Chapter 469: The Five Realms of Reincarnation in Taoism

Xuan Chu thought to himself, usually doesn't it say that Buddhism cultivates the next life, Taoism cultivates this life, Buddhism has six reincarnations, so does Taoism have reincarnation?

Since Master Lu Dongbin is talking about the Yuan Shen now, the Yuan Shen should be what Taoism says. After the primordial spirit enters the human body, it differentiates into our acquired consciousness, and the current consciousness is the acquired consciousness. There are two sides of the same day, both of which are themselves. The primordial god has been reincarnated for countless generations and has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and the acquired consciousness has only been for a few decades. The original spirit carries the memories and inheritance of our generations. Once reincarnated, the acquired consciousness is regenerated, but the memories are all here in the primordial spirit. After the reincarnation of the original god, the acquired consciousness is differentiated, and it gradually falls into a deep sleep. Therefore, when we start to awaken the primordial spirit, we can open up the memories and inheritance of our lives.

If this is the case, then doesn't Taoism also say reincarnation?

Xuan Chu said: "Master, Taoism has no reincarnation, I have heard that some Taoist friends who don't know anything about it also say that Taoism cultivates this life, not to mention the afterlife, there is no reincarnation, but what Master just said about awakening the Yuan Shen is equivalent to opening the memory and inheritance of the past generations, which shows that Taoism also has reincarnation?" ”

The glass doll smiled: "Hey, hey, there is no reincarnation, how can the ancestor find you a mortal as an apprentice, uh, I said I leaked my mouth!" ......" said and quickly covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Xuan Chu said: "I must have had a master-apprentice relationship with me in my previous life, if so, wouldn't Taoism also have reincarnation?" But ah, where did the Taoist people go when they die? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "When we ask about this, we have to talk about Taoism's own reincarnation system. Taoism believes that people should cultivate their nature and keep the Tao, be quiet and have few desires, otherwise they will be confused and have desires and confuse their true nature. If you can't return to the roots, you will be one with the Tao, and your gods will enter the five paths. According to the "Taishang Laojun Void Nature Sutra": one person, God goes to heaven for the two realms of heaven (Shinto), God enters the flesh and bones, the form is the human god (humanitarian) three paths, the god enters the beast, the beast god (animal way) four paths, the god enters the five realms, the god enters the mud, and the mud is the name of hell. There is also the Taoist Six Bridges: the so-called six bridges refer to the golden bridge, silver bridge, jade bridge, stone bridge, wooden bridge, and bamboo bridge. ”

As soon as Chu heard this, he became energetic and excited: "Master, what are these bridges all for?" Who can walk these bridges? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "I know that you are curious about this, the first way is the golden bridge: for people who have practiced immortal law, Taoism, and Buddhism when they were alive, and have accumulated a lot of merits, in order to ascend to immortality or enlightenment." The second is the silver bridge: for those who accumulate merit and good fruits in the world and benefit the society, they can become gods of the earth who hold priesthoods, such as land, etc., and enjoy the incense of the world. The third is the Jade Bridge: for those who have accumulated merit in the world, they will be reincarnated as powerful people and enjoy wealth and glory. The fourth is the stone bridge: for those who have made mixed achievements in the world, they can join the common people and enjoy the blessings of being well-off. The fifth is the wooden bridge: for those who have lived too much in the world to pass by, and to devote themselves to the poor, sick, and lonely and widowed. The sixth is the bamboo bridge: for people who hurt nature and reason, and are full of evil, they are divided into four forms: one is the womb, such as cows, dogs, pigs, etc.; the second is eggs, such as snakes, chickens, etc.; the third is lice, that is, fish, crabs, shrimps, etc.; Fourth, such as mosquitoes, flies, ants, etc. Its meaning is to propagate that those who do good will become gods, and those who do evil will go to hell, and persuade people to abandon evil and follow good. ”

Taoism is the inherent religion of China, aiming to worship the way of heaven, the Tao of the religion, to educate people, has a long history, although since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, then open the Tao of the vertical system, inherit the past and the future, the system of thousands of generations, the change of all things, the source of poverty began from Xihuang, set the great result in Lao Tzu, the Tao is respected and noble, and the benefits are helpful to people. The avenue begins from the infinite and has no beginning, perpendicular to the Taiji Taiyi, from one life to two, two to three, from the three to nurture all things, endlessly, the wonder of nature, yin and yang are virtuous, nothing is done and nothing is done, nothing is born and nothing is born, nothing is there and nothing is nothing, the mystery of creation, one with the sky, one with the void, for the realm of the whole truth, to purify the world, sanctify the world as the ultimate purpose.

Xuan Chu said: "Since there is reincarnation, the five realms of reincarnation, but after the death of Buddhism, there is the king of the earth and the Bodhisattva Pudu sentient beings, then our Taoists are all immortals, who will go to hell to purify sentient beings?" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hahaha, how could it not be, and it has a lot to do with you!" Therefore, in the Taoist Sanguan Induction Sutra, there is a world of eternal happiness in the East Pole Heavenly Realm Relief Door, only heaven and no hell, this relief ground is a good place to practice, which can make people out of hell, avoid the four lives and six reincarnation of life and death, forever away from suffering, go to the heavens, superborn pure land, immeasurable happiness, go and come without hindrance, this is what my Taoism said about the Oriental Pure Land of Changle, the East Wonderful Yan Palace. ”

Hui Chu said: "It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that there is a Pure Land of Bliss in all ten directions, and Buddhism is a religion of Western Gengxin Jin, with special emphasis on the Western Blissful World. So where is our Taoist Elysium? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "My Taoism belongs to the Eastern Jiayi Wood Sect, so I especially emphasize the Eastern Pure Land of Eternal Bliss. Colways: [Sunrise in the east, sunset in the west.] Therefore, the Pure Land Method of Eternal Life in the East is the best way to seek spiritual sustenance in the world, and it is also the best way to seek spiritual sustenance for the soul after the age of 100. Many foreign teachers and our Taoist people do not have an in-depth understanding of Taoism, saying that most of our Taoist beliefs only seek the actual religion of the protection of the world, and the believers have no place for their souls after the age of 100, because they do not know that our Taoism has a Pure Land method that is convenient to induce, and this method is recorded in detail in our Taoist Taoist scriptures. ”

The glass doll smiled: "Hey, hey, I'll also say a few words, now the industrial society is a lot of people's lives are tense and busy, and it is very difficult to take a lot of time to practice, especially if you want to cultivate to the Daluo Heavenly Immortal and become an immortal, it is not easy to talk about it." However, life is 100 years old, and it will pass in a flash, and once the soul passes away, it will go to the four lives and six reincarnations with karma, wandering life and death. Buddhism is thriving today because it has a convenient Western Pure Land method of bliss, which can lead to sentient beings. ”

Lu Dongbin said: "Then the heaven that can save people is with God, my Taoism in the three senses of the Miao Sutra, and Taiyi to save the suffering and protect the body, that is, there is a record, I am the East Pole Changle Realm to save the suffering, that is, I Taoism Pure Land, the cultivation of this method is the Taiyi (B) method, there is practice in the world, this Taiyi method, there is faith in Taiyi, miss Taiyi, once a hundred years old, then the sense of Taoism, and then was led to the East Miaoyan Palace, by the lotus incarnation, with the lotus as the parents, with the lotus as the body, you can practice there again, with the nine-color lotus seat to set the grade, From the lower grade to the middle grade, the upper grade, and then close to the level of the fruit of the Great Luo Heavenly Immortals. ”
