Abandon the world,

Xuan Chu said: "The Chinese civilization has been continuous for 5,000 years, and it is all the ancestors who have strong yin virtues, so they can live endlessly. The simple belief and concept of God in the Chinese are more important. ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "When people do good, they have the support of the gods, and when they do evil, they can be sensed by hell." Yin virtue things, persuade people to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, in good deeds, Taoism is very detailed. ”

Yi Chu said: "It's like the persuasion of the classics of goodness, which is more suitable for the Chinese's concept of yin and virtue." I have no regrets in this life to enter China, as a descendant of China, as a Chinese I am proud ......"

The young man in white was puzzled: "Zi Chen, what year is it now?" Is it still the Yin Shang period? ”

Yi Chu sneered and laughed: "Hehe, the beauty you think about has passed for 3,000 years, can it still exist in the Yin Shang period?" ”

The young man in white smiled: "Hehe, so that's ......"

The fairy in red said: "It's not easy to cultivate immortals for three thousand years!" ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Hehe, it's not easy to cultivate immortals, it's easy to become immortals......"

"It looks simple, but it's hard to actually do. When people have selfish intentions, they are born with desires, and they want to live a lifetime, and they are easy to infringe on others. It is easy to mislead others, and even satisfy one's own desires by harming the interests of others. Among the yin virtues, including the release of life, is also a piece of yin virtue. But if you take money from the people and want to eliminate the disaster by releasing people, it is useless. Nowadays, there are many disasters for people, because the economy is developed and the technology is convenient, which leads to the rapid development of man-made bad karma. Therefore, there is also a lot of karma in money. ”

The young man in white smiled: "You should be very cautious. Those who have less money will also have fewer diseases. Now that the material is developed, the state has done a good job of building bridges and paving roads, and there are no more people who lack food and clothing. Now there is a lack of pure heart, so we should cultivate purity, eat more vegetarian food, and have good thoughts. Persuading people to consume less and caring for mountains and rivers is the great virtue. ”

Xuan Chu said: "A true cultivator should be the more he cultivates, the smoother he becomes!" Why, on the other hand, people often ask me, "The more you practice, the more tribulations and the greater the resistance?" ”

The white-clothed young man smiled, "Actually, if this really happens, either you haven't really started your cultivation, or there is a deviation in your cultivation. ”

The fairy in red said: "Generally speaking, it is normal to encounter hardships during the cultivation process, and it is natural to encounter resistance. ”

Chu Chu smiled: "What is the situation? ”

The white-clothed young man said with a smile: "However, if you have been practicing for a long time, not only has your life not improved, but also encountered obstacles everywhere, career discord, family discord, relatives and friends are not harmonious, and various physical conditions have occurred, then you really need to stop and think about it seriously." ”

The fairy in red said: "It stands to reason that after cultivation, it should become more and more smooth before it is normal, if it is not smooth, either it is not a good way, or it is not diligent enough." ”

"Many people ask them if they haven't taken refuge, so they haven't apprenticed to a teacher, and they haven't entered the Taoist temple, so that's why this happens? ”

The white-clothed young man smiled and said, "Hehe, Princess Zichen, this is a bad word, cultivation is not a proper noun for religious people. ”

Xuan Chu was surprised: "Isn't that so?" ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Since ancient times, Confucianism has always advocated "cultivating Qi and ruling peace", and the root lies in self-cultivation. Therefore, as long as words and deeds are related to improving one's own condition, they can be called spiritual practice.

From this point of view, the practice of being more religious and philosophical is just a little more religious and philosophical wisdom to guide the practice, and it is actually no different from doing things seriously every day and doing one's duty. ”

Xuan Chu said: "It's just that, in the eyes of today's people, when it comes to cultivation, it always makes people shy away. The logic of many people is that taking refuge in religious practice is very high, at least on the surface, as if the soul of the practitioner is nobler. Is that really the case? ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Actually, not necessarily, because any form of cultivation must be implemented, and it is related to oil, salt, firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea. ”

Xuan Chu: "In this way, real cultivation can't stay in words, let alone use it as a gimmick, because gimmicks are gimmicks after all, and they can't make people truly noble, and converting to religion may not be able to become immortals and become enlightened.

From this point of view, true practice is to use the wisdom of religion to guide life, serve life, integrate into life, and finally sublimate into the worldly model, use words to educate fate, and set an example with virtue, which is the immeasurable merit. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Qiu Zu's westward journey was to persuade Genghis Khan to save all living beings in the Central Plains from suffering, which is a kind of fearless spirit. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Yucheng, and the Zen master broke the meat ring in order to save sentient beings, which was also a fearless spirit of sacrifice. It is this spirit that future generations need to learn, so that the practice can be effective. ”

Fairy in Red: "The monks in the Taoist temple have renounced the worldly world, obeyed the three refuges and five precepts, and regulated themselves with strict precepts, so the longer they cultivate, the more they can stay away from worldly disputes, and then there is no danger of good luck and misfortune." However, the practice in the red dust is different, and it is impossible to demand oneself with the set of precepts of the temple and Taoism, so when it varies from person to person and from thing to thing, there is no need to stick to the form, but the cultivation of the mind is fundamental. ”

"I have a friend who studies Buddhism, and I often hear her say that she recites three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and performs 1,080 prayers, and has non-stop morning, noon and evening classes, every day, and even more on weekends.

I asked her how long it would take to finish the rituals, and she said it would take about six hours.

Then I asked her, "What are you going to do with your job?"

She said, "Because of the need for spiritual practice, I quit my job and concentrated on practicing at home.

I asked: So what is your source of income?

She said: It turns out that her husband earns money to support him, and now he has just divorced, so he relies on fellow practitioners to donate some merits, but it doesn't matter, enduring hardships is also a kind of practice.

She's optimistic.

I've never commented on her way of practice, maybe it's their way of doing it.

Hui Chu said: "In daily life, we often meet similar practitioners, which can not be described as unreligious, but after practicing for a long time, the wives are separated, the six relatives are not in harmony, and the interpersonal relationship is very poor, and then they are regarded as different. ”

The young man in white smiled: "If you get to such a situation, you may have gone off track." Practitioners should be easy-going, because they have many mentors and friends because they are easy-going; Practitioners should follow fate, and because of piety, they form a lot of good karma; Practitioners should let go, let go of what should be put down, and then not be attached to what they have, nor to be attached to what they have not obtained; Practitioners should be compassionate, because compassion can be tempered by karma, and tempered by karma can accumulate merit, and merit is good fortune. ”
