck. Disciples don't have to force it. What is determined by the way of heaven and discussed by the Dao Venerable, it must not be transgressed. When you know your own heart, you know your heart, there is no obstacle and no hindrance" If you come to sit in the Mahavira Treasure Hall, watch the group of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc., lose their normal hearts, and they have to play the heavenly machine and be counterattacked by the Heavenly Dao. I have to remind all the disciples that the way of heaven cannot be unpredictable.
"Thank you for your advice," all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats stood up one after another to thank Nyolai for their advice. If there is a sentence that knows one's own heart and knows the heart of others, there is no obstacle and no hindrance. The results have been spoken. As long as you bring yourself into the other party's thinking, it is not difficult for anyone to understand the choice of the three Dao Venerables.
One day in heaven, one year on earth. It's already in the middle of the moon. The Sanqing oracle is still nowhere to be seen. Although Yun Lingzi is a yin soul, he is an authentic Taoist disciple. Naturally, he is not afraid to run around in front of the statues of various gods and goddesses. It is rare to see my own master for so many days, not out of the door, and do a "big thing" without stepping forward. Naturally, I have to share my worries for the master. Help clean the Taoist temple, clean up the inside and outside. It's a lot of fun. It's just that there was a bang in the Taoist temple in the middle of the night, and I didn't know that it was cleaning the Taoist temple! I'm still going to tear down these rooms.
