Chapter 176: Cultivation Diversification

Taoism, also known as Taoism, Huang Lao, Lao and Xuanmen, is the native religion of China, the root of the Chinese, the source of scientific wisdom in the East, the only religion in the world that vigorously promotes the development of science and technology, and the religion that cherishes life and respects women the most in the world. It is deeply rooted in the fertile soil of traditional Chinese culture. [

According to the Taoist scriptures, Taoism began in Pangu and opened the world, and the beginning of the teachings was established. Spread to the world, founded in the Yellow Emperor Kongtong asked, cast Ding alchemy, expounded in Lao Tzu under the pillar to spread the scriptures, the west out of the Han Valley. Therefore, with the Yellow Emperor as the era, it has a history of more than 4,700 years.

Taoism takes "Tao" as the highest belief, the belief in immortals as the core content, the Dan Dao magic as the cultivation path, and the ultimate goal of attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal and the Tao as the ultimate goal, pursuing natural harmony, national peace, social stability, and family harmony, and believing that cultivators who accumulate virtue can be happy and long-sighted, which fully reflects the spiritual life, religious consciousness and belief psychology of the Chinese, and is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation.

Taoism has had a profound impact on the country's academic thought, political economy, military strategy, literature and art, science and technology, national character, ethics and morality, way of thinking, folk customs, folk beliefs, etc., and Mr. Lu Xun once profoundly pointed out that "China's roots are all in Taoism." In contemporary times, Huang Lao and Taoism in the vocabulary of the ancients are Taoism, and it is difficult to say otherwise.

This is Taoism, which is very similar to Wang Ming's Qimen, after coming to this world, Wang Ming gradually discovered that many things in this world have a strong shadow of this world, as far as these cultivation systems are concerned.

Although there are fewer and fewer people who believe in these things in this society, there are still many myths that have been handed down in the past, and these myths have more or less conveyed a lot of information.

Wang Ming was convinced of these things, because these things represented the cultivation system of this world. There is no doubt about it. These things have certainly happened in history.

Just like their Qimen, the reason why Qimen appeared was because they had a Qimen ancestor, this ancestor was a generation of powerful people, and he became an immortal in the daytime, so he was admired and created the genre of Qimen.

According to the Taoist records, it began with the ancestral tribulation of the Long Han Dynasty, and the Yuqing Sect Master Yuan Shi Tianzun said that the Dharma was used to save people and spread to the world. The opening of the sect was taught by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

Worship the Emperor of Heaven and Kongtong asked, expounded the theory in the Taoist ancestor Laozi's Hanguan teaching scriptures and westward missions, and activated the people in the late Han Dynasty to establish the Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao and organize the Wudou Rice Dao Zhang Xiu. Therefore, Fengyuan Shitianzun is the originator, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is the ancestor, and Taishang Laojun is the ancestor.

Needless to say, a character like Lao Tzu must be the same character as the ancestor of Qimen, Lao Tzu fell from the sky. Needless to say, this must be after he attained enlightenment. After becoming an immortal. In order for his own Taoism to be passed down, he created the Tao and flowed his Taoism forever in the world......

Lao Tzu, the word Boyang, the nickname Dan, also known as Li Er. A native of Qurenli, Lixiang, Ku County, Chu State.

Taiqing Palace Town) people. He was one of China's greatest philosophers and thinkers, revered as the ancestor of Taoism and a world cultural celebrity.

Lao Tzu's ideological proposition is "Wu Wei". Lao Tzu uses "Tao" to explain the evolution of all things in the universe, "Tao" is an objective natural law, and at the same time has the eternal meaning of "independence does not change, and the cycle does not perish". The book "Lao Tzu" contains a large number of naïve dialectical views, such as the belief that everything has both positive and negative sides, and can be transformed from opposites, is "the movement of the opposite", "the right and the complex are strange, and the good is the demon", "the misfortune and the blessing are relied on, and the blessing and misfortune are lurking".

He also thinks that everything in the world is the unity of "being" and "nothing", "existence and non-existence are born together", and "nothing" is the basis, "everything in the world is born from being, and some are born from nothing". His aphorisms about the people are: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency by losing more than is lost, but the way of man is not, and the loss is not enough to give more than enough"; "The hunger of the people is as much as the food tax"; "The light death of the people is the thickness of survival on it"; "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?"

His philosophical ideas and the Taoist school founded by him have not only made important contributions to the development of ancient Chinese thought and culture, but also exerted a profound impact on the development of China's thought and culture for more than 2,000 years. Regarding his identity, some people believe that he is Lao Laizi, and he is also a native of Chu, and at the same time as Confucius, he wrote fifteen books to promote Taoism; Others believe that it was Zhou Taishi Dan, who lived more than 100 years after the death of Confucius.

The famous historian Sima Qian explained in his "Historical Records" "The Biography of Lao Tzu Han Fei Lie" that there were two speculations about Lao Tzu at that time. "Or say: Lao Tzu is also Lao Laizi, who wrote fifteen books, and said that the Taoists used it at the same time as Confucius." At that time, Sima Qian also suspected that Lao Tzu was Lao Laizi and was not the founder of Taoism.

Lao Dan lived a long life, and died at the age of more than 160, and the neighbors came to mourn. The old man weeps like his son; The few weep like their mother. Remembering Lao Tzu's nature of obeying the people, following the people's feelings, having no quarrel with the world, and treating people with kindness, all of them are overwhelmed with grief. Lao Dan's friend Qin Yi came to mourn, and went to Lao Tzu's spirit, not kneeling or worshipping.

Bow your hand and stop crying three times. When he was about to turn back, the neighbor stopped him and asked, "Are you not a friend of Lao Tzu?" Qin Yi replied; Of course. The neighbor said: "Since he is a friend of Lao Tzu, he is so kind and polite, but what?" "Qin Yi said;" Why not? When the neighbor heard this, he turned from anger to rebuke him and asked, "What is the reason?" Qin Yi smiled and said: "My friend is old and has a word, he is not happy in life, and he is not sad in death.

Can you smell it? In the past, the life of the old man was also made from nothing, gathered qi, came with the time, and was in line with the principles of nature, what is the joy? Today's death of Lao Dan is also from something to nothing, and it is extinguished by dispersion, and it goes with the time, which is in line with the natural reason. What's the sorrow? Those who are born to be happy are happy because they think that they should not be happy; Those who die and mourn think that they should not be sad and sad, and when they are released, they are noble and afraid of death when they die, they are all forced to live and die with their own will, and they are all against the principles of nature and let themselves go. If the time is smooth, then the sorrow and joy cannot enter.

And against nature, against the principles of heaven, in line with the Tao? It's not in line with the Tao, can it be a friend of the old man? Those who are old friends are also those who follow their words and follow the way. Since I am a friend of the old man, I can reason and resolve feelings, so I am not sad. ”

When the neighbor heard this, he seemed to have realized something, and asked, "If you are not sad, why do you cry three times?" Qin Yi smiled and said: "I cried three times, not because of sadness, but because of goodbye to Lao Dan." No. 1, it is said that it is born to respond to the time, and it is also in line with the principles of nature. No. 2, saying that when he dies, it is in line with the natural reason; No. 3, it is said that it is in the world to pass on the way of natural inaction, which is in line with the principles of nature. When Lao Dan responds with his feet, he moves and stops, what is my sorrow? When the neighbors heard this, they all said that Qin Yi was an old and true friend, so they recommended him to be the one who was the main burial. When the land was united, Qin Yi sang a eulogy and said: "The old sage, for the heavens, the gods are the same, and the eternal will be beautiful."

This is the story of Lao Tzu handed down in the world, we don't know whether these things are true or false, this mysterious character has left us too many fantasies.

Cultivating immortals asked, from him, there are many people in Chinese history who cultivated immortals in order to pursue immortality. Especially Taoism, Taoism is the most special and orthodox sect in China.

Taoism pays attention to alchemy and health preservation, which coincides with Wang Ming's side. Wang Ming was originally an alchemist, and cultivating immortals and alchemists was a pair of living treasures that would never be separated.

If you want to cultivate immortals, alchemy is basically something you need to know. Inside Wang Ming's Qi Gate, there is a special alchemy hall, called Dan Hall.

The Dantang is specially set up for alchemy, and before the beginning of the month, some basic alchemy drugs will be distributed in the Dantang.

For example, those young students who just came here all want pills to build a foundation. Building a foundation is a journey that everyone has to go through, and only after building a foundation is successful can we have the opportunity to enter a broader road.

Moving towards that pinnacle of the world, this is building a foundation, laying the foundation for one's own cultivation, and this is what it means on the surface.

Although Wang Ming's cultivation starts from the brain, he also has to go through the stage of foundation building, and many people's cultivation begins when they are children, and at this time their bodies are like a piece of jade, which has to be carved by others. (To be continued......)
