Zhong Liquan said: "Lu Yan, how did you find this girl as an apprentice?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "This child, don't look at her weakness, her heart is really strong, no matter what demons and monsters come to entangle, she has a firm confidence, she can distinguish between good and evil right and wrong at a very young age, no matter who these demons and monsters become, she will not be deceived......"

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Hahaha, you don't need to say this, although she looks weak and cute, but look at her eyes, how firm and intelligent, originally dark and eye-catching, it is a sign of the reincarnation of an elf......"

Xuan Chu said: "Hehe, master, this is praising me!" Hehe......"

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Hehe, not only I praise you, but your master praises you very much!" Hahaha......"

Zhong Liquan said again: "You girl, I really didn't think about it at the time, many people can't tell the difference between true gods and demons, so they are used by demons and monsters, and even do not hesitate to become the host of demons, why didn't you give in?" ”

Xuan Chu smiled: "Hehe, I can't say how smart I am to see through their tricks at a glance, but I always feel that I can't be at the mercy of others, I am just me," my life is in my absence" ......"

Zhong Liquan was surprised: "Oh, the child is really amazing, my life is in my absence, we are familiar with it, this phrase comes from Taoism." Since ancient times, Taoist monks have smelted the golden pill for immortality and refined the inner pill for immortality, all through cultivation to prolong life, trying to change the ending of "fate is determined by heaven". ”

Xuan Chu said: "It's really fake, this sentence is very popular now, could it be that our Taoism originally had it?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "From the perspective of health preservation, through meditation, qi nourishment, food and other methods, health problems have been solved to a certain extent, which is also a major contribution of Taoism to medicine and health preservation. However, today's discussion of "my life is not in my absence" will bypass health factors, or presuppose that "everyone is healthy" to interpret the true meaning of this statement. Although people are the primates of all things, it is difficult to change the number of days no matter how they maintain their health and life. ”

Chu said, "How do you say this? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said: The Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big. That is to say, although man is one of the "four greats", he should also follow the Tao, because "man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature." From this point of view, people will always be bound by the earth, heaven, and the Tao, and if they violate the Tao, they will go against the sky, and they will be punished if they go against the sky. Born between heaven and earth, from the moment of birth, he is conditioned by the earth, heaven, and Tao. People have a destiny, birth, old age, sickness and death, good fortune and misfortune, these are taken for granted. ”

Xuan Chu said: "The fate of nature is unchangeable, why do we Taoism still say that my life is up to me?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are irreversible, so when it comes to people, they must not be born or die, but they can not be sick, this is the content of health preservation, let it be, but the good and bad things are not, and they can be changed through practice." Good and evil are all done by oneself, and good and bad are all decided by oneself. Therefore, how the number of fates depends on oneself, not in heaven. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Hahaha, I'll just say, there is always someone who can decide a part, God can't always do everything, I think I have to fight anyway, otherwise God thinks that you don't fight, what else can I help you......"

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The feng shui family said: "Life is determined by heaven, and luck is man-made." And he said, "Destiny cannot be changed, but fortune can be changed." There is some truth to this. When a person is born, he is born of the essence and blood of his parents, and his soul is born into the womb and has a life. In fact, we don't know what the fate was "before I was born". According to the three generations of Buddhism, "before I was born" is the previous life, and the merits cultivated in the previous life have an impact on this life. Because the events of my past life are confusing and elusive, I prefer to use this life as a starting point to judge my life, so as to be closer to reality. Generally speaking, from birth to adulthood, we consume the blessings of our parents. Therefore, in the teenage years, it is not enough to judge life. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Then what is our destiny when we are children, it is indeed made by heaven......"

Lu Dongbin: "Hehe, indeed, therefore, in the youth, no matter the good or the bad, the miserly, the life and the bad luck are all related to the parents and the family, the family is harmonious, and the parents are not harmonious; If parents dote on them, their children will be sick, and if they have strict family education, they will become talents. At this stage, a person's good fortune and misfortune depend on their parents and family environment, and they do not have to be judged by "how well they have cultivated in their previous lives".

From the time we finished our studies and started working, we were separated from our parents, and we had the idea of destiny. At this time, we are not only influenced by our parents, but this influence will continue. ”

Xuan Chu said, "Then how should we spend this destiny created by heaven at this time? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "At this stage, our mind, intelligence, ability, etc. will determine the future destiny. The nature of the mind, that is, the nature, is manifested in the ability to discern good and evil, good and evil, and will affect a person's words and deeds. Those who are good are in harmony with the way of heaven, so they are blessed; For the wicked, they go against the sky, so they invite trouble. Therefore, whether it is a disaster or a blessing is decided by oneself, and has nothing to do with the sky, and the way of heaven is just a cold bystander and silent. Therefore, there is a saying of "self-inflicted". There are various ways to consume good fortune, such as evil y, false words, unfilial piety, unfilial piety, harming others and benefiting oneself, etc., and the consumption of good fortune is relatively fast. And most people are accumulating good fortune and consuming good fortune at the same time, so it seems that it does not increase or decrease, and it is ordinary. In his life, there are also many auspicious blessings and misfortunes, and it is normal for blessings and disasters to depend on each other. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "And many people's lives are like this, so so is the number of lives." Regrettably, many people have taken this phenomenon for granted, so for them things like doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, they are just listening to them, but they are not willing to practice them. However, man is inherently mortal. In the "Taishang Induction Chapter", it is said: "If you count it out, you will die". Therefore, when a person's good fortune is exhausted, he dies at the end of his life. When a person dies, he will either be blessed or die. The so-called "no misfortune is greater than death", happiness and longevity are all related to life, after death, the body decays, and the soul returns to the multidimensional space. ”

"From a philosophical point of view, with the death of our bodies, our world ceases to exist, because we have all disappeared, so how can we talk about merit? Although I do not fully agree with the philosophical view of death, but as far as the number of lives is concerned, my life is mine, not in the sky, and the amount of blessing lies in the accumulation of daily life, so the real way to avoid evil may be to try to be good rather than evil, so that the "calculation and reduction" are slower, so that death can come as late as possible. ”
