Chapter 745: Being born as a human being, cultivating immortals also has the responsibility

Xuan Chu said: "Master, since Yin De cultivates in the next life, Yang De cultivates in this life. Yin virtue extends the cultivation of descendants and future generations, and the fame of Yang virtue in this life cancels out the good fortune, so can I understand that this yin is a long time of cultivation, but Yang virtue is only temporary? It's short-lived! ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Hehe, the son can be taught, and the apprentice has practiced a lot today......"

Xuan Chu said: "The Taoists in the public's impression are all images of people who do not eat fireworks in the world with fluttering clothes and retreat into immortals. With the revival of Taoist culture and the increasing pressure of work and life in contemporary society, more and more people have begun to yearn for a life of seclusion and independence in the world. It is mentioned in the Taoist scriptures that the world is a society with five tones and bitterness, and if people are immersed in it for a long time, they will lose their own nature, so that they can only sink in the river of desire, and it is difficult to find a way to transcend difficulties and life and death. As a result, the image of the Taoist gods and the attitude of the cultivators who are indifferent to the world have become the yearning of many Hongchen beings. ”

"What does Master think about this?"

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "However, cultivation is not an escape from the red world, nor is it an image piled up with objects such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, etc. Many people think that leisure is limited to drinking a cup of tea in the complicated life, wearing Han clothes in a suit and leather shoes, and eating a little wild vegetables in between fish and meat. ”

Chu said: "Yes, yes, many people just enjoy this by themselves, a leisurely life is far from enough, but also in the circle of friends, a few elegant poems, looking at the praise given by people who know or don't know, can gradually find a sense of satisfaction in their hearts." When did our originally quiet and natural heart begin to be trapped by the external sense of form? True cultivation never cares about the taste of the mouth and the feelings of the people around you. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "It's not that we don't cherish these, but everyone has a different position and perception, we can never ask the public to have the same pursuit, and there is no need to base our self-appreciation and satisfaction on whether others agree with it." From the perspective of WTO accession, the Taoist spirit of WTO accession is also aimed at enabling more people to find stability and knowledge in the rolling red dust. ”

Hui Chu said: "Whether it is the pseudo-delicacy of taking pictures and posting to the circle of friends, or holding the enthusiasm of helping the world, the important thing is that you can first find the joy of peace and contentment in such a lifestyle." Whether others approve or disapprove will not change your original intention. Being able to shake hands and make peace with one's desires, irritability, attachments, and separation is what the practice really does. When the heart is filled with peace, everything in the world will be filled with joy and beauty. Because practice is not outside the world, but in the daily life of life. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "If you understand the above point, you will naturally understand what direction the Taoist should work towards for the cultivation of truth." Although Taoism is well-known for its rebirth and retreat, if there is no worldly law, where should it come from? Birth is based on WTO accession, and only by doing a good job in the human law can we further talk about cultivating the truth. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Master, a lot of people say that they have cultivated immortals, but they don't see through the red dust, and they ran away from home again, right?" He put aside his social responsibilities and a privilege as a human being, is it to be born proud is to abandon his family, irresponsible, and to be called a cultivator of immortals......"

Lu Dongbin: "Since ancient times, there have been no disloyal and unfilial immortals in the world. What Taoism advocates is that people should always be able to maintain a peaceful and peaceful heart when facing all kinds of trivial matters in the red world, not only shoulder the responsibilities that should be born, but also not have too many delusions and desires. For everything you get comes from the cause you have sown; Everything you expect depends on whether you put in the effort or not.

Even if the immortals are free as an example, the immortals in Taoism have never simply isolated the world, but used their greatest ability to seek the well-being of the people when they were alive. ”

Chu Chu smiled: "Ah! Master said well, I don't think it means that you can abandon your responsibilities if you see through the red dust, you are born as a human being, you have to exercise the rights and responsibilities of people, take care of your relatives and family, and then cultivate immortal ......."

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "What the disciple said is right, if everyone goes to the mountains to hide and cultivate, then how can the family be responsible?" The real immortal cultivator is like Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, not only to take care of his family, but also to take care of the responsibility of human life in the world! ”

"On the other hand, many people who are full of desire for seclusion in the world, on the one hand, complain about all kinds of sufferings in real life, and on the other hand, they are unwilling to make efforts to change the current predicament, which will cause contradictions in their bodies and minds. The entanglement between being unable to ask for something and not being able to leave is the real suffering of life. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Nanhua Zhenren Zhuangzi once put forward a very important concept, called "Xinzhai", that is, the heart is not stained with dust. Just as our bodies become deaf after eating all kinds of food for a long time, people's hearts are originally pure, but they are always giving rise to all kinds of delusions, and eventually lose their true nature. The so-called heart fast is to fast the mind so that it forgets many desires. To forget is to lose one's heart. There is a saying in Taoism that "the heart of the mind dies, the heart of the Tao is born", which means that only by making the delusional mind die, can we begin to view the world with the mind of the Tao. At that time, you will be able to realize that you will be as free as a bird above the nine heavens, and you will not just limit your tranquility to the treatment of tangible things. ”

Xuan Chu smiled: "The fake and exquisite cultivation is only the beginning; When you see with the heart of the Tao and see that everything in the world is the same, that there is no self and no other, then why should you have possession, sorrow, and suffering? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Hahaha, the apprentice is indeed worthy of being my apprentice, he has a good understanding in his thoughts, and in time, he will be able to re-enter the immortal class!" ”

Xuan Chu smiled: "Thank you Master for the compliment...... Hehe......"

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Oh? Hehe, why are you talking so politely today, and talking to Master so politely, I really can't imagine it, isn't there something you have to do today? Or is there something wrong with Master? ”

Xuan Chu smiled: "Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel as if I have resonated with talking to the master about these things, and I suddenly feel that I think it is good, and I am very happy that everything has been confirmed, and I have a feeling of finding a confidant!" ”
