Chapter 5 This is Cultivation
Wandering around, Yang Tian found a place similar to a park, with leisure benches, he finally found an unmanned bench to sit on, took out his books, and began to cultivate.
Although the hypnotic Heart Sutra is more precious, it is also more difficult to learn, and the first thing Yang Tian read was "Basic Course of Spiritual Cultivation".
The auxiliary system was directly developed by the god of the gods, and its function is very powerful, and its understanding of runes and inscriptions is also unmatched, so its translation can be described as the translation of the heart. Directly translated the content in a way that Yang Tian could understand, which not only eliminated the barrier between language and writing, but also eliminated the barrier of cultural level.
After turning a few pages, Yang Tian was attracted by the content. The more I looked down, the more shocked I became, it turned out that people could really become stronger through cultivation.
A book is not thick, and it only took a few hours for him to finish it all. Closing the book, he began to digest the shock of the knowledge in it.
In the book, it is said that the soul is illusory, the heaven and the earth are real, and it is the bridge that communicates the soul and the heaven and the earth, that is, the bridge between heaven and earth. The root of cultivation is to connect heaven and earth.
Cultivating to the deepest realm, the potential of the human body has been developed to the maximum, and the physical body has evolved into a superhuman body, and its strength is so great that it can move mountains. The mind is also detached from vanity, manifested in heaven and earth, and can interfere with the real world a little, which is called manifestation.
Further, the mind is condensed into an entity, which can be freed from the shackles of the body and exist between heaven and earth, and the mind directly communicates with heaven and earth, turning into the bridge of heaven and earth itself, which is the manifestation of sanctification. Legend has it that the Manifest One can live with heaven and earth and attain eternal life. Before the manifestation of the spirit, there are four stages: meditation, concentration, retraction, and fetal breathing, of which meditation is the foundation of the foundation. Whether or not a person can enter meditation is related to whether or not a person can have the fate of cultivation.
The "Basic Course of Spiritual Cultivation" mentions a method of exercising the mind, called "Sinking Water Meditation", which is a method of visualization that allows people to enter meditation.
There are many methods of visualization in Buddhism, such as "White Bone View" and "Pure Land View", but these visualization methods are mysterious and mysterious, and it is even more difficult to cultivate, and it is far less easy to understand than "Sinking Water View".
The "view of sinking water" is quite simple to say, that is, to concentrate on imagining that the body is a cup, the mind is the water in the cup, and the troubles and distractions in the heart are the turbid impurities in the water. Keep your heart, calm as water, and then watch the impurities in the water settle down little by little. When one's mind can be forbidden at any time, and no longer moves with one's own distracting thoughts, it is quiet.
When Yang Tian really tried to cultivate, he found that the difficulty of this submerged water view was beyond imagination. First of all, people's thinking will definitely follow the distracting thoughts, just like an ancient well without fluctuations, after throwing stones, it is inevitable that there will be ripples of anger. However, the view of sinking water requires that this ancient well still does not fluctuate in the process of stone input, which is obviously impossible to do.
However, the book says that if you have the help of deep sleep, you will be able to get started quickly by cultivating the concept of submersion. Every deep sleep is like a computer restart, and the distractions are those background processes, and when you just restart, there are always the least number of background processes, so it is easier to get in.
The sleep of the human body is divided into two parts: deep sleep and light sleep. Generally speaking, a person needs to sleep for a full eight hours to get a full night's sleep, of which deep sleep is often less than an hour. However, scientific research has proven that the recovery power brought by this deep sleep of less than an hour has reached 80%.
Theoretically, if a person can go directly to deep sleep, they only need to sleep for a full hour to restore the vitality of the body and make it energetic.
But the average person often needs several hours of brewing before they can gradually fall into a deep sleep. If you want to go straight into deep sleep, it's almost impossible. When you are full of the third bun, can you eat the "third bun" directly? I have to say that Yang Tian encountered a paradoxical problem.
Yang Tian, who felt the difficulty, closed the "Basic Course of Spiritual Cultivation" and opened the "Hypnotic Heart Sutra Volume 1". After reading a few pages, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and the problem that he had just been at a loss for was no longer a problem.
Hypnosis! A person can go directly into a deep sleep by being hypnotized. It is precisely because of this that the profession of hypnotist is very popular in places where cultivation is prevalent. However, hypnosis skills are difficult to learn, and it is extremely difficult to learn them, so qualified hypnotists are extremely rare.
It is difficult for ordinary people to learn, but it doesn't mean that Yang Tian can't learn it! The "Hypnotic Heart Sutra", which has been translated by the auxiliary system "Mind Translation", has completely no difficult doubts, and even without the need for a master, you can understand the key parts.
The stone of the mountain can attack jade, and hypnosis is the stone of the mountain. With hypnosis, it is possible to make ordinary people easily fall into a deep sleep. People who have experienced deep sleep will be able to grasp the trick of cultivation easily when they wake up with pure and free impurities.
To practice the Hypnotic Heart Sutra, you also need to visualize, and this kind of visualization is called water lily view, imagining yourself as a water lily that comes out of the mud and is not stained, pure and immaculate. After ignoring all those distractions, people can naturally hypnotize themselves and put themselves into a deep sleep.
It is also a visualization, but the water lily view is much easier to cultivate than the submerged water view. Because the Water Lily View only has a miraculous effect on hypnotizing oneself, but it does not have much effect on the enhancement of the mind, it is much simpler to cultivate.
Moreover, the words of this book contain the author's spiritual will, which itself has a hypnotic power. When he finished reading this book, Yang Tian had already grasped the key to the concept of water lilies, and successfully visualized himself as a water lily that came out of the mud without staining, and entered a deep sleep.
The thoughts of the heart, the activity of the brain, are mud. As long as all this sludge is isolated and can no longer affect the mind, everything can be completely let go, the brain begins to sleep, and the human body enters a deep sleep, which is the principle of water lily visualization.
Deep sleep, it is precisely because the brain stops moving, the body is completely relaxed, and the body is fully regulated, so it can have such a good effect, and at the same time, it can restore the spirit and energy. As for human breathing, the heartbeat is controlled by the brain stem and does not pass through the brain, so the brain temporarily stops moving, and the body does not die.
One hour, Yang Tian woke up from a deep sleep and found that his body had indeed regained his vitality, and his spirit was better than ever. In the past, there were always small problems such as dizziness in the morning and dark circles in the morning, but now they are all swept away.
In such a good state, there are very few distractions in his heart. Now he finally understood why deep sleep could help him cultivate the concept of sinking water.
The concept of sinking water originally requires that in the visualization, let the distracting thoughts be like impurities in the water, naturally precipitate, the thoughts do not follow the distracting thoughts, and the reading power is beyond the worries, detached from the world, so that the soul can be enhanced.
Originally, it is difficult to read the mind, and if there are distracting thoughts and troubles, the thoughts will inevitably be implicated, and they cannot be separated from it, and they cannot be recovered. Therefore, in this case, the fewer distracting thoughts there are, the more beneficial it will be for the cultivation of the Sinking Water Concept.
Striking while the iron was hot, Yang Tian immediately cultivated the view of sinking water. Where to lie down, the mind is caught in a visualization. Soon he felt that his body had become a cup, and his mind had become the water in the cup, but all kinds of thoughts and distractions in his heart were still disturbing the mind and making the water in the cup ripple. Let the mind, which should be clear and free of impurities, become turbid.
What he has to do now is to let his thoughts read Zhuo Zhuo, and let those distracting thoughts float through his heart in a bystander attitude, as if he was watching a play. Without the involvement of thoughts, those distracting thoughts will naturally settle down, and they will no longer stir up waves, and the mind will be purified.
But how can it be so easy to keep your thoughts from wandering away and your soul not to wave? For example, Yang Tian remembered a beautiful woman he had a crush on, so according to the requirements of the Sinking Water View, when this beauty appeared in his mind, he stopped thinking about her, just as if she was a picture floating in front of him, and had nothing to do with him.
But in fact, he couldn't help but think about this beauty, wanted to chase her, kiss her, hug her, and call her ...... These are all distracting thoughts, one ring after another. The more you think about it, the more turbid your mind becomes, the more your mood fluctuates, and the farther away from the original intention of the Sinking Water Visualization, the more difficult it is to cultivate the Sinking Water Concept, and the more difficult it is for the mind to strengthen.
Fortunately, Yang Tian, who had just gone through a deep sleep, had very few distracting thoughts. Before he knew it, he had already captured some doorways to the view of submersion.
At this time, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be schizophrenic, and he was able to observe his distracting thoughts and troubles with the attitude of a bystander, and not be moved by distracting thoughts and troubles.
This kind of outstanding reading ability, the feeling of detachment from the outside, is really fluttering, more than what kind of food to eat, what to do beautiful things**.
At this moment, he finally turned into a glass of water precipitated by impurities, and his heart was unprecedentedly pure, like a baby, without good or evil.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his mother's womb, giving up all his random thoughts.
Can you be inseparable from the camp? Domineering and soft, can you be like a baby? At this moment, he suddenly understood this sentence in the Tao Te Ching. It turns out that this is cultivation!
