Xiao Tianshu thought to himself, this ancestor Lu Dongbin, why does he care so much for himself today, no, he has been very fond of himself since the last time he saw him!

He taught himself Taoist rituals, taught himself to step on the platform, and now he actually taught himself the Taoist theory of yin and yang. It seems that he is probably not an ordinary person, although Lu Zu did not accept himself as an apprentice, but this teaching is probably not the treatment and opportunity that ordinary people can get!

This would have to be cultivated in a previous life for several lifetimes to get such treatment!

Xiao Tianshu thought to himself, why not take this opportunity and quickly ask Lu Zu how to practice! This is a great opportunity! , how many people can't find such a famous teacher to teach even if they go through the world.

Since you have such an opportunity, you can just let this opportunity go by, so isn't it a big fool?

Xiao Tianshu thought that he had heard the senior brother say about the dual cultivation of life, and he still remembered what he said at that time. We often say: "double cultivation of life", why don't we say: "double cultivation of life"? The Master must want you to refine your mind first, and then cultivate the Fa, and the order is reversed, and the consequences are very serious, and in the end, if something goes wrong, maybe your master will flash people, because he can't solve it, so he has to walk away, and then you will be in trouble! ”

The elder brother said, "I have to come back in the next life!" Tai Su met some monks who started with Fa cultivation first, and they had been going around in the realm of Fa for decades, even their masters were like this, and some of them had more than 90 realms, which was really sad! There are very few monks who can really enter and come out of the Fa, and the monks who can jump out are all people with great concentration and great wisdom. ”

As the saying goes: the double cultivation of life, the heart and nature start to follow, the order of cultivation is mysterious, and the sex must be passed on by self-realization.

Xiao Tianshu said: "Master Zu, the disciple wants to ask for advice on the dual cultivation of life, right?" How can we move forward as fast as we can? This is something we need to think about. In our practice, we should use the right treatment. For example, if we have a problem, we have to repent of it, we have to deal with it, we have to deal with it in a way. When we reach a certain point, we should not be too attached to this Fa, that is, the Fa is like this while cultivating, you are more attached to this Fa at the beginning, and as your habits weaken, you should also give up on this Fa while cultivating, so that you can make rapid progress. At different stages of practice, different methods are used. However, the disciple still has doubts, and asks Master Zu for guidance......"

Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Taoism advocates the unity of "sex" and "life", and the Yang Refining God is based on the sky, and the Tao is rushing to lift, which is called the immortal, so it is called Tianzun. Those who cultivate the essence of pure yang are said to have divine energy, and they refine the magic in existence, and the whole body is formless, so there is no death in life, and they are immortals in the sky. Those who cultivate the Yin God are originally on the ground, happy to be extinguished, and are called Buddhas, so they are called Shizun. Those who have cultivated the qi of yin, abandon the soul and god, refine the wonderful existence in nothing, let the silence be fixed, and die as the ghost of yin and cool (Buddha). ……”

Since life refers to human life and sex refers to human spiritual consciousness, it is clear that both aspects are indispensable for human survival, and human existence is actually the unity of life and sex. On the one hand, man must be based on the existence of life, and once there is no life, man becomes a dead corpse, and with it dies; On the other hand, man cannot leave the spiritual consciousness, without which he becomes a pure living being, whose life is at most like that of an animal, and of course he cannot be said to exist as a human being. Moreover, there is a close connection between human life and spiritual consciousness, and they are interdependent, mutually influencing, and interacting with each other, and they are a contradictory unity. In the view of Taoism, as a human being, we must not only have the life expressed by the physical qi, but also the sex expressed by the spiritual consciousness, which is the unity of life and spiritual consciousness, that is, the unity of life and sexuality, just as people not only have form, qi and god, but also the unity of form, qi and god.

Xiao Tianshu said: "Then may I ask Master Zu, the scope of application of the dual cultivation of life?" ”

Lu Dongbin said: "The Taoist theory of dual cultivation of life, in terms of its general principles, can be applied to both Taoist believers and secular people, and can be used in both ancient and modern societies. In a certain sense, non-believers and modern people should pay more attention to the dual cultivation of life, because a considerable number of people in modern society have serious pathologies in both sex and life, and if they are not solved, they will endanger the physical and mental health of human beings. The pathologies of the spiritual life, that is, the spiritual life, are mainly the lack of faith and ideals, the tendency towards utilitarian and practical and short-term behavior, and the increasingly shallow and narrow life. The pathologies of physical life, that is, physiological life, are mainly caused by environmental degradation, bad habits, and excessive enjoyment that cause physiological damage, fragile vitality, and malignant diseases. To solve these problems, it is necessary to rely on the improvement of the environment, and at the same time, it is also necessary to rely on people's subjective cultivation and transformation of the environment. If most people understand and work hard to practice the dual cultivation of life, the process of healthy life and society will be greatly accelerated. ”

The practical significance of dual cultivation of life and life, mental health and physical health are equally important. It is necessary not only to pursue a strong physique, but also to pursue a sound psychological quality, so that both spiritual life and physical life can be vigorously developed, so that we can have a truly happy life. The saying of "The Essence of Life" is: "God does not leave the air, and the spirit does not leave God", "Sex does not leave life, life does not leave sex".

Physiology changes psychology, and psychology changes physiology. The frail and sick first start with the life gong, refine and refine the qi, go to the sick and fitness, and then the mind is stable, refining the qi and transforming the spirit, refining the spirit and returning the void, and improving the spiritual realm. For those who are psychologically fragile or have bad behaviors, they should start with sexual skills, refine themselves to build a foundation, eliminate selfish distractions, adjust their balance, improve the level of pursuit, expand their minds and feelings, and then cooperate with taking medicine and refining qi, and the performance will be well tested. Sexual power and life gong can have different emphases at different times, but they must drive each other and grow together.

The dual cultivation of life should be gradual, from low to high, from shallow to deep. The Neidan family has the saying of "the first pass, the middle pass, and the upper pass", the saying of "gaining the know, refining oneself, harmonizing, obtaining medicine, and getting reborn", and the saying of "first cultivating one's mind, refining and cultivating one's life, and finally smashing the void". Whether it is the purification of the soul, the improvement of the realm, or the adjustment of qi and blood, and the strengthening of the physique, it is not an overnight thing. Of course, there is a gradual pause, which comes naturally and cannot be forced.

Xiao Tianshu listened attentively, and wrote down some key points one by one in the notebook he carried, which was needed from time to time in the future, and could be taken out at any time to take a look......
