Xuan Chu said: "Cultivating immortals, what else is there to do?" Is it okay to just read a book? ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Cultivating the Dao, only when people are calmed can the realm of the Tao appear!" ”

Xuan Chu: "What do you think is so difficult to cultivate, if you don't have chance, it's harder than being a person, if you have chance, it's easier than anything......"

The young man in white said with a smile: "When it comes to being a man, it is not easy to be a man now, but this life is also not easy to come by, so he said, "It's too late to start repairing the Jews." ”

Xuan Chu said: "But what should I do if the cultivation of the elderly exceeds this hexagram? Not old enough to practice......"

The fairy in red said: "I have to double my efforts." There is hardly a single Taoist who does not understand medicine, and there is no one who does not understand military affairs, they all understand! You want to cultivate the Tao, in the concept of Zhuangzi is called "heart soldiers", which is a dispute between heaven and human desire. People's desires are very great, and only when this desire is purified can they embark on the path of Taoism. Therefore, when cultivating the Tao and doing work, there is a confrontation in the heart, and the conflict between heaven and human desires can only appear when people want to be peaceful, and the so-called heavenly principles and the realm of the Tao can appear. ”

Hui Chu said: "My friends often say that we have some wrong emotions and thoughts, which are not completely psychological, but physiological changes that limit people. ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "So the Taoist method is different from the Buddhism, the first step is to change the physiology, that is, to start from physics and turn you around." Some tantras also follow this route when talking about qi and veins, first changing the physical temperament of the flesh and blood, and then it is very easy to meditate. ”

Hui Chu said, "What kind of way does a physicist get? The way of Confucianism and Mencius is that "people's desires are pure, and heavenly principles are popular", and delusions and miscellaneous thoughts are calm and purified, and the realm of Tao is reached. ”

The fairy in red: "The realm of the unity of heaven and man is that when people's desires are purified, heavenly principles can be popular." Physicists also use Taoist methods to meditate, and from the quiet to the hands of people, you can achieve the realm of "people are pure, and heavenly principles are popular". However, they are not cross-legged, and meditation is to sit upright, which is the Confucian way of sitting. ”

"In the past, when we were young, there was a teacher at home to teach, and when we went to look for a teacher, we saw the teacher sitting there, and everyone didn't dare to move. Why? ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Because the teacher is in the meditation, not the old monk, they are meditating, and they also set the time every day." How, then, can "man's desire to be pure" be achieved? ”

The fairy in red said: "The physicist talks about changing temperament, and this changing temperament is also taken out from Taoism. Temperament is the actual thing of this physical life......"

Chu Chu said, "How do you make it over?" ”

The fairy in red said: "The so-called true cultivation of Taoism is to cultivate until you are reborn, and your entire body is transformed, which is also a change in temperament. Taoism makes a unit at the age of seven, and here I will tell you to understand the children's health care of Chinese medicine. To nurture a child's physical health, the age of seven to eight is a stage. Twenty-seventy-four to sixteen, the so-called troubled era of teenagers, we should also pay attention to this stage of physical changes. Women are the number of seven, and men are the number of eight, so we say: you are a person of seven or seven and eight and you are a mess...... They are all concepts of mathematics and physics in the Book of Changes. ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "No, no, no, because the third and fourth hexagrams are the most difficult to do, this is from the internal hexagram to the external hexagram; Messy means that seven can't be messy, eight can't be messy, and seven-seven-eighty-eight is described as messy. Therefore, these sayings and sayings have a lot of philosophical truths in them. The concept of maintenance for both men and women can be reduced from seven years to seven days, and then to seven hours, that is, fourteen hours, or even every seven seconds. We also know in modern medicine that most of a person's body has new cells in seven years. In the twelfth year, there is nothing that has not been changed from the inside out. We are sitting here today, and if we are still sitting here in 12 years, are you or are you not you? I often say that cultivating the Tao and studying Buddhism is a science, and you must first understand the theory before you can start cultivating. ”

Hui Chu said: "There are many people who think that this monastic work is just a matter of meditation, so why should they understand those theories! Not understanding theories is called blind cultivation, is blind cultivation useful? ”

The fairy in red said: "Of course, it is also useful, but it is equivalent to maintaining a machine, you use it a little less, often anoint it, often wrap it up, and you can drag it out a little longer before it is bad." But that's not called monasticism!"

Xuan Chu said: "What is it called demon cultivation? ”

The fairy in red said: "Hehe......"

The young man in white smiled: "Demon cultivation can also live a long life!" ”

Xuan Chu said: "As long as you live a long life, it is always very attractive!" ”

The fairy in red said: "Therefore, Zhuangzi often says "Chitose", "Wanshi", says big trees, big fish and big gourds, big peng birds, etc., his intention is to put the present in the infinite flow of time, to put the present world in the background of the vast and infinite space, and to overcome the stubbornness of attachment under the "greatness" beyond the here and now. From persistence to broadness, from utilitarianism to transcendence, in Zhuangzi is from dream to enlightenment. He used the mouth of Confucius to say that Meng Suncai was "special awakening", and asked Confucius to say that he and Yan Hui were both "those who have not yet realized their dreams", which is to show the subtlety of enlightenment by contrasting ugliness and enlightenment. ”

Hui Chu said: "Because of the lofty and broad orientation, the finitude of the present/present world can be transcended, and the attitude of transcending the present blurs the reality of reality, making the real reality in experience become mysterious, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the dream that was originally thought to be mysterious. ”

The fairy in red said: "These characteristics make the dream telling method of "Zhuangzi" not only derive idioms such as "life is like a dream", but also give birth to virtual dream stories such as Huangliang Dream and Nanke Dream to express a Zhuangzi-style attitude towards life. ”

Chu Chu said: "If the devil is to cure the disease, is it okay to save people?" ”

The young man in white said with a smile: "Such as "praying for sunshine and rain to help the world, curing diseases and driving away evil spirits and saving sentient beings" and other incredible Taoism. The government and the opposition admire, the merits are immeasurable, and the disciples are all over the place. Therefore, the Zhengyi method was expounded, and Taoism revitalized the world. At the time of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the patriarch Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen School based on the theory of the integration of the three religions, and still followed the tenet of "sexuality" and "life" dual cultivation. Subsequently, the immortal who ascended to the truth was invincible, and he got Zhongxing. ”

The fairy in red said: "Heaven and earth are combined, in order to drop nectar", the nectar here refers to a small drizzle, so it is called nectar, which is the combination of heaven and earth, yin and yang, in order to rain and moisten all things. "Knowing and saying usual, knowing often saying Ming, and benefiting life and saying auspicious". All kinds of beings in the universe are born in the rationality of "harmony", so "harmony" is the only true way in nature. It has the most vitality, so it is called "constant". ”
