A wisp of light smoke floated out of the chimney, and there was still a trace of residual heat on the ground, and the dusk was not as sultry as at noon, but a little warmth in the crisp wind.

Ruan Xinfang thought for a long, long time, and looked up at the sky, only to see that the red sunset had already dyed most of the sky red, and the shapes were even more varied. He picked up a book for "Nine Essentials of Cultivation", only to see that it was written:

The path of cultivating the truth is the first major thing in the world, and it is also the first difficult thing in the world. With its greatness and difficulty, the ancients said that it was something that the world wanted. It is also a thing, and those who do not know the creation, understand the yin and yang, have the long-term and hard-won ambition, and step by step, cannot do it. Later generations of scholars, regardless of what this matter is, have not learned the Tao, that is, they want to become enlightened; If you have not learned, you want to be an immortal. It is no wonder that the cultivators are like cow hair, and the enlightened ones are like the horns of the linjiao. Since childhood, he has never met a righteous person, he does not distinguish between right and wrong, but he is chaotic and almost victimized. Fortunately, the old man of my teacher's shrine valley, smelling the fragrance slightly, began to know his past mistakes, and also knew that most of the Taoists in the world were wrong. Because of the meaning of my teacher, the program of cultivating the truth is mentioned as nine articles, which are called the nine essentials of cultivating the truth. Its method is from shallow to deep, inferiority and ascending, making a ladder for beginners. Regardless of learning the Tao and cultivating the Tao, according to these nine essentials, enter in an orderly manner, and eventually the blind master who can learn and understand will be able to discern the evil path and the right way. Even if you can't do what the world wants, you can also know that there are things that the world wants, so that you don't have to spend your life in vain.

The first thing to do is to investigate the world

Whew! Life in the world, like a dream bubble, a hundred years, fleeting. When impermanence arrives, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, you can't buy your life; Filial sons and grandsons can't share sorrows. If you don't do it early, you will be in a hurry temporarily, and the king of Hades will not show mercy, and if you lose your life, you will be ruined. Those who are interested in the Tao must open this pass in a hurry to have a thoroughfare. Otherwise, the dust will continue, and the delusion will become enlightened. Although he has become a monk, but his heart has never been a monk, every move is nothing more than using effort in the world, one line at a time, always doing work on human feelings, not being able to become a Taoist, and there is no reason to hear the Tao, why is it so expensive to become a monk? There are no mathematicians in ancient and modern times, and they have done this much. Therefore, those who learn the Tao are like cow hair, and those who have attained the Tao are like horns. Wu Zhenyun: "Let's ask if the pile of gold is like Daiyue, and the impermanence doesn't come to buy it?" "Dao Geyun: "Let go of the world first, and then study the truth carefully." "It is said that everything in the world is false, life is the truest, if you want to know its truth, you must first abandon its falsehood. How? As soon as he admits his falsehood, his heart is a false servant, and he is not a person who cherishes his life. Don't spare your own life, hang the void and not be real, empty the years, old age and death, what good is it? Xiluzu was suddenly confused because of a dream, and Matsu became the fastest because of his death, which was to first investigate the world and then cultivate the truth. Therefore, it is easy for others to come true. Moreover, the original system of ordination and cultivation is to investigate and break through the world. If you don't break through and force yourself to become a monk, you have no real name, you want to climb to the sky but fall to the ground, and you are suitable for defeat, wouldn't it be in vain? I would like to be a scholar, whether at home or a monk, if you want to discern the important things that matter to you, you must have a taste of the world beforehand. Taste and explore, taste and explore, taste and explore where there is no taste, and then I know that all fate is empty, and life is a big matter, and from then on, all false things outside the body will be erased. Down-to-earth, looking for teachers and visiting friends, brave and diligent, forgetting the body for the Tao, naturally sincere and honest, the ancestor secretly supports, when there is a real person to lead.

The second thing is to accumulate virtue and practice

Wu Zhenyun: "If it weren't for the cultivation of Yin virtue, there would be a group of demons as obstacles. It can be seen that the cultivation of virtue is the most important task of a cultivator. If you deviate from morality and talk about it, it is heresy, and it is far from the door. Therefore, the saints of the ancients must first understand the way; The sages of the ancients must first accumulate virtue. There is no ignorance of the Tao and can be sacred, and there is no ability to be virtuous without accumulating virtue. However, if you want to be holy, you must first be virtuous, and if you want to become enlightened, you must first accumulate virtue. Moral dual-use, internal and external, the study of the sages can be carried out. Those who are the Taoists are for their own business; Those who are virtuous are the things of people. There is no end to cultivation and endless virtue. From ancient times to the present, after the immortal Buddha attained enlightenment, he would still be with the light and dust, accumulate merit, and wait until the three thousand merits are completed and the eight hundred lines are completed, before receiving the edict of heaven. In addition, Jindan Avenue is jealous of ghosts and gods, and people who are not loyal and filial piety cannot know it, and people who are not great sages and great virtues dare not pass it on. That is, if it is known by force, the ghosts and gods do not like it, and it is bound to secretly bring disasters and promote their longevity. It is not in vain, but it is harmful. To the self-obtained shrine valley immortal stay, with the grand duke as the bosom, every time you meet a person with lofty ideals, you want to be introduced. Occasionally, there are hints of clues, and after Xu Guan, he is not very complacent and self-sufficient, and he can't go deeper, and he has been slacking off for a long time, and his ambition is exhausted. His greed and troubles are even greater than ordinary people. Several people before and after, all of them. Belch! Such people must have no virtue in their ancestors, and they have no deeds, so they are diligent and lack, and they lose their true sect, and they are irretrievable. Because he was careless, he lost his words and was repeatedly hindered. Fortunately, it doesn't matter much, the real treasure has not been stolen. In view of this, he stammered and did not dare to show his horns lightly, which must wait for those who have strong hands to pay for it. The scholar of the world entered the door, looked directly at the immortals as the easiest thing, and deceived the ten directions, ignorant of the taboo. Never think about the blood and sweat of all directions; A drink and a peck are the coolies of all living beings. or those who use mantras to deceive people; or those who use false ways to gain wealth; or there are those who use pornography and white arts to deceive; Do everything you can to count. I owe 10 points of debt on another day, and I don't know how to digest it. The ancients said: "Two horns or not, one tail is a thousand certain", must be this generation? Those who have aspirations for the Tao must be virtuous, self-reliant, and do not be confused and mislead the future. What is virtue? Those who care for the elderly and the poor, cherish the orphans and widows, give medicine and tea, repair bridges and roads, help the needy, light wealth and justice, and travel are convenient. What is it? Bitter self-benefit, diligent dust, virtue does not hope for retribution, there are grievances do not settle, there is merit but not felling, there are difficulties but not fear, and those who see righteousness must do it. Can accumulate virtue, can stand up, the longer the more powerful, the virtue of the ghosts and gods, the quality is super vulgar, the master sees it, decides to enter the eye, and the avenue is promising. Otherwise, if you don't accumulate a virtue, don't cultivate a line, delusionally become enlightened, meet a master, cover up your bad and focus on your goodness, and claim that you can deceive others, but you don't know that people regard themselves as if they see their lungs and liver. There are even more first-class people who do not do their duty, do a hundred evils, go to the wine shop and spend the night in the country, the mouth is moral and the heart is stealing, harming others and benefiting themselves, they are strange, they don't know how to regret themselves, and they complain that they are not blessed and have no fate, which is to slander the Danjing is all falsehood. The true hell seed, when it is a stranger, ask it to be a human but cannot get it, how dare you look at immortals. Sigh! The virtuous person is the business of his own world; The Taoist, the teacher passed on the matter of becoming an immortal. If you don't accumulate virtue and want to cultivate the Tao, you can't do it, how can you achieve the Immortal Dao, don't think twice

Ruan Xinfang rubbed her eyes, felt that the writing was really good, and continued to read it carefully.

The third thing is to be exhausted

"Hexagram Biography" says: "Exhaust reason, so that you die." "It can be known that the study of life is all based on the principle of right and wrong. If the reason is thorough, the performance is complete, the life can be guaranteed, and it will go straight to the supreme and true place; If you are in a trance, your life will be difficult to repair, your sex will be difficult, and you will eventually regret that you will be disappointed in old age. Today's scholars, confused monks, confused to learn the Tao, confused to practice, since life is confused, how can it be bright and pure when it dies? What is the matter with life, but so vain! The way of Jindan, the way of encompassing heaven and earth, the way of stealing and creation, the supreme and noble, the most divine and the most wonderful, is not easy to know. Scholars don't want to know what their lives are, they don't know what the patriarch's words are, they eat all day long, they have nothing to do, they want to become enlightened, they want to become enlightened, they are wandering and mixed up during the day, and they sleep peacefully at night. Those who falsely claim to have the Tao lead to mistakes with mistakes, and those who hope to come true will lure the blind with blindness. Even if there are one or two people of faith, they are just looking at the flowers, how can they put their minds deep into the truth and reason. The ancients also said that "if you find the true meaning on the paper, there are Da Luo immortals everywhere", which is especially for those who do not seek teachers, and it is useless to say that the Dan Sutra is useless. Later generations do not know the meaning of the ancients, and use this as a evidence, and ignore the scriptures, which is a big mistake. The husband and the fairy are really in the law, and they don't dare to say it in vain, and they hide the meaning in every word, and they don't know how much they have to do with their wives, making a ladder for future generations, and keeping an eye on the sect. And the slander of the anti-slander is still a sin to be spoken! That is, the actions of the later masters and wise men are always within the scope of the ancients, and in fact, they may not be higher than the ancients. If today's masters do not coax scholars, the ancient immortals will not be mistaken and future generations will know. I advise people with lofty ideals to take the words of the ancients, study carefully, seek a decision from the teacher, and after reaching the front, without any doubts, they can hold it, be cautious and self-assured of wisdom, and have no one; and do not listen to the sound of the bang, and let others mislead you; As for scholars who do not understand the written language, they must also distinguish the real meaning in the common sayings. As the saying goes, there is a great avenue hidden, and the special people have not thought deeply. Such as "no dignity", "no human form", "know-how", "so comfortable", "upside down", "follow the circle", "improvisation", "gold panning in the sand", "make something out of nothing", "seven dead and eight alive", "have oneself and no one", "do not know whether to live or die", "disregard for life", "only know oneself, do not know that there are people", "it is better to go to three families than to keep one", "courtesy to others, there will be gains", "only know one, do not know the second", such words are revealed, why not throw out one or two, make an understanding, and think about the scene. Although Dali is not clear, and the knowledge is gradually opened, it is close to the Tao, and the years have not passed. This poor learning, regardless of the virtuous or foolish, everyone can do it, and there is no shortage of hard work, and they will realize it over time. However, those who have realized their own private opinions must not act rashly. If you meet a Master, you must be innocent, insightful, and handy, so that you don't miss anything. If you know the front but don't know the back, you don't know the front after you know the future, you don't know the yin you know the yin, you don't know the yin when you know the yang, you don't know the yin when you know the body, you don't know the use of the body, or you know the action but you don't know the action, or you know the yuan guan but you don't know the medicine, or you know the medicine but you don't know the old and young, or you know the pill but you don't know the pill, or you know the birth but you don't know the rebirth, or you know the cooking but you don't know the martial arts, or you know the martial arts but you don't know the cooking, or you know the yang fire but you don't know the yin charm, or you know the fire but you don't know how to stop, or you know the warmth and nourishment but you don't know how to add it. Not only that, but yin and yang have inside and outside, and the five elements have truth and falsehood. There are two periods of life, two days in succession, there are true and false, there is false in the true, there is the true in the false, there is the true in the false, there is the false in the false. If these organs are not thoroughly investigated, they will not be able to do so; If you can't distinguish clearly, you can't do it. It was because Lu Zu failed to return the pill three times, and then he got Cui Gong's "Into the Medicine Mirror" and started to complete the work; Ziqing was plagued by wind and thunder in the middle of the night, and repeated the practice to get things done. For example, the leader of the immortals, some of them are unknown, and they are still safe, and what about others? Scholars should think twice.

Ruan Xinfang nodded: "You should be decisive, but when you encounter a big event, you should think twice!" ”
