Chapter 603: Goblins don't become Buddhas
Nian Fu smiled and said, "Oh, you said that we Chinese are vassals and elegant, and even becoming a monk is so elegant and affectionate." I don't know, I thought it was a new way of life to enjoy the body, mind and soul! ”
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, in fact, cultivation is originally about cultivating the mind, isn't it just to find a kind of healthy health of body, mind and soul?" ”
Nian Fu said: "Oh, that's really the case, in fact, I sometimes think that faith is actually just a comforting thing, when people feel that they have no home, loneliness, and no sense of belonging." It plays a great sense of belonging, and it makes people feel very relieved, at least they feel that such a small human being in this world still has a final place to go......"
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, that's right......"
Nian Fu said: "When the time comes, I don't know what the lyrics of those Journey to the West are called, dare to ask, where is the road?" Actually, where did we go from, where did we come from, what did these words mean, and now I finally understand, in fact, that they are asking for human beings, that when most of us live to a certain extent, or when there are very few precocious people, he will think, where did we come from......"
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Hehe, that's what it means, it seems that we are all precocious babies, and we have long thought about these philosophical questions about where people will come from and where they are going." ”
Nian Fu said: "Yes, every time those goblins change the peasants, or the king's ministers, when they see Tang Seng, they will always ask, where do you come from?" Where are you going? Tang Seng's answer is also very good, the poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and wanted to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures......"
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "Well, this question and answer belong to this kind of answerer, where to go......
Nian Fu said: "It's a pity that the author is a bit biased towards Buddhism, saying that the people who fight goblins are all Taoist disciples, such as monkeys, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng are actually Taoists." The monk has no ability at all, and he has to listen to the monk in the end, isn't this obviously killing people with a pen and favoring Buddhism......"
Xiao Tianshu smiled: "I actually had such an idea before, I think why this monkey can't turn out the palm of the Buddha's hand, he didn't do anything, this story is fiction, purely to elevate the image of the Buddha, in the end you said that our monkey has such a high ability to kill, this Zhu Bajie is so powerful, and finally accompanied a monk who doesn't know anything, just say that he is kind and kind, and finally walked around and took the true scriptures and came back with more gold, and a group of goblins became Buddhas." Isn't it trying to tell people that if this goblin wants to have a way out, he has to cultivate Buddha? It's a pity that the goblins all want to be human. In the end, he still changed into an adult, that is, he was a merry and happy person. But I haven't seen a goblin to become a Buddha......"
Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hahaha, Brother Xiao, it is reasonable to hit the nail on the head, I have always had this idea, at the beginning when I was a child, I was always confused by the TV series, and finally taught us Chinese how kind ah, wait until the Japanese devil comes to learn to live, anyway, you can solve the problem by eating, how is this possible, some things can not solve the problem with goodness." This is also the relationship between yin and yang. ”
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, what you said is reasonable, our Taoism realizes itself through thinking, thinking, and thinking, which is also the embodiment of Taoist piety." When on duty at the temple, it is necessary to politely receive pilgrims and tourists, answer their doubts, publicize Taoist culture, and guide religious believers to lead a normal and orderly religious life. Therefore, the temple duty is an important window to test the cultural accomplishment of the "Taoist priest on duty" and display the Taoist culture. Taoist priests have realized the Tao in their lives, lived a natural, simple, and peaceful spiritual life, and enriched their spiritual world while adhering to religious practice. It is precisely this spirit that enables the fine tradition of Taoism to be inherited, and to keep pace with the times and develop healthily. ”
Nian Fu said: "Well, I think my personal opinion is that cultivation is our long-standing culture, and a lot of Zen is not copied from our Taoist ideology and culture." ”
Xiao Tianshu said: "Cultivating the Tao and refining pills, there is empirical evidence every step of the way. For example, starting with Buddhism, no matter the way of Buddhism, it is nothing more than two skills. Jinggong includes meditation sitting and lying exercises; There are pile work, practice work, and pile work has static pile and moving pile. The two functions of movement and staticness are indispensable, covering one yin and one yang is the way, static work produces yin, and dynamic power produces yang; When the spirit is still, the spirit is refined, and when the spirit is moving, the Dan book says that yin and yang are reversed, which is the meaning. However, the cultivation of the Great Dan must start with pure yang, which is the only way for the immortals. Lao Jun said: There is a mixture, born congenitally, lonely, independent, and unchanging, and can be the mother of the world; I don't know its name, the word is called the Tao, and I am strong for the name of the big ...... The Buddha said, "Reality has no appearance, subtle method", the so-called non-appearance, is not something that can be described by the world; The so-called reality, that is, as Lao Tzu said, "there are things mixed together, born from nature and earth", are all things that are truly realized. The enlightenment of the Buddha is the same thing – the innate dharma image. Therefore, cultivation is the cultivation of innateness. Yin and Yang are also innate Yin and Yang, not acquired Yin and Yang, otherwise the man will find a woman, and the woman will find a man. "Look at the moon-shaped single look at each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal", the mandarin duck is still the mandarin duck, and the birth is a mortal fetus, not a baby. Yuan Infant, the product of innate yin and yang, can only be transcendent in sainthood when this thing is cultivated. ”
Nian Fu smiled and said, "Hahaha, Yuanying is this thing?" It's also a cultivated Dan, do you know what I think when you hear this word? I always felt like it was a spirit now, and I thought it was, a strange baby spirit! ”
Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, most of them are made up, the innate yin and yang produce a spiritual root, and this spiritual root is not only in the metaphysical level, but also in the human body." That is, the heel, the life of the human body can be in the heel. The book says that babies move their feet first when they move, because the human body can live in the feet. When you start to heat up in your right heel before you open the pile, congratulations, it's rooted. When you meditate, your feet start to get hot. There are many cultivators outside, and their dantian fever at every turn, which is not yet enlightened. If the spiritual root does not stand, how can Qi return to the yuan? For example, if you plant a tree and the roots do not grow, even if you apply 100 quintals of fertilizer, it is futile and wastes fertilizer. If a cultivator does not have this spiritual root, those who do not have a wife will be angry for a long time, the solitary sun will leak out, and they will be dizzy and unable to sleep. Those who have a wife, once they vent, their vitality is exhausted, their essence is exhausted, and they are slumped. In the long run, the body will get worse and worse, which is one of the reasons why many cultivators' bodies are not as good as ordinary people. If you have this spiritual root, you will naturally absorb and store your own essence, even if you vent it, it will not be completely exhausted, as long as you are abstinent, there is often a surplus, and over time, it can also turn weak into strong and grow naturally. The spiritual root is conceived and flowed out, and the spiritual cultivation is born. This is one. ”
