Lu Dongbin thought to himself, this girl is very affectionate in the world, filial piety, and love between brothers and sisters, she is a good child, but she is destined to be lonely when she cultivates immortals!

I don't know if after being a fairy, once she returns to her original position, will she still be as lively and cute as she is now, cheerful and interesting all day long?

Lu Dongbin said: "Although a person who cultivates the Tao can escape the mountains and forests, it is not easy to transcend the world; Although it is possible to believe sincerely, it is not easy to do it, but it is troubled and joyful; Although it is easy to let go of fame and fortune, it is difficult to overcome habits and attachments. All these difficulties and difficulties are precisely the lessons that a monk must face, the barriers that must be crossed. It also embodies the spiritual pursuit of cultivators' painstaking cultivation and transcendent sanctification. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Just be a chic little fairy, why do you want to be extraordinary!" How many saints are there in this world, just a few people who have turned over and over again, everyone wants to become a saint, and they must pay more, I can still think of this......"

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hehe, how can you become an immortal if you don't become an immortal?" ”

Hui Chu said with a smile: "In this human society where consciousness determines action, the reason why we feel troubled, depressed and unhappy most of the time is that we have not learned to respect the laws of nature, and have always made our thinking, opinions, words and deeds move forward along the trajectory of not deliberately, reluctantly, and without complaining, that is, we have not been able to demand ourselves and treat others in accordance with the "harmonious" attitude and method of life. In this way, the "self" thing will come out and take possession of our positive mind, which will influence our practice of morality.

As a result, it is not pleasing to the eye and unfair to look at it, and then a lot of negative thoughts such as complaints, jails, suspicions, extremism, denials and accusations gush out; For a while, the false words and gossip that flaunt and affirm oneself and belittle and slander others will fly everywhere and grab people's ears and eyes; What's more, they are angry and fight with each other, and in the end they end up with a slump and regret. Therefore, going against the original natural nature of things, strengthening oneself too much, blindly pursuing pleasure, not being able to tolerate others in one's heart, and not being open-minded enough to deal with things, etc., are the root of troubles and the source of lack of happiness. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "All things are one, how can you and me come from." The reason why our hearts are floating and restless all day long is because we think too much, are too greedy and can't put it down. We should learn to look at the past, face the present, and look forward to the future with a grateful heart and a calm attitude. There is no need to always think about the past, because the past is past and cannot be returned; In the same way, there is no need to worry about the future all the time, because the future has not yet come, so don't add troubles to yourself; The best choice is to concentrate on doing what you are doing and enjoying what you have now. This is how to keep your mind in a state of silence at all times, so as to stay away from the interference of anxiety, irritability, and mental exhaustion.

Our outward words and deeds often represent our inner realm and level of cultivation. Therefore, we must always keep our thoughts pure and positive in our words and deeds. In this way, it can be like climbing a staircase, one level higher, the higher you go, the higher you stand, the wider your vision, the more you can transcend your mind, and the more you transcend your mood, the more you can forget the acquired me, until my heart dies, the Tao is present, humanity is true, and I am free forever. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Uh, anyway, I don't have such big ideals, is the master going to be disappointed?" ”

Lu Dongbin sighed: "However, it is easy to let go of the ape, and all negative thoughts are easier to drift away and difficult to control. Therefore, in life, our selfish, bad and negative, negative thoughts and thoughts are like viruses, which not only erode ourselves, but also spread and poison others. Therefore, when we have bad thoughts and thoughts, we should immediately pull them back, and then analyze and filter them positively, so that they can be transformed into good and positive thoughts, and put into action, so that we can not only protect ourselves, but also benefit others. Therefore, in the Xuanmen "Homework Sutra", it is said that "people's hearts are scattered, and one thought is innocent"; "Qingjing Sutra" Yiyun "People's hearts are always quiet, and heaven and earth are all returned". It shows that negative thoughts are easy to let go of and habitual, but positive and good thoughts are like a sword of wisdom, which can cut off all fates and return to the true self, so that they can be with heaven and earth and become one with the Great Dao. ”

However, most of the negative, negative and negative emotions, thoughts, and even thoughts come from the narrowness and extremism of our thinking, the rejection and stubbornness of our thinking patterns, and the indifference and selfishness of dealing with others. Once a person has formed such bad thoughts, thinking and behavioral habits, he will consciously or unconsciously use this "self" thoughts, ideas and values as the first mental reaction to look at others, judge others, and respond to others. This kind of bad habitual mental reaction often misleads and hurts others while deceiving oneself. Therefore, whether it is from the level of personal cultivation or from the level of promoting the development of human civilization, such negative thoughts and thinking are harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. Therefore, the Taoist ancestors taught us to be pure in heart and have few desires, and to be tranquil and empty; Be good as water, and only obey the way. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Say nice things, who wouldn't!" If everyone asks for better words like saints, but it is difficult to do, how can we overcome the fear and reluctance in our hearts? ”

Lu Dongbin said: "For cultivators, overcoming such bad thoughts and habits may not be able to quickly reach the state of "pure thought", but as long as we continue to cultivate our loving-kindness, humility and tolerance. Carry forward the spirit of dedication, harmony and benefit; Regularly accepting good thoughts, having more contact with people of the Tao, and doing a wide range of good deeds, you will gradually develop positive, positive, and good habits of thinking and behavior. Over time, our hearts will become more and more peaceful and joyful, and the worries and troubles of the past will be quietly removed. It can be said that peace of mind is peace of mind in the world, and if you want to destroy, God is idle.

In the human society, the journey of monasticism, although the world is strange and ever-changing, as long as we are more understanding and tolerant, less narrow-minded and arbitrary; More love and affirmation, less indifference and rejection; More humility and sincerity, less arrogance and hypocrisy; More dedication and hard work, less greed and taking; More tranquility and tranquility, less desire and glitz. By inspiring and humbly embracing the words and deeds of others with a diluted self-awareness, and facing all sentient beings with a state of mind of "compassion and respect for all", we can eliminate the root of our troubles, find the source of happiness, and enjoy the infinite peace, tranquility and joy within. ”
