The real person who carried the water quietly returned to Wudang Mountain.

Over the years, he has been on Wudang Mountain, unknown. In fact, not many people know his identity, because his master, that is, Zhuxian Daojun, in order to sharpen his violent temper when he was young. Let him carry water in a small Taoist temple for so many years.

Familiar Taoist temples, familiar buckets.

The real person who carried the water smiled slightly, then picked up the flat pole and went to pick up a few jars of water. At the end of the day, carrying water is also for spiritual practice. Xie Baoshu They have a low realm, and they usually fight and kill. At the point of carrying water to the point of being a real person, true cultivation requires mental cultivation.

When he was young, he had a short temper and provoked the Five Thunder Daojun.

Shizun punished him to carry water here, in fact, to protect him. This truth was not understood by the real person who carried the water when he was young, but now he understands it. It's a pity that over the years, Shizun has been blocking himself, and he rarely meets a few times.

The so-called meditation is to let yourself not move to kill thoughts. There are really a lot of meditation methods in the Daomen, and the real people who carry water are always on the way to carry water, silently reciting these mantras.

The wind comes through the books, and the tea moves the tongue and tongue. Amber glazed, cinnabar ceramic pot. The autumn spring is lonely, and the mountains are high and the bamboo is bitterly cold. Come to the pine and cypress, and meet friends. The road is muddy and muddy, and the sound is quiet. The name is colorless, and the Tao is self-profound. Send off the guests to return to the red dust, and stay in the clouds and green eaves. The most is the heart, turned into a golden immortal view.

Listen to this scripture with a straight mind. Concentrate and listen to this scripture. Stop the troubles, get rid of the foolishness, and read this sutra more. True freedom, in it. The real avenue, in it. Those who can grasp its essence can overlook the scriptures. Those who can play repeatedly can be at ease.

Just as the real person carrying the water finished picking the last load of water, a head poked out from the crack in the door.

Chubby is Xiao Haotian.

Haotian, Haotian also.

This little junior brother has a lot of background, and the real person who carries the water stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, come over and let the senior brother see if he has lost a little weight recently." Also, how are you practicing the Dao Method? ”

Xiao Haotian knew the temper of this senior brother, so he naturally came over and was very close.

In fact, on Wudang Mountain, the two senior brothers are good to Xiao Haotian. But Xiao Haotian is still closer to this real person who carries water, and the two of them sit by the water tank together. Xiao Haotian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, do you really want to go to the Two Realms Mountain?"

The real person who carried the water nodded.

Xiao Haotian said: "But in this case, senior brother, you may be in danger, and the Daomen will also be unhappy." ”

This is true, Daomen is waiting for the Great Wall to be built. This time. If he was a real person carrying water and standing on the Great Wall, how could the monks of that sect like him? Not to mention that he was a traitor, he was already very face-saving.

The real person who carried the water thought about this, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you can practice well, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of senior brother." Senior brother is such a high Taoist, are you still afraid that those people will not succeed?"

That's the reason.

In Xiao Haotian's heart, his senior brother has always been very capable of fighting.

The real person who carried the water smiled: "Small."

Senior brother, your senior brother and I are on Wudang Mountain, and after practicing for so many years, it is time to go out for a walk. Otherwise, if you stay in this place all the time, you will be suffocated to death, and you will just go to the Two Realms Mountain to kill demons. ”

Xiao Haotian nodded thoughtfully, and he asked again: "Senior brother, over the years, he has just been carrying water every day, what are you practicing?"

Since Xiao Haotian remembers, he has known his two senior brothers. Senior Brother Hefeng, in addition to dealing with people and things every day, he will practice. On Wudang Mountain, facing the rising sun, I began to box, breathing and breathing.

In his opinion, this is the real practice.

Carrying water is a real person, staying in this narrow Taoist temple every day, carrying water, is it also a practice?

The real person who carried the water smiled slightly, just right, taking this opportunity to tell the little junior brother about the things in cultivation, he took a branch and wrote three words on the sand of the Taoist temple.

Confucian righteousness, Taoist meditation, Buddhism.

Xiao Haotian didn't understand, so he could only wait for his senior brother to explain.

The real person who carried the water first pointed to the Buddhist Mingxin and said: The "heart" of "Ming" is compassion, ordinary mind, empty mind, and meditation, that is, the original heart of people, so it is called "clear mind." "Outsiders" refer to people who are superior to others, people with high wisdom, and people who are extraordinary. Do they have a Dharma? They also have a "Dharma," and they need to have some basis. However, there is no "law", and "there is no definite law", that is, there is no fixed law. ”。

Xiao Haotian nodded and said, "Senior brother, I understand this a little, the last time Senior Brother Hefeng took me to the temple, I saw a couplet. ”

Unexpectedly, Hefeng would take the little junior brother to the temple, and the real person who carried the water asked, "What couplet?"

Xiao Haotian held his fat face, slowly recalled, and said: "There is no law for outsiders, and then there is no law for outsiders, and then they know that there is no law, and the world is still unresolved, so why not do it." ”

The real person who picked up the water thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Good couplet, understand the nature of the world, understand your own heart, then you won't be entangled, you can deal with all kinds of life very smartly, and your cultivation will be improved." The little junior brother can come up with this couplet, which means that you have Huigen. ”

Smiled a little embarrassedly, Xiao Haotian said: "At that time, I watched that the couplet was very long, so I looked at it casually. ”

The real person who carried the water didn't care, picked up the branch, and pointed to the side of the "Taoist meditation." ”

In the Taoist scriptures, it is believed that the most brilliant is to "go to the void and keep quiet", that is, to return to the state of silence, so the "heart" of Taoist "quiet" is a kind of quiet heart and natural heart. This "nature" does not mean nature, this "nature" is nature, which refers to the original appearance of human beings, who are not hypocritical or pretentious, who live in peace with nature, society, and others, and whose body and mind are also in harmony with each other, and who do not compete with themselves. Therefore, Taoism talks about "meditating the mind" and cultivating a quiet mind. ”

Xiao Haotian waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, I understand this, the Taoist scriptures are not read in vain. ”

The real person who carried the water smiled slightly, pointing to the last "Confucian righteousness." ”

"Confucianism

In many books, it is said: "The way of the university lies in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." This is called the "Three Programs," and in the final analysis, it is necessary to "stop at the highest perfection." We must keep the most true and greatest good thoughts in human nature. Then gradually unfold, know and then have a certainty, set and then be quiet, quiet and then be safe, then be safe and then be able to worry, and then be able to get. ”

"After stopping at perfection, concentration, stillness, peace, and consideration, then one can be at peace. According to the Confucian regulations, there are the "eight items": Gewu, Zhizhi, Sincerity, Righteousness, Self-cultivation, Family, Governance, and Peace. Therefore, the "heart" of Confucian "righteousness" is actually the heart of benevolence. ”

Xiao Haotian asked again: "Senior brother, I understand this Buddhism, but Confucianism is only a primary school, what qualifications do you have to pay so much attention to it?"

The real person who carried the water glared at him and said, "The school is small, but the truth is not small. ”

Suddenly, Xiao Haotian didn't dare to squeak anymore.

The real person who carried the water looked at him and said: "You don't understand these truths now, but don't underestimate Confucianism." Now that the Tang Dynasty is developed, there are many academies, which are opened in Kyushu. Confucianism may soon pull down the Demon Domain and become one of the five elements. At that time, do you still think it's a small sect?"

When Xiao Haotian heard it, it was really like this.

In recent years, the speed of the rise of Confucianism is simply not too fast.

Carrying the water real person smiled: "Back to what I want to talk about, the three teachings just said, the cultivation heart is different, and the avenue is naturally different, you can tell me, what is the way of our Daomen." ”

Knowing that his senior brother was testing himself, Xiao Haotian thought about it carefully and replied: "The Tao Jing begins with the words: "The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, the name is famous, the very famous. The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things. "Man is the way, and the way is nature." "Dao" is the core of the Daomen cosmology, and "Dao Law and Nature" is the foundation of the Daojun cosmology. ”

Sometimes it means that the Tao is a material entity, and sometimes it means that the Tao is the law of movement and change in the material world. The material attributes and operating laws of the "Dao" of the Daomen belong to the category of nature, so the nature of the "Dao" of the Daoist philosophical system is nature. The meaning of the Tao of the Tao is to preserve the diversity of the Tao at the same time. He also regards the Tao as the highest reality that produces and determines all things in the world, "the Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things."

The real person who carried the water nodded, very satisfied with the performance of this little junior brother.

Xiao Haotian did not stop, and continued: "The Tao cannot be heard, but it is not heard, the Tao is not seen, it is not seen, the Tao is not seen, the Tao is not spoken, and the words are not also! The form is not visible! The Tao is not named." "Fu Zhaozhao was born in the underworld, Youlun was born in the formless, the spirit was born in the Tao, the form was born in the essence, and all things were born in the form. "The visible comes from the formless Tao, which means that the formless implies all the form, otherwise it cannot be the source of all the tangible. ”

The real person who carried the water was very surprised and said: "Little junior brother, it is really impressive to identify for three days." ”

If it weren't for his cultivation being high enough, the real people who carried the water would be a little suspicious that their little junior brother was taken away by a demon. want

I know that in the past, my little junior brother hated reading the Taoist scriptures the most,

Speaking of it now, how can you not be surprised that your head is the Tao?

Xiao Haotian looked at his senior brother and said, "Senior brother, my cultivation is not bad, and I also want to go to the Two Realms Mountain." ”

The real person who carried the water was silent for a while, it turned out that his little junior brother was going to the Two Realms Mountain. He shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, you can't go to the Two Realms Mountain for the time being, unless you have one day, the Great Dao is cultivated. When the time comes, don't talk about the Two Realms Mountain, even if the demon clan abandons the normal realm, you can also go there!"

Xiao Haotian knew the result, he just mentioned it, and when he saw his senior brother like this, he continued: "Tao Wuwei: "Covering all things", it is not intentional, but inaction. Although everything is in order and seems to be fit for purpose, it is not consciously arranged, but the result of the "self-transformation" of things. Those who are quiet and indifferent are the foundation of all things. The foundation of all things is the Tao, and inaction is the emptiness, tranquility, tranquility and indifference.

"The Tao seems to be nothing, but this nothingness contains the greatest being, all things are not the Tao, the Tao seems to be silent, but it contains all the movements and changes, the Tao does not have any desires, but has everything. Therefore, all things are reasonable, and the Tao is not selfish, so it is nameless. There is no name so nothing to do, nothing to do and nothing to do. ”

The real person who carried the water smiled slightly and said, "Little junior brother, your insight into the Tao is even higher than mine. ”

Xiao Haotian stood up and said, "Where is it, Senior Brother is the most powerful." ”
