Xuan Chu said: "Master, Master, you said that many people do not believe in God, what should you do when you want to prove it?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "God has existed forever, is objective, and does not change due to people's belief or unbelief. That is, you believe that He is there, and you do not believe that He is still there. ”

Chu said, "Then how are we going to worship God?" Many people don't believe it, so it's not respectful to go to the temple, what will happen? ”

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Always have a respectful heart......"

Chu Chu said, "What is the heart of respect? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "After we enter the main hall, we generally don't take pictures of the statue, not because he is a cultural relic or that flash or too much carbon dioxide will make the statue fall off, it has nothing to do with these, and it has nothing to do with its age, but because we believe that there are gods, and we are not allowed to take pictures because we have a basic respect for the gods." Not to mention, I went to take a picture with him. We must worship the patriarch and worship the gods with a respectful heart, a repentant heart, and a humble heart. ”

Xuan Chu said: "There are indeed many people, going to our Lingzhou High Temple, is to take pictures......

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "In the early days of Taoism, there were no statues, it was just a rank, and a Tianzun holy name was written, and we used it for thought." Later, it evolved into such a tangible, visible, and admirable statue. Whether it is made of clay or jade or wood, it contains a kind of reverence for the gods in this moment. That is to say, the external appearance is only a tool for education, for the convenience of sentient beings, for the sake of saving people, and it is a part of the entire Taoist way of education. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "When you have a god in your heart, this education will work, and the god in your heart will naturally communicate with you." Whether you can sense the gods or not is only a thought. If this thought is felt, it will respond, and if this thought is not felt, there will be no response. But God does not exist or do not exist because of man's belief or disbelief. God is eternal and eternal, an objective that does not change by human belief or unbelief. That is, you believe He is there, and you don't believe He is still there. What changes between belief and unbelief is induction, when you believe, you feel it, you can get it, you don't feel it, but God's object is objectivity. This is one of the reasons why we can't take pictures in the main hall and take pictures with the statues. ”

Xuan Chu said: "A lot of people are getting these idols everywhere in the car now, is it okay?" ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Now this statue is more proliferated, not only in the hall, many of our pendants, but also some handicrafts, including some magazines, books may have statues, usually these statues, as long as they see it, they must have a respectful heart, they can't be defiled, they can't be thrown into the garbage can, they can't be folded or stepped on at will." When I was making these prints, and when I was making some crafts, the first thing I had to think about was what people would do with the statue after I made this. As much as possible, with a humble heart, a respectful heart, and do not create karma for yourself or sentient beings. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The mandala is a beacon, under special circumstances, such as conspiring with Tianzun, in order to expound the avenue, get the permission of the temple master, and even the invitation of the temple master, we have to make a propaganda brochure." ”

"We are going to record a video, and we are going to introduce the history of this temple and the merits of the statue to the believers. In such a situation, we can go to take pictures and videos. But it is better for the people who have filmed before to pay homage and kowtow to make such a ins and outs clear to the gods. It is believed that the gods will forgive the sins of disrespect. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Out of a need for Hongdao, in order to benefit the surrounding people, I will say such a heart. Whether you say it silently to the gods in your heart or say it out loud, the gods do not depend on whether you say loud or small, whether you have or not, just in a thought. For your own convenience, you can choose whichever way you prefer. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "But we must respect the gods, we must believe that there are gods, after all, this is the home of the gods, the place where the gods come and go, the public gathers because of such a belief, and countless cultivators from the past and past are here to stick to such a place, maintain such an mandala, and everyone is because of such a light in the vast universe, and use their lives to maintain it one after another." Therefore, such a religious atmosphere cannot be destroyed by its religious attributes. This is what we should pay attention to. ”

Hui Chu said: "Since ancient times, medicine has not been separated, and many ancestors and sages of Taoism, such as Tao Hongjing and Sun Simiao, are all masters in health preservation. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Although the purpose of Taoist health preservation is to cultivate Taoism, the group to which the health culture is applicable is not limited to Taoist practitioners, and it itself contains many simple and easy-to-implement health preservation theories and methods suitable for modern people, which is worth digging deep and bringing good news to modern people's physical recuperation." More importantly, Taoism's health preservation is to take into account both form and spirit, and at the same time pay attention to spiritual and psychological recuperation while maintaining the human body: on the one hand, it looks at "life and death, poverty and wealth, virtue and dishonor" with an open-minded attitude; On the other hand, it requires people to "refrain from all evil, pursue all good, accumulate merit, and be kind to things." Such an attitude and behavior can relieve people of a lot of unnecessary psychological pressure and stay away from mental distress. The rich health wisdom left by the ancestors and sages of Taoism, diligent practice, can also nourish the form and spirit, so that people can be at peace and healthy. ”

Chu Chu smiled: "Life and death and longevity have always been opposites......

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Death is the most normal phenomenon in nature, but it means end and destruction for individual life. Death, and where the soul goes after death, is a question that every religion has to explain, and Taoism is no exception. Zhuangzi believes that "the life of man is also the gathering of qi." If you gather, you will live, and if you scatter, you will die". Those who cultivate immortality and feather immortals naturally enjoy the emperor's hometown and are married to the immortals; For those who have not attained the path of cultivation or have not cultivated the Tao, they can also be gradually promoted to the immortal class according to their good deeds and merits in the world; Among them, "the most loyal and filial piety people, all of them are underground masters, and one hundred and forty years are to teach the immortals and give them the avenue." ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Hehe, the immortal road is noble, and the ghost road is noble; The fairy road is often auspicious, and the ghost road is often self-murderous. "In the face of life and death, with a detached mentality, diligent practice, and outstanding good deeds, it is the enlightenment given to us by the sages of Taoism to make individual lives follow the path. Grass and trees in autumn, life seems to be sent, cherish the present, grasp this life, I hope that there are no regrets in this life, and the years are quiet. ”
