On the high mountain, there is a palace in the depths of the white clouds, and the Taoist chief Kuromoriichi often works in the kitchen.

Once, Kuromorichi was busy working in the kitchen, and his apprentice Yao Yuanling, who had just entered the Tao, passed by and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

"I'm herding cattle. ”

"Cow, where is the cow, aren't you working in this kitchen, Master?"

As soon as Hei Shou saw that Yao Yuanling didn't understand, he put down the work in his hand, sat down with his apprentice and talked eloquently.

It turned out that Kuromorichi replied that he was herding cattle, which meant that he was recuperating his mind.

Doing things in the kitchen can also regulate the mind at the same time, or in other words, doing things in the kitchen itself is to regulate the mind, which is a rare and valuable realm.

When the apprentice Yao Yuanling heard this, he thought for a while, and asked further, "I don't know how you herd this cow, Master?"

Kuromorichi replied unhurriedly: "As long as it enters the grass, grab the nose rope and pull it back!"

The "grass" in the reply symbolizes foreign objects and the external environment, and "entering the grass" means identifying with the external environment and chasing foreign objects, while "herding cattle" should maintain a harmonious mentality and deliberately guard against it.

As soon as the ox wants to get a seed and cling to the grass, it must immediately pull it back with a nose rope.

If the mind is chasing the outer realm, it must also pull it back.

Cattle are trained to be reconciled for a long time, they will be tamed, and once tamed, the nose rope becomes superfluous.

When the mind is cultivated to be mature and stable, in addition to satisfying the basic needs of life, even if you see all the scenes in the world of flowers, you can also have your own thoughts and choices, and you can get rid of improper desires in time, and at this time, all constraints are redundant.

Yao Yuanling listened to Hei Shouyi's words, and sincerely admired: "Master, you are really good at herding cattle!"

"Cattle herding" is to maintain a harmonious mentality, once it falls into all kinds of "grass", it is necessary to immediately pull the heart over.

The "Sutra of Tranquility" has clouds: it is always possible to send its desires, and the heart is calm, the heart is clear, and the spirit is self-purifying; the process of cultivating the Tao is to "ride the ox to the home", and only after enlightenment can one "look at it like a cowherd holding a rod, and not let the prisoner grow crops".

Hei Shouyi took Yao Yuanling out to travel, whether walking in the vast and boundless jungle, or over the mountains and mountains, Hei Shouyi walked in front of him leisurely, Yao Yuanling followed closely behind with his luggage, and the two took care of each other and accompanied each other along the way.

Yao Yuanling walked and thought, "It is rare to have a human body, but in just a few decades of life, you have to go through birth, old age, sickness and death, and suffer from the five realms of reincarnation, what a bitter thing! However, since I want to practice, I must be determined to save people and save sentient beings, so I can't slack off, I have to work hard quickly!"

Thinking of this, Hei Shouyi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned back to him with a smile on his face and said, "Come, let me carry the burden, you go ahead of me." ”

Although Yao Yuanling felt inexplicable, he still followed the master's instructions and put down his burden and walked ahead.

Walking and walking, Yao Yuanling felt that this was really at ease!

In the Tao Sutra, it is said that to transform sentient beings, we must do all kinds of charity according to the needs of sentient beings, "This is really too hard! Besides, there are many sentient beings in the world, when will they be able to save themselves? It is better to live such a free life by being alone!"

As soon as he thought about this, he heard Kuromorichi say to him very sternly, "Stop!"

Yao Yuanling hurriedly turned around and was startled when he saw the master's serious face! Hei Shouyi took the burden to him and said, "Carry the burden well, follow me!"

Yao Yuanling thought: "It's so hard to be a man! I was so happy just now, but I became very sad in a blink of an eye, people's minds are really unstable!"

"Ordinary people's hearts are easily shaken, but it's better to practice, at least I can face suffering sentient beings, make good connections with many people, and do some of the things I can do. ”

At this time, Hei Shouyi turned back to greet him with a smile on his face, and took the luggage on his back, asking Yao Yuanling to walk in front.

Yao Yuanling repeatedly started and retreated like this, until the third time he retreated, Hei Shouyi treated him with a very strict attitude.

Yao Yuanling finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Master, why did you ask me to go to the front and ask me to go back all of a sudden, what is going on?"

Kuromoichi said: "Although you have the heart to cultivate, your Dao heart is not strong. When we are moved, we make great vows, but we quickly lose our Dao minds, and when will we be able to achieve this kind of advance and retreat?"

Hearing Kuromorichi say this, Yao Yuan was very repentant, and when he had compassion again, the master asked him to walk in front, but he didn't dare.

Yao Yuanling said: "Master, this time I am really motivated, and I want to take the great wish of the high-rise building as the foundation of the Dao, and move forward step by step. ”

Hei Shouyi was very happy to hear it, and he also admired and respected Yao Yuanling, and the two walked side by side talking and laughing along the way.

Many people know that they want to enter the Tao and practice, and they also know that they need to have a big heart and make a big wish, and it is very simple to make a vow, but it is not easy to keep the Tao heart.

The world is impermanent, although today is safe, tomorrow is unpredictable, if you make a great wish but often retreat, waste the limited time on hesitation, it is a pity!

It is not too easy to make a big wish, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must be firm in your will and temper your patience in order to get through the difficulties.

Kuromorichi wants to obtain the Samadhi True Fire when he sleeps and cultivates, so how does he get the "Samadhi True Fire" in his sleep?

Feng Taihe told him that human beings work day and night, mainly relying on sleep to recover their physical strength and spirit, and when they are mentally tired or tired from work, they put down their bodies and minds and fall asleep.

When people wake up, such as swimming in Huachi, they are calm, physically and mentally comfortable, and they feel refreshed, and the effect of resting and recuperating in sleep can be seen in general.

And the inner practitioner sleeps because of the interdependence of body and mind, and the sleep center is still one, which is even more indispensable!

There are very few idlers in the world, and it has become a luxury to take out special time to practice, but if you can make full use of your sleep time to practice, you will kill two birds with one stone.

1. When grasping the living son in the haze.

Good sleep style, don't have a dream three flavors. But the heart is sincere in sleep, and the mind is clear in sleep. The sleeping method can not only be fun, but also easy to adjust the spirit in sleep, this sleep news sleep peace, few people will!

The traditional practice of Daomen Sleep Gong is: to do "heart and soul dependence" at the beginning, to achieve the realm of not forgetting and not helping, and to survive, you can fall asleep for a while. When I woke up, I was comfortable, my spirit was warm, and the wonder was indescribable.

Wait for a little progress, you can naturally enter the concentration from sleeping, sleep is the precursor to the concentration, and the concentration is generated from sleep.

Beginners have no sleep, and after a long practice, they have no sleep.

It is an experiment to be able to fall asleep at the beginning of learning, and it is better to be able to fall asleep naturally and quickly!

This state of sleep samadhi is very different from the lethargy of ordinary people, and it is a shortcut for beginners to start, and it is a precursor to entering the realm of true determination!

The method of sleeping will inevitably occur in the middle of sleep, and the specific phenomena can be divided into the following types:

For the baby boy, at the moment when he will not wake up, the **guan will suddenly swell, the baby has neither **, nor does he know the affairs of men and women, this is the time when his yang energy is initiated, and it is the time when he is alive in his own system.

If it is a young person, when he is alive, he will have a strong **.

You can use the vitality of the living son to shake Ren Du's qi veins to rise, forming Xiao Zhou's naïve qi operation.

The elderly, although they no longer have sexual urges, have their own life as long as they still have a breath!

The moment the old man was about to wake up and seemed to open his eyes, it was his life!

At this time, don't open your eyes, continue to maintain that hazy and chaotic trance, just like simmering a pot of meat, and if you simmer for a while, the meat will taste even stronger.

Even if it is a sick person, as long as there is a qi machine, there is a living child.

However, it is not all based on the ** official standard, but based on the periodicity of mental decline.
