Chapter 763: Return to Eternity
Zhong Liquan smiled: "Hehe, the apprentice grandson has grown into ......"
Hui Chu said: "The Qingjing Sutra allows us to be quiet and do nothing, but Taoist practice often advocates retreat, and the Quanzhen sect also has a monk, but after returning to seclusion or becoming a monk, does it really disregard the foundation of loyalty and filial piety in the world?" ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The answer is obviously not what you imagined, cultivators, loyalty, filial piety and honesty are the first priority." ”
Chu said with a smile: "Yes, I also think that loyalty and filial piety are important moral principles in China's traditional society, and they are the core content of Confucian ethics. Integrity is the foundation of life. ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "From the very beginning of the establishment of the Order, Taoism has attached great importance to these moral principles and absorbed them into the precepts. The most basic precept given by Master Zhang Daoling to the Taoist is "honesty and non-fraud". The "Taiping Sutra" says: "In the affairs of the world, filial piety and loyalty are great." “
Chu Chu said, "Ah! Zhang Tianshi, the immortal who entered the WTO, although the five buckets of rice Dao sound a bit of the market, but after all, people also have to eat, what he said about the world, loyal ministers and faithful, I think it is very real......"
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The Zhengyi French Heavenly Master Teaching Precepts Sutra says: "If you can say as you want: loyalty, filial piety, husband, womanhood, brotherhood, brotherhood, and obedience, if there is no two hearts in it, you can do good and plant the people." He also emphasized that "the teacher must not be disrespectful, the relatives must not be unfilial, and the king must not be disloyal,...... Righteousness is indispensable. “
Ge Hong said in his "Inner Chapter of Hug Puzi": "Those who want to seek immortals should be based on loyalty and filial piety and shun benevolence. "The Ten Precepts of the First True Truth of the Emperor Xuhuang Tianzun" emphasized: Ten thousand volumes of immortal scriptures, loyalty and filial piety first. It can be seen from this that the basic principles of social morality such as loyalty, filial piety, and honesty are highly valued in Taoism. Emphasizing loyalty and filial piety is a necessary condition for becoming an immortal. ”
"From the perspective of social ethics, these basic norms that Taoism attaches importance to are consistent with the requirements of Confucianism, and mainly reflect the moral requirements of Confucianism, that is, secular society. However, due to the difference between Taoism and Confucianism's fundamental interests, its emphasis on maintaining social ethics is the need for enlightenment and cultivation in the WTO, and is to lay the foundation for ascending to immortality and living in the world. ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The so-called "Qi Tong Benevolence" is to raise the humanistic and moral love of the secular society to the realm of great mercy and great love, that is, "no killing, no jealousy, no jealousy, no stealing, no greed, no hatred, no jealousy, no words, no evil voices, all the same love, and different bones to marry." Specifically, it is pointed out in the "Induction Chapter": do not deceive the dark room, do not follow the evil path; Compassion for the fierce, joy for the goodness; Helping people in need, saving people's danger; Do not do any evil, but do all good; There are gods three feet above the head; If it is the way, it will advance, and if it is not the way, it will retreat. What is emphasized is to be honest, tolerant to others, indifferent to fame and fortune.
In the Tao Te Ching, it was said: "The hall is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it." It is necessary to "humble its heart, strengthen its belly, weaken its will, and strengthen its bones". Therefore, the "Thoughts and Notes" pointed out: Immortals and Taoists are different from laymen. What is different is not the basic social moral code, but the pursuit of fame and fortune by secular people, and the immortal Taoist priests should take the benevolence and love of the great road as the essence of their practice, understand that fame, fortune and goods are all things outside the body, and life cannot be burdened by external things, so that they should abandon the reins of fame and fortune, and take morality as their business, so that life can reach the realm of harmony with the Tao, and benefit the harmony between people's hearts, society and nature. ”
Xuan Chu said: "This is the best place to teach people to cultivate immortals, if everyone is an immortal, Tu Qingjing, who will be responsible, by the way, what is the difference between Taoism and Taoism?" ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Talk about Taoism and Taoism, and resolve the contrast and misunderstanding in your understanding!" There are still many people in today's society about the relationship between Taoism and Taoism, there is often a contrast and misunderstanding in understanding, there is a lot of confusion about the internal origin and the composition of the composition, and the two are always deliberately distinguished, from which most of them think that Taoism is ideological and academic, and Taoism is religion, but those who hold this view make Jing Dan disagree, and Yu thinks that Taoism and Taoism in history are actually one body in the final analysis, and cannot be separated. Just as the relationship between the human mind and the body can be asked separately? ”
Xuan Chu smiled: "Hehe, as a Taoist priest, your disciple and grandson are also so unclear about Taoism and Taoism!" Hehe......"
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Hahaha, Taoism, Taoism, the result is the supreme way of all things in the universe." At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, when Lao Tzu founded the Taoist school, there were already primitive Taoisms and sects in the world that were engaged in witchcraft and magic techniques to ask for immortals, such as the ancient Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, Qi Bo, Peng Zu and other ancient gods, and later Fang Xiandao, such as Song Wuji, Zheng Boqiao, Zou Yan and other scholars, to talk about the unity of heaven and man. ”
Chu said: "According to this, Taoism is still from Taoism? There's nothing to distinguish between that! ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Longing for the art of immortality, and the Taoist masters Laozi, Yinzi, Liezi, Zhuangzi and other thoughts and speeches, all of them can be traced back to the ancient river Luo Zhouyi's gods and heavenly books, immortals immortal and elegant, it can be said that the establishment of Taoism is conceived on the basis of primitive Taoism." Later, since the founding of Taoism by the Heavenly Master of the Han Dynasty, its doctrine and theory were based on the ideological theory of Taoism. ”
Chu Chu said, "And then? ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "During this period, Huang Lao Dao is a crucial sectarian group that connects Taoism and connects the two, such as the "Tao Te Ching River Seal Sentence" and "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" are also important works of Taoism when Taoist thought turned to Taoism, so the relationship between Taoism and Taoism itself is integrated into one and cannot be separated.
The origin of the two is not water without a source, a tree without roots. Therefore, the relationship between Taoism and Taoism, from a certain point of view, can be considered that Taoism inherits the original nutrients of ancient Taoism, and Taoism is a continuation of Taoism itself, and the combination of the two constitutes an extremely perfect result. ”
Xuan Chu said: "Just like a Tai Chi Yin and Yang, there is Yang in Yin and Yin in Yang. Mixing and blending cannot be separated. Today's academic forum only talks about Taoism, but to a certain extent, ignores the inherent and existential role of Taoism, and the Taoism it says has lost its original Taoist elements. ”
Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Well, the long river of history, the convergence of hundreds of rivers always returns to the sea, Taoism is like a long river of history." Then the fairy arts, sectarian doctrines, five elements gossip, feng shui medicine, etc., etc., are just like the pure wisdom of the water, in the years of history, they are finally returned to the long river of Taoism, injected into the ocean of the avenue, endless, to return to eternity. ”
