【Chinese Culture Begins with Meditation】

I am full of magical feelings about dreams, I believe that the answer to dreams should be in Taoism and Buddhism, Taoism says "people have no dreams", which means that people who cultivate to the home do not have dreams, I have visited a large number of Buddhists and Taoists, hoping to find the answer from them.

Taoist figures say, Taoism has a special kung fu called sleep work, according to the Taoist ancestor Chen Tuan "sleep for 3,000 years, nap for 800 years", Taoist said "learn the Tao without learning the Tao, learn a dog to sleep", Chen Kuan's sleep work is called "dragon stinging method".

There are poems handed down:

To people have no dreams, their dreams are wandering immortals.

Real people don't sleep, and when they sleep, they are in smoke.

There is always joy in the smoke, and there is no day in the pot.

If you want to know in your sleep, the first mystery in the world.

The dragon returns to the Yuan Sea, and the yang dives in the yin.

People say that they sting the dragon, but I sting.

Hidden its use, breathe deeply.

The white clouds lie high, and there is no sound in the world.

--

I have also gotten the inheritance of Chen Lu's "Tai Chi Bagua Meridian Jue" sleeping skills, but I don't know whether it is true or false, I hope that in the future, I can see the master, so that I can participate in the dream of the avenue.

Okay, the topic of dreams is over, and I'll talk about my third strange thing, I was born and couldn't speak, my family was so worried, I don't know how many doctors I see, it's just useless.

Until I was five years old, one day, I was playing with a group of children outside the door, my grandfather sat on a bamboo chair not far away and watched from afar, then a strange thing happened, I was under the impression of a Taoist priest, but then my grandmother said that she was a monk, she was obviously not present at the time, why did she have the final say?

My grandfather later told me, "How do you write good words?" If the female character is on the left, everything will be fine if it is on the top".

I don't understand, whatever, if it's a monk, it's a monk!

Anyway, he came over, walked up to me, grabbed me and looked at me with a smile for a while, and then shouted: "What a child, it's a pity to break it!" ”

The sound was so loud that Grandpa heard it, and he stood up at once. According to what he later said, his first reaction at that time was that the Tao broke the heavenly machine, what heavenly machine did the Tao break? He thought about it again and again, and suddenly understood that it was Wang Yunzhi's "cloud" that broke his grandmother's fairy dream, so he immediately renamed me "Wang Shouren", and when something strange happened, I immediately spoke.

It's really strange that I'm a party to this matter, so I've had an inexplicable and strong interest in Buddhism since I was a child.

According to my grandfather, I later recited the books that my grandfather had read, and he was surprised and asked me how I could recite them.

I replied, "Wen Zu had already memorized it when he read it. ”

I don't remember this very well, but that's all for my childhood myths, and I'll talk about my childhood school career again.

In fact, my childhood study career has been mentioned sporadically in the previous chapters. But this time, I'm going to talk about it a little more systematically.

Of course, the most profound influence on me when I was a child was my grandfather, who was a scholar, a Taoist, and a king of stories. I remember that I liked to listen to my grandfather tell stories since I was a child, and he could really tell them, from "Twenty-four Filial Piety" to "Thirty-six Strategies", from history to literature, among which I was most impressed by the truth that he told me in the "Tao Te Ching" that "for learning day by day, for the Tao is declining", which means that every day I make a little progress in learning, and reduce a little bit every day in behavioral habits, especially bad habits.

My favorite is the story of Taoist immortals, what eight immortals, seven truths, three officials, four royals, I like the story of ancient times, Fuxi human head snake body subdued dragon horse, Nuwa is also human head snake body refining colorful stones to make up the sky, what Hou Yi shoots the sun, Chang'e ascends to heaven, wonderful.

Among them, the most interesting thing I heard is the legend of the seven sons of Quanzhen, Qiu Chuji learned from Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang knew that he was very smart as soon as he saw Qiu Chuji, so he ignored him and told him to sweep the floor. After Wang Chongyang was featurated, Qiu Chuji looked for a looker, and at first glance, it was a kind of "beetle snake lock mouth" appearance, which was the appearance of starvation, and celebrities like Deng Tong and Zhou Yafu in history were starved to death because of this appearance. Houqiu was in Panxi for six years and Longmen for seven years, and finally cultivated into the immortal Buddha of "two dragons playing with pearls".

Grandpa talked about the things of the world, there are fixed numbers and variables, as long as you work hard, you will change your fate.

Sun Buer, a beautiful woman, did not hesitate to disfigure herself in order to cultivate the Tao, and after her deeds were completed, she became a beauty again.

Grandpa said that when encountering problems, we must make up our minds and dare to take risks, God will definitely have a good arrangement, and the key is to trust God.

My father added: "You must trust the principles of heaven, and human nature is the principles of heaven." ”

Grandma said beside her, "The Buddha is in my heart." ”

I couldn't laugh or cry.

Wang Chuyi stood on the beach for nine years, and finally became a road, and his grandfather said: "As long as you work hard, you can eventually become a road." ”

I have learned the truth of enduring hardships and perseverance.

My father said, "Where there is a will, there is a way; Hard-working people, the sky does not pay. ”

Tan Chuduan had a bad temper, but in the end, Wang Chongyang changed into a punch from Huazi to make him look for teeth all over the ground, and he clapped his hands and laughed: "Good fight, good fight", and finally became a big road.

I looked back and saw my mother winking at me, and I shouted, "Don't be tempted, don't be tempted to achieve great things." ”

My father also said: "Whenever there is a big event, you have to be calm", my God, it's too chaotic.

Liu Chuxuan couldn't pass the sex pass, so he went to the brothel to cultivate, and finally achieved a positive result.

Grandpa said, "You don't understand this, you just need to remember to get up from where you fall." ”

The father shook his head: "What are you talking about?" ”

The grandfather was annoyed and angry, and said, "You go farther, you can read your books with peace of mind, and you don't care about your son's affairs." "The most incredible thing that makes me feel is that Danyang Zi Ma Yu, in order to seek immortality, actually donated all his property to Wang Chongyang, an old man.

Grandpa said, "Only by giving can you get it." ”

The father interjected again: "Give up all me, and you will sanctify me." ”

Where is this?

One day, I was so childlike that I wanted to verify something, so I went to my grandfather first and asked, "Grandpa, where does Taoist practice begin?" ”

Without thinking, Grandpa said, "Start with meditation!" ”

Then teach me to naturally cross the feet, the single leg is called the silver plate, the double foot is called the gold plate, what mudras, ancestral tips, dantian, it is quite interesting.

I ran to my grandmother again and asked, "Grandma, where does the practice of Buddhism begin?" ”

Without thinking, Grandma said, "Start with meditation!" ”

Then teach me what to do with your eyes and nose and your nose at your heart. Here the single disc is called "Half Knee Sitting", and the double disc is called "Full Knee Sitting", so it's fun!

I ran to my father again and asked him, "Where does Confucian practice begin?" ”

He finally stopped meditating, he said, "Sit. ”

What to say is to "be good at the beginning", what to say to "be respectful and upright", what is "not to see, not to listen, what is not to speak", what is very troublesome.

I ran to my mother and asked, "Mother, where did this martial art and art of war start?" ”

As soon as my mother spoke, I fainted on the spot: "Meditate! ”

It's back again, "The key to using soldiers is not to be tempted, if the mind is uncertain, then the consciousness is unclear, and it is not clear how to respond to the enemy and how to defeat the enemy?" Only when the mind is calm can we control people, but not people. ”

It makes a lot of sense, but no matter how much I talk about meditation, I will meditate when I have nothing to do in the future. I ran to the temple to stay and stay on the mountain, especially the seventy-two caves that my grandfather talked about, which made me full of longing for meditation and practice in Xianjia Cave.
