Chapter 578: What is enlightenment?

Nian Fu said: "You said that we said this, the exercises of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao, or things, all belong to metaphysics and mysteries and are inaccessible, and they have never been, and ordinary mortals who have heard of them are even more difficult to hear!" Do you think there is a way to cultivate the path that is a little more down-to-earth? After listening to it, everyone felt that it was easier to accept, and many people felt that it was too mysterious, so they might give up! ”

Xiao Tianshu said with a smile: "Hehe, how can there be such a simple thing on the street, if everyone understands it, then all the people have cultivated immortals and attained the Tao, who will work and who will do the annoyance, and besides, all the people can imagine it, if they become immortals, wouldn't the position of Heavenly Court be crowded and there is nowhere to stay!" ”

Nian Fu said: "Hehe, if it should be compared with the earth, it should be bigger than the earth, so many stars and universes combined, isn't it as good as a small earth?" You should be able to live with so many people, right? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "But if you can live, won't everyone be the same after they go together, and besides, do all people have such a job, can they become immortals?" The fairy is too boring, just like an alien. ”

Nian Fu said: "Then it's still different from what you say like this, and it's still a little different from mortals, so it's to maintain the mystery of the immortals, so you made it look like this, right?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Hehe, what you said, how can it be to maintain a sense of mystery? The main reason is that everyone has never seen people, or they feel that they have not seen things, they feel particularly mysterious, which things that are commonplace for everyone, will feel mysterious! ”

Nian Fu smiled: "Hehe, then my thinking is a little narrow, sometimes I think a little too much, hahahaha......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "Cultivators are far more than passively accepting "anger", and cultivators can "open their minds". Developing the tricks and tricks of human beings is equivalent to installing a "signal amplifier", which can not only receive the "vitality" of the sky and the "earth" of the earth, but also the "popularity" of people. ”

Nian Fu said with a smile: "It turns out that what we usually talk about is enlightenment, in cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao, the word invented above is called enlightenment, how to open the enlightenment when cultivating the Tao?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "To cultivate the Tao, you must learn to "open your mind". All cultivation is nothing more than cultivating the word "quiet", and the mind is quiet. But what is the method of meditation? The method of meditation is enlightenment, that is, learning to enlightenment. But the matter of "enlightenment", the ancients called it "a thousand saints do not pass on". Why not pass it on? In the past, it was said to avoid passing on to "non-humans", who of course did not refer to ghosts or animals, but to people with poor moral cultivation. ”

Nian Fu smiled: "So the statement is not lightly spread? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Well, so you should be careful to pass it on, so as not to pass it on to people with bad intentions. But from the experience of my life, people have a problem, that is, "cheap is not good, good is not cheap", not to be mysterious, grand, people feel that "cheap is not good", but not to take it seriously. On the other hand, how can the ancients claim to be themselves, but they are really so noble, so they "treasure themselves" and have a strict door? I don't think that's necessarily the case now. I'm old, I don't care, as long as everyone is willing to learn, I have nothing to hide and tuck. If you really want to cultivate the Tao, you must first open your mind. To open the know-how, we must "use the trick", this trick is a secret, and ordinary people do not pass it on, it is called "fake ten thousand books, and really pass on one sentence". The ancients said, "Give me ten taels of gold, and don't pass on a mouthful of meaning." The trick is a method of using "meaning", why doesn't he pass it on? for he will pass it on to the virtuous. What about monasticism? If you want to be enlightened, you have to know the secret. In fact, most of the recipes are only a few words, and they are very simple. The road is simple, very easy, easy to get started, difficult to persevere, and the secret itself is not secret at all. There are countless places in human beings that accept the natural "vitality" of the universe, as well as the "popularity" of social beings. For example, wherever the bones are connected, they can accept the "vitality" of the heavens, that is, the joints can receive the "vitality" of the heavens. Simple, right? Simplicity, that's the secret. ”

Nian Fu said: "What is the function of enlightenment? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "These tricks in our body not only have the function of receiving, but also have the function of emitting, that is, they can also emit "qi". There is an old lady surnamed Yang who has a good practice, if she is alive, she will be nearly 100 years old this year, and she can even use her fart to do her work, and she can do it with her feet. This kung fu is deep, and the so-called human body is everywhere. However, we should pay special attention to the fact that the points commonly used in the path of cultivation are not the same as the acupuncture points in meridians. If it is the same, there is no such thing as "fake ten thousand books, true one sentence", don't you just practice according to the books? No, you will not succeed in reading books and cultivating the Tao. So there's a pretty big difference between the two, make no mistake. Acupuncture points are small power stations in the meridians of the human body, and the acupuncture points of the human body are equivalent to biological power stations, which are generated in the acupuncture points and then run along the meridians, affecting all aspects of the human body's biochemical reactions. It runs for a certain period of time, about fifty-two revolutions per day and night. Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, the good conductor of electricity - metal needles for acupuncture, the reason is here. Most of the key to enlightenment is related to the body's hormone-producing glands. Generally speaking, there are nine points that we commonly use in our cultivation, and these nine points are not acupuncture points, they are mostly related to the hormones in the human body and the glands where the hormones are located. For example, the four tricks here are concentrated in the head, which is mainly "angry". These four tricks: one is the "top trick"; Then there is "Yiqiao", also known as "Shangdantian"; The third one is called "Jade Pillow Trick", also known as "Divine Trick" - pay attention, it's not a jade pillow point; There is another one, called the general trick, which is a very important trick, also called "mud pills". This is the "mud pill palace" mentioned in some Taoist books, which is actually the human pituitary gland, which controls our endocrine and can automatically adjust the functions of our body. As far as the secretion of hormones in the human body is concerned, it is equivalent to the center, it is as big as peanuts, but it has a great effect, so this is also called "general know-how". ”

Nian Fu said: "What are these four tips for? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "Hehehe, there is always a use for it!" These four tips are connected to "weather", or "angry". As we mentioned earlier, we are always receiving the "vitality" of the celestial bodies in the universe, and heaven and man are one, and heaven and man are inducing each other. Human beings are inseparable from the "vitality" of celestial bodies. Whether or not you can enter the monastic hall depends on whether you can receive the "life" of heaven in large quantities and efficiently. Only by opening these tips will you be able to receive a large amount of heavenly vitality. ”
