Chapter 711: The Way of Regency

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "In any case, if you want to be leisurely, you still have to live a long life in order to live forever......

Xuan Chu said: "That's right, Master, if you don't have a good kung fu and don't have a good and healthy body, you can't live a long life, it's all in vain!" ”

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Hahaha, it makes sense......"

Chu said: "Isn't our Taoism the most important thing to pay attention to health preservation? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Health preservation is an eternal issue from ancient times to the present. Through the exploration of life and the hope for immortality, people have discovered a variety of health preservation methods such as breathing, guiding, convincing, waidan, and dietary therapy. ”

Xuan Chu was surprised: "Alchemy is also health? ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Isn't the purpose of alchemy to live forever? ”

Chu Chu said, "Ah! Also, isn't it true that after eating alchemy, you aspire to live forever like you have eaten a thousand-year-old ginseng! ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The history of Taoist health preservation can be roughly traced back to the Yellow Emperor asking Yu Guangchengzi. Guangchengzi told the Yellow Emperor: "The extreme of the Tao is faint and silent." Ignore and listen, hold on to your mind, and act to the end. It will be quiet and clear, there will be no form of labor, there will be no shaking of your spirit, but you can live forever. So it officially opened the door to Taoist health preservation. Prior to this, although the ancestors had developed some health preservation methods to stretch the body through dance, they did not form a truly complete health preservation theory and system. “”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The difficulty in maintaining health and taking care of life is not in the promotion of methods and methods, but in how to get rid of bad habits in the state of mind, everything depends on one's own heart (Tao), not in the method (technique). Gai Wen is good at taking the living, and he does not meet the tiger on land, and he does not be a soldier when he joins the army - the fifty chapters of the Tao Te Ching. ”

Xuan Chu said: "The times have developed to this day, and the word health has been invisibly "demonized". Every day, all kinds of health knowledge in the circle of friends collide with each other and negate each other, making people dazzled, and even the whole person not only does not get better in the end, but gets worse. For example, the very popular red bean barley water, this "magic weapon in addition to S" has been brushed all over the circle of friends. Some people say it's easy to use, some people say it's not easy to use, it's all reasonable, and it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood after reading it. In fact, there are many kinds of S gas, and how can a bowl of red bean barley water cure 100 s. Even many elderly people in the family have regarded health preservation as a golden rule, and eating and drinking must be measured by the number of grams. Then I can't help but ask, how can the ancient ancestors live 120 years with such "bad" living habits as "working at sunrise and resting at sunset", "eating when hungry and drinking when thirsty"? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Raising, which is explained as offering in "Shuowen". Health preservation is to maintain our physical body through various means, so as to achieve the purpose of longevity and longevity. In fact, health preservation is a passive embodiment, the body dominates the spirit, and the better the body is maintained, the more delicate it is. Many people are busy just knowing how to take care of their body, but they never know why they do it. Even if he really maintains this body to immortality, it is just "a fool who lives with heaven and earth" in Lu Zu's mouth. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The way of rebirth should first correct its heart, in fact, the most fundamental way of health preservation in Taoism is the way of rebirth. Lao Jun has long put forward the important concept of "good rebirth". Photo: Grasp, grasp your own life. It's like moving as much as you can in life, but you don't move. This is also the embodiment of the Taoist philosophy of "harmony with light and dust, frustration and resolution". In Taoism, it is believed that the gods of man are divided into heavens. Because the infection of the six dusts is only dominated by the god of the day after tomorrow, it is impermanent and full of desires. Eyes are delusional, ears are delusional, nose is smelly, mouth is delusional, body is vain, mind is delusional, so it will never return to the root. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "But if you can achieve the extreme, keep quiet, maintain the pure and peaceful qi, and make the innate god dominate the operation of the body, you will naturally be able to return to the root and live forever." Therefore, the first step in the way of rebirth is to correct one's mind, and if one's mind is not right, no matter how many ways to maintain one's health, it will eventually be useless. Nowadays, health preservation methods, or Taoist health preservation methods, in today's Internet age, can be said to be basically oriented to the public, almost everyone knows it, and almost everyone can learn it. So why is it that now that diseases are rampant, after everyone has learned these health preservation methods, the body has not been able to get a proper improvement? ”

"It's not that people don't know that many living habits are wrong, for example, no one who stays up late doesn't know that it's not good, but how many people change such habits? Even if you use a variety of health regimen methods every day, but you still stay up late every day, isn't that very funny? If there are many people who have to stay up late because of work, then now mobile phones and computers have infiltrated everyone's life, and there are many low-headed people on the street, buses, subways, etc., so what are the consequences - cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, vision loss, no one knows the consequences, but no one corrects them. ”

I usually play games, and when I sit down, it will be a whole day, or even a few days and nights, and there are few reports of similar sudden deaths? Overeating at night, irregular eating, and so on, are too many to repeat. If you don't correct your heart and make up your mind to change these habits, even if you maintain your health every day, what effect can you have? How can we talk about taking control of our own lives? There is no good, bad, right or wrong in these things and things, it all depends on the way people treat them. If it is wrong, it is nothing more than a person being enslaved by a foreign object.

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Health preservation lies in the Tao, not in the arts, and there is another situation, such as drinking and other social entertainment, which is not good for the body, but if you don't participate, you will be "discriminated" and "isolated" by the world. In order to be promoted at work, in order to fit in, and for the sake of their own face, many people have to do these things that they know are harmful. I'm not denying this, but I did have to compromise with life for the sake of family life, for the sake of my parents, and so on. But as a practitioner, detachment is a process of sacrifice, and if you don't let go of the world, why should you talk about being a qualified practitioner? ”

Chu said: "Then what should we do first, is it right?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "To maintain health, you must first correct your own heart, and only after you can really grasp your own life." Health preservation has never been a complicated thing, and it is just a "balance" word. One yin and one yang is the way, walking, sitting and lying, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, as long as it can be kept within a reasonable range. Taoism pays more attention to the connection between man and nature, and communicates with heaven and earth. In another way, Taoist health preservation focuses more on achieving the sublime state of unity between heaven and man through the cultivation of the state of mind and reasonable living methods. Taoist health preservation is also reflected. The Taoist philosophy of doing things and the philosophy of survival, he not only tests whether people can persevere in the method of cultivation, but also pays more attention to whether people can always maintain a quiet and inaction, weak and indisputable state of mind like a baby. The difficulty in maintaining health and taking care of life is not in the promotion of methods and methods, but in how to get rid of bad habits in the state of mind, everything depends on one's own heart (Tao), not on methods (techniques). ”
