Xuan Chu smiled: "Then master, let me ask you another question, you said that I have been practicing for a long time, and I haven't seen any improvement, and there has been no improvement, if it weren't for the coincidence this time, I ate a thousand-year-old ginseng at once, I'm afraid I won't be able to soar......"

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Why hasn't the practice improved?" It's the first step of cultivation, and the kung fu is not done well! ”

Xuan Chu smiled: "Then what is the first step of kung fu?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The first step in practicing, "clear mind" ......"

Chu said, "What is sex? ”

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Sex is the innate heart. The ontological form of existence of the mind is the qi of nothingness. Therefore, emptiness is the only characteristic of the mind. Since people have a physical life, they are usually constrained by acquired temperament, blinded by acquired nature, and entangled by acquired love. Qi is governed by the heart, and essence is used by God. If the mind cannot be quiet, like a fierce horse galloping, like a restless ape, the essence and qi will be exhausted. This is the reason why people who study Dangong attach great importance to concentrating on pranayama at the beginning. ”

Xuan Chu was puzzled: "Concentrating? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Because, if the gods are not condensed, they will be scattered, and if they are scattered, distracting thoughts will continue to arise, how can they reunite together and become the commander of alchemy?" Therefore, only when the spirit is highly concentrated and reunited can we reach the state of emptiness. The emptiness of our hearts is the nature of our original nature; The void of the natural space outside of us is the nothingness of all things before they were born. If you can't adjust your breath, you will indulge, and indulgence will cause your organs and skin to run by an impatient breath formed by irregular mouth and nose breathing. It's very difficult to make it cohesive and become the energy and power that makes our lives. It can only be smoothed if it is regulated, and it can be neutralized if it is smooth. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The neutralization of our human body is a law that is naturally given after our human body begins to arise. Because it is commanding, it is called life. The so-called life, its form is still too harmonious. Taihe and the qi of nothingness are the same thing. Before human beings were born, this void qi hung between heaven and earth, spreading all over the universe, and it can be said to be the original destiny of all things in heaven and earth. For people, it is true nature and true life. True life is united with heaven, earth, people, and things, and is inseparable. If a cultivator wants to make himself an immortal, he naturally can't do without this true nature. If you want to return life to its origin, in order to achieve the state of yin and yang deification, you don't need to seek any other way, just concentrate on it and make it even, but don't forget that you don't pay much attention to it in the process, just let it be natural and unhurried. In this way, the mind and breath will enter the most empty and quiet realm together. This kind of vanity is not a contrived emptiness. The imaginary void is only a hypothetical imaginary emptiness, and the real emptiness is the natural emptiness. ”

Xuan Chu said: "False is false, and there is still truth and falsehood? ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "(Note: If you want to achieve true emptiness, in addition to concentrating and pranayama, there is also a method of adjusting the shape, so that the body is upright and as stable as a balance.) With these three tones, it is possible to achieve true emptiness. Without the cooperation of the body, it is impossible to achieve true emptiness. Don't say that it is true and false, even if you concentrate and breathe, you can't do it well. Just imagine, if the body is not good, the body is not right, and the shape is not loose, the body will be uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Then, it is difficult to concentrate on the mind, and it is difficult to regulate the breath. Even if you can get nothing, it must be a fantasy of nothingness, falling into a stubborn emptiness, and it is rare to find a vacuum. Entering the void of nature, all heaven and earth, characters, ghosts and gods can be penetrated. Although it is said to be virtual, the pure and harmonious atmosphere of heaven and earth is naturally similar, and virtual can be real. (Note: Emptiness and reality here refer to the essence of divine energy, not to tangible matter.) Emptiness refers to the ontological characteristics of the divine energy, which actually means that its capacity exists and is everywhere. The reason why people are able to participate in the functions of heaven and earth through successful cultivation and help the transformation and cultivation of all things, among which is infinitely varied and unpredictable, is that this divine void can be invested in the empty qi. This is the so-called reality in the void. In this way, the body and mind will naturally form a strong and righteous image and a feeling of purity and refinement inside and outside. In this way, we can see the truth, and the truth of what we see can be the truth. ”

Xuan Chu said, "Master, what do you say? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "I talked about the kung fu of seeing sex earlier, so what is the kung fu of knowing the heart?" The heart is only empty and the spirit is clear. If the mind can be clear, all truths can be both, and the evolutionary nature of all things is also well understood. This clear and flawless mind, when it is not moving, is vast, chaotic, ignorant, has no thoughts about the inside and outside, and feels bright and penetrating, and the universe is extremely extreme. But it has a lively numerology contained in it, which can summarize and reflect the vitality of Vientiane. If you can achieve this effect, you will have the method of clear mind. The purpose of knowing the mind is to see the sexuality. Therefore, clear mind is the means, and seeing is the effect. This means, with a mantra, is called "still and still". However, sex is flexible, and flexible comes movement. Therefore, there is also a mantra for its effect, which is called "feeling and passing". Feeling and passing is a natural phenomenon of the mind's tranquility and vividness. The heart is quiet and extremely empty, and the summoning sense is similar. As soon as the vitality is thrown, the stillness is extremely vivid, and it is communicated with the feeling. This kind of pass is the real supernatural power, when it meets the circle, it is round, it is square, lively and free, and there is no obstacle, like a dragon as unpredictable. The predecessors said that the mind "is the original spirit, and the movement is the true meaning". It can be seen that God and Mind refer to the same thing, but they are expressed by God and Mind respectively in the relationship between movement and stillness. I also heard the ancients say: "The heart has no sex and has no master, and sex has no heart and no dependence." This is to say that the mind is the manifestation of sexuality, and sex is the master of the mind. From this, we can see that the reason why the role of the mind is so vast and wonderful is that it is all due to the power of sexual content. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Therefore, if you understand the true heart of a person, you also understand the true nature." But sex is a thing that hovers in the vast space of the universe when people are not yet born, and it is the vitality. When the human body is formed, it is the primordial spirit of life, and its important characteristic is that it is void but not existent. (Note: Void but not have: Void, containing the meaning of emptiness and neutralization; No, it contains the meaning of not taking something as it is. Learners need to first put this innate mind in a calm and lively way, not thinking that there is something, but to blend it into the vast nature of the void, wandering on the reckless void, so that they can ambush the fire and water in the body, and steal the Yuanyang of the world to the outside. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Hahaha, listen to it, over time, the gods are self-condensed, and the breath is evenly adjusted, and the only thing that can be felt is that a little natural divine breath in the dantian is popular inside and outside, and there is no barrier between people and the external universe, and they become one." ”
