Chapter 403: Rokjia Fetal Path
The Book of Tao says: "The law of the five shades is made by the five constants, the four majors, and the six families." ”
The "Five Constants" are the "Five Elements", that is, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the "Four Greats" are earth, water, fire, and wind, which are the elements that come from foreign lands.
Therefore, the "Five Elements" and the "Four Elements" have been successfully integrated through the "Liujia".
Among them, the main bones of Jiayin, the main teeth of Jiashen, the main muscles of Jiaxu, and the blood of Jiazi constitute the human body; The breath of the Jiachen Lord and the warmth of the Jiawu Lord constitute the movement of human life.
The correspondence between the god of Liujia and the five organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and the gallbladder in the six intestines, Daomen believes that "the six families share the human body".
"Liujia" not only constitutes human muscles, bones, blood, teeth and claws, but also maintains vital functions such as breathing and movement, and also corresponds to the six most important organs of the human body in the Taoist concept.
This concept was later accepted by medical scientists, who believed that the water god of Jiazi could "regulate the blood veins and moisten the three cokes", so there was a saying that "those who are three cokes are also desecrated in the intestines, and the waterways are out of the bladder".
This connects the kidneys represented by the god of Jiazi water with the bladder and intestines in the medical theory and the three focal phases that are responsible for the operation of water and fluid, and integrates them into the traditional medical theory system.
For pregnant women and fetuses, "conceiving for ten months and giving birth in one day" has been a fragile and dangerous process since ancient times.
In addition to the worldly causes and pathogenesis, there are many factors that can be harmful to conception and fetal preservation.
The offenses of "evil spirits, demons, ghosts, and gods", "dead souls of the last life", and the "curse and disgust" imposed by others will cause women to be infertile or pregnant women have unstable fetal gases and unsmooth delivery.
Under the backward conditions of ancient times, it became people's simple and fiery wish that the fetus was stable, the full-term delivery was smooth, and finally the mother and child could meet.
Daomen takes helping the country and saving the people as its social ideal, and various sects of Taoism also regard pregnancy and fetal protection as an important part of spells and rituals.
For example, in terms of spells, there are "the continuation of the birth and childbirth", "the method of inducing birth and curing misfortune", etc., and the corresponding talismans include "pregnancy charm", "fetal protection charm", "birth management town house charm", "birth promotion charm", "fast life charm" and so on.
In terms of ceremonies, there are a series of chapters and corresponding ceremonies such as "Prayer for Heirs", "Birth Protection Chapter", "Birth Chapter", "Prayer for Fertility Prayer Dojo", "Qingwei Baosheng Cultural Inspection" and so on.
In addition to spells and rituals, Daomen has also formed classics that specifically discuss the idea of protecting the fetus and protecting the life, such as "Taishang Says Liujia Zhifu Protecting the Fetus and Protecting the Life", and the forty-third volume of the "Lingbao Immeasurable Human Superior Quality" Volume 43 "The Treasure of the Baby".
In these scriptures, rituals, and spells, the deities of Rokko undoubtedly played an important role, and gradually formed a system of gods and goddesses to protect the fetus with the "Zhusheng Guan", "Prison God", and "Our Lady of the Guard".
"Taishang said that the Liujia Zhifu Protective Pregnancy Sutra" said through the mouth of the Yuan Shi Tianzun that reciting this sutra "seven or seven times, or a hundred times, or even thousands of times", "Liujia Zhifu Shenjiang" and other Liujia gods will descend to support the pregnant woman and play a role in protecting her life.
In "Lingbao Immeasurable Human Superior Wonderful Sutra - Fetal Protection", the Liujia gods cooperate with the belief in the three officials of heaven, earth and water to form the "Three Yuan Liujia Great Gods of Tire Protection and Life Protection", that is, "the first day of the Yuan Fetal Protection God Protecting the Life of the True Monarch Jiazi, Jiaxu", "The Second Earth Yuan Protecting the Fetal God Protecting the Life of the True Monarch Jiashen, Jiawu", and "The Third Water Yuan Protecting the Fetal God Protecting the Life of the True Monarch Jiachen and Jiayin", which dominates the Liujia system and performs the duties of protecting the fetus and protecting the life.
The "Fetal Protector" believes that reciting the "Sutra of Salvation" in the three months of the first month, July and October can respectively summon the corresponding Liujia Zhifu to drive away the evil that endangers the fetus.
The Shangyuan Liujia Zhifu is aimed at the "souls of the last life" who "call for their descendants", the Zhongyuan Liujia Zhifu is aimed at the "curse Gu disgust" of "harming men and women", and the Lower Yuan Liujia Zhifu is aimed at the "Tomb Litigation Wet Note" and the ghost of fetal essence.
Liujia Zhifu protects the fetus and protects life, which can save the heart from suffering evil lawsuits in front of the three officials of heaven, earth and water, so as to achieve the safety of the mother and child and the prosperity of the family.
In short, the belief in "Liujia" has become an important part of Taoist culture due to its mathematical characteristics that are closely related to time and space.
The "Rokka" in the body contains not only the construction of the life body of the heaven and earth spirit represented by the "Rokka", but also the protection of the fetus by the gods of the Rokka.
Carrying Liujia contains extremely rich Taoist cultural implications, but people don't know about it every day.
So, what is the main purpose of the Poppy monasticism?
After entering the Tao, there are generally many auxiliary methods.
Many people will regard these as a subject, but in fact, it is also a bit biased, it is more of an auxiliary to Neidan.
Daomen takes "longevity and long-term vision" as its main purpose, and "becoming an immortal and preaching the Tao" as its ultimate pursuit, and all the laws of cultivation do not deviate from this foundation.
There are some convincing skills, some guiding skills, fasting, chanting, knocking teeth, stopping speech, begging, including fragrant soup bathing, and so on, and people see all kinds of methods, and the premise of using these methods is to take the cultivation of the Dan Tao as the main body, supplemented by these external methods, these promising methods.
Instead of saying that the main idea is abolished, people work it, and then it is biased.
People's whole human body is in a natural environment, just like a melting pot, in this melting pot to cultivate themselves, naturally this qi and blood begin to flow in such an environment, plus their own cultivation, plus a mental regulation, a restraint of the self, qi and blood begin to circulate.
At this time, it began to enter the scene that many people would appear, seven illusions and twelve touches.
Often, these situations occur precisely because people have lost a lot of things.
Some feel hot, hot, some feel cold, extremely cold, some feel swollen, some feel numb, some seem to have electricity walking on their bodies, and some feel like there are real insects.
All of a sudden, the body fills the whole room and even the whole world, so big that it is boundless, without any physical obstruction, sometimes shrinking, like a grain of rice, so small that it cannot be smaller, it cannot feel the body, it does not feel any obstacles, it is extremely unobstructed, these are all illusions, and they are the most rudimentary, the most elementary illusions.
People have a purpose, no matter what situation or feeling arises, they will not be recognized, that is, they will not be recognized.
What state have I reached? I have finally experienced happiness, what have I experienced......
This kind of recognition, as soon as you recognize it, you will be enchanted, and you can't recognize it, not to mention that the "Seven Illusions and Twelve Touches" at the beginning are not demons at all, but the most basic, and it is a very short process to go through at the beginning.
Don't be nostalgic, I had this feeling before, why didn't I have it later?
Try it yourself again, find that feeling, is it a regression?
Actually, it is precisely the progress, that thing, it is a very short, very short thing, precisely because the true nature does not settle down, and as it continues to go deeper, the self-nature is so correct, and after the true nature is settled, these things are gone.
It's the same as the feeling of not getting started before meditating, as if there is nothing.
Don't be nostalgic, don't be attached, even if you become an immortal, don't be attached.
With such a stage, one more stage of cultivation will enter a deeper stage, which will be determined by the precepts.
The first one can't be talked about. There is a basic judgment in the so-called meditation: that is, all of a sudden, the breath is gone, the pulse is calm, and this place is the Tao.
I finally saw the door, which was the main gate.
And such a feeling, usually people's consciousness is clearer than ever, all kinds of senses, more sensitive than any time, but the breathing is gone, the pulse stops, and then everyone feels different, most people will feel that they have entered a blue world, and some people will see that there is a faint cloud like a cloud of Qi, condensed in the air.
That's what you can see in true vipassana, and you're so happy, you're very happy.
And the nature will know very clearly that there is no need to eat and drink at all, and no one can be disturbed by the shaking of the earth.
This process can be regarded as a dividing line, but also a watershed, come here, can be regarded as the door to get the fortune, it is possible to "subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger".
Then the next stage really reaches the most terrifying stage, and it is also the most dangerous stage, which is the hundred demons training the heart.
It is said that it is a hundred demons, but in fact, they are all demons in the heart.
said that he was a demon, and at the same time he was a protector.
Huer is a golden iron horse, a war situation, in such a dangerous situation.
People are afraid all their lives, and when they are frightened in their hearts, they are broken, and if they are not frightened or frightened, they are not affected by it, and this level is passed.
Suddenly, the sky is full of water, suddenly there is thunder and fire, sometimes it falls into the gold and silver mountains, it is covered by wealth, sometimes there are women to seduce you, and suddenly you are the emperor and general, the authority is invincible, and the fairy is full of joy, and you see the gods and see the immortals.
In fact, these are precisely the illusions of the mind, but this illusion is very, very dangerous, because when the self-nature is in it, it is impossible to distinguish.
It's like being in a dream, if you wake up, you know that you just had a dream, but you are scared in that situation, you want to flee, you are being chased by things.
People get lost, they recognize the situation.
At this time, why did the patriarch repeatedly emphasize that the sexual skills should be practiced first and then cultivated to cultivate the life skills, which was to make a reserve for this piece.
If you practice sex skills well, walk very slowly, very steadfastly and steadily, in this part of the self-nature is safe, let it change, let it come and go, if you want to kill me, I will give you the head, if you want to burn me, I will give you the body, I am not afraid of life and death, I am not nostalgic for anything, I don't recognize the realization of immortals, this is true practice.
Then, every time these demons set up a situation, if they have passed the test, they will become their own protectors, recommend themselves, and become a Dharma protector.
Then this level is passed, this level will be safe, and if you haven't passed, you have to pass every level, and any thing that is transformed by the greed generated by your own heart will become such a scene of a hundred demons practicing your heart to test yourself one by one.
Therefore, what cultivators should emphasize is that there are still many times when they are reluctant to explain the reason for this, and everyone is in a hurry to do the cultivation later, and once something goes wrong, no one can save them.
Because at this time, only oneself can safely save oneself, and anything that has not been repaired, such as nostalgia for wealth, infatuation with women, and pursuit of power, if you can't let go of it a little bit, at this time, you will have to kill the cultivator.
