Xuan Chu said: "Master, there is something unknown about the master's disciple......

Lu Dongbin smiled: "What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt to say? ”

Xuan Chu said: "Disciple I don't know, why, many precepts are clear, don't eat this, don't eat that, don't talk about those things, let's just say that human life is actually at the top of the food chain, otherwise why would God let us eat these things?" ”

Lu Dongbin smiled: "God makes us eat very few things, and it doesn't mean that you can eat whatever you want......

Xuan Chu said: "I also know that we can eat enough, so much to eat, in fact, it is all a waste, but why does God want to live so high-level, but there are many rules in Taoism?" Isn't it strange to contradict yourself? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "There is a folk story about Zhang and Li, two scholars who were rushing to take the exam, saw a dog on the road, and the dog stretched out its long tongue and coveted because of the heat. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shusheng thought it was infuriating, and beat the dog a few sticks and walked away. Li Shusheng saw that the dog was pitiful, so he made a bucket of well water for the dog to drink. The two arrived at the examination room one after another, and Zhang Shusheng's mind suddenly went blank, and he couldn't answer a word in front of the paper. Li Shusheng was recovering from a serious illness, lacking qi and blood, and dizzy, but as soon as the scroll arrived, he immediately felt that the qi and blood were smooth, his heart was bright and his eyes were bright, and the pen in his hand involuntarily flowed on the paper, which can be described as a wonderful pen. Li Shusheng finally topped the list, while Zhang Shusheng fell to Sun Shan.

Xuan Chu said: "It's nothing to hit a stick, as for such revenge?" Those who eat dog meat are even more disgusting! Why didn't you see death! ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The "Book of Ninja" of the Yuan Dynasty recorded two things: there was a Yang Bao in the Later Han Dynasty, a Hongnong person. When he was 7 years old, he saw a yellow finch in Huayin attacked by an owl and landed on the ground, attracting many ants to surround and suppress it. Yang Bao saw that it was pitiful, rescued it and fed it with yellow flowers for 100 days, and released it after it recovered. The yellow finch goes in the morning and returns in the evening. ”

One night, in a dream, Huang Que turned into a boy in yellow clothes, and repeatedly saluted Yang Bao, saying: "I am the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, and I went to Penglai to be attacked by an eagle, thank you for saving me." Now I accept the dispatch to the South China Sea to bid you farewell. As he spoke, he took out four white rings, "Keep these rings, and your descendants can become the third duke." "The yellow finch flew away, and was never heard from again. Since then, Yang Bao, Yang Zhen, Yang Bing, and Yang Biao have all been officials and three dukes.

Another thing is that there is a person in Chu who has the surname Zhu and the character Yuan Chang. On the way to Qi, he saw a snake in the sand with blood on its head, so he picked up the snake with a stick and put it in the water and left. When he came back, he passed by this place and saw that this snake had a bead in its mouth, and Yuan Chang did not dare to take it. In the evening, when he saw a light outside the door, he pushed the door out, and a snake spat out a pearl that was an inch in diameter.

Chu said, "Uh, that's amazing......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Birds and birds are birds, snakes are ichthyosaurs, and they are rescued and repaid; If they are mutilated, it is natural to retaliate. Although these historical materials cannot be verified, they also show that the ancient Chinese people have long recognized that people's attitudes towards animals and plants are closely related to physical health. Existing scientific methods have not yet been able to explain the relationship between human beings and the spirituality of animals and plants, but thought-provoking things happen in life from time to time. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Taoism believes: "All knowledge, even animals, fruit trees, and stones, have Taoist nature." The relationship between man and nature is the overall relationship of flesh and blood, and all things are evolved from Tao biochemistry, and there is no distinction between high and low. Only by following nature can all things coexist and prosper together, and the world can develop in harmony. Taoist persuasion classic "Taishang Induction Chapter" cloud: "Taishang said: There is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves; The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow. The meaning of this sentence is that there is no way of blessing and misfortune, only people can be brought by themselves. The retribution of good and evil, like the shadow of a man following his own body, is never separated. ”

Ji Chu said: "I was soft-hearted when I was a child, but later I felt that everyone was like this......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "In the "Taishang Induction Chapter", various evil deeds that harm animals are introduced in detail, such as: "Shoot away and drive away, sting and startling, filling holes and covering nests, injuring fetuses and breaking eggs; Defeat the seedlings, cut for no reason, cook and slaughter indecently, set fire to the water, kill the tree with medicine, hunt in the spring moon, kill turtles and snakes for no reason" and so on. And show the consequences of these evils to the people: "If it is a crime, according to its severity, it will be taken away from its count, and if it is exhausted, it will be death." This is a warning to the world not to recklessly harm animals and destroy nature. "Wenchang Emperor Jun Yin Qi Wen" also said: "Ban fire and do not burn mountains and forests, do not climb mountains and net birds, do not poison fish and shrimp near the water", as long as this is the case, heaven will give you blessings. ”

Xuan Chu said: "It seems that we really can't bully living beings, even if we are the spirits of all things......

Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hehe," the merciful person is the root of all goodness. People want to accumulate virtue, not only love others, but also love things, although things are small, they are also life. "The deeds of immortals recorded in Taoist books, no matter how strange and bizarre, are based on compassion and benevolence.

"Unlike many religions, Taoism believes that living in the world is a beautiful thing, and death is painful, so Taoism pursues cultivation to become immortals and live forever," he said. "Guisheng" is one of the most important ideas in Taoist teachings. ”

Zhong Liquan said: "From the emphasis of "Lao Tzu" on rebirth, noble life, self-love and longevity; "Zhuangzi" said that the preservation of life, the whole life, the end of the year, and the respect for life; to the joy and rebirth advocated by the Taiping Sutra; and then in the "Sutra of Saving People", which is regarded as the sect of ten thousand laws and the head of the group scriptures by Taoism, the purpose of "immortal and noble beings, no measure of people" is preached at the beginning of the book. All the Taoist books have always run through the tradition of Guisheng. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "In Taoist theory, gods, people, and all things in the world are the result of the evolution of the Great Dao and "Qi", and they are all essentially homologous. "Taishang Laojun Says Changqing Jingjing" said: "The avenue is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth; The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; The avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time. The reason why there is a difference between gods, mortals, and all things is that the Dao of the universe itself has different properties due to "different temperaments" in the process of creating the universe and deriving all spirits and all things. ”

Hui Chu said: "From this point of view, life is sacred, whether it is the supreme spirit of heaven and earth - human beings, or the birds, beasts, fish and insects all over the mountains, rivers and lakes, their lives are masterpieces of nature, and they are all manifestations of "the great road to virtue". Therefore, noble life is the "supreme virtue" of human beings. "The so-called honorable person is the whole life." Everything that is harmful to life should be stopped, and everything that is beneficial to life should be done. In the view of Taoism, this is the best embodiment of the virtue of Puji salvation possessed by the Dao itself, and it is also the foundation of being a human being and the necessity of cultivating the Tao. ”

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "The Tao is great, it gives birth to all things, but it does not regard all things as its own relatives; It nourishes all things, but does not take them for itself; All things are blessed and benefited by it, but it does not take credit or pride in it. This is the virtue of the Tao and the supreme virtue of mankind. The ultimate goal of Taoist practice is to become one with the Tao, and all cultivation lies in learning the "virtue of the Tao" - selflessly nurturing all things and treating all things equally! ”
