Chapter 273: Why asked

"Others don't believe it, but I don't dare to let it go, because the fate has been decided, even if it is vain and sad, it is more earnest than a fait accompli!"

He believes in life, but he will not believe in life that is obtained without hard work, only by tears and the vicissitudes of life and death can he have no complaints.

Dongfang Xiaobao was stunned, trying to have little experience, but he also knew that my life was not up to him.

Life is precious, but how can the hope of existence be light?

For short-lived mortals, the result is more important than the process, and for the long-lived immortal, the process is more important than the result.

"Brother Yu has always been unbelieving in fate and evil, how can he feel it now?"

"Because since I became an immortal, I have found that life is much more boring, and if I use a single solitary act in exchange for the strength of cultivation, then the thousands of years wasted by a retreat are like a snap of a finger, and I can't let my mind grow at all. ”

"It is worthy of Brother Yu, with a sense of cynical excitement, using youth to enjoy the spring breeze and autumn moon, it is really an ageless pine and evergreen tree!"

Donghuang Yu has already walked towards the divination operator, and his back is still the same, but there is a trace of luck in his heart, hoping to get the guidance of his fate.

"Although others like to judge people by their appearance, I don't think that this may be more important than the appearance!"

Donghuangyu said, sitting in front of the fortune operator, as a noble son, although he will not spend a lot of money, but he can't learn that kind of miser.

When a small amount of money was placed on the table, the eyes of the divination operator only swept lightly, and there was no movement.

"Want to know what?"

Bu Operator asked lazily.

The five mentalities that a person who knows the Tao of the Eastern Emperor Jade should have are: first, he must be anxious about life and death, second, he must know that the body is the foundation of suffering, and the heart is the foundation of delusional karma; third, he must really see through it, and the fame, wealth, reputation, and goods in the world are all vain and untrue; fourth, he must be afraid of creating bad karma in this life, and he will fall into hell in the future, and he will suffer all kinds of suffering, and there will be no one to help him; fifth, he must know that the root of his life in the present is only one breath.

If this breath is broken, then ask for the blessing of learning the Tao today, and never ask for it, and it will be used and rich?

Dongfang Xiaobao heard his father Dongfang Xiuji say that if a person who learns the Tao has the five kinds of minds, he will naturally be indifferent to all the current vain realms, his heart will be naturally pure, and his heart will be strong for a long time.

The five types of mind are:

First, we must be anxious about life and death. That is, the purpose of learning the Tao is to stop troubles and to live and die.

If people live in the world, they have to go through a lot of hardships and sufferings, and if they don't cherish life and do a lot of evil, they will be reincarnated in the six realms in the future, seeking an indefinite period of suffering.

From the very beginning of his initiation, a person should be aware of the suffering of the cycle of birth and death, so that he can truly have compassion for life and death. Only when the heart for life and death is firm, will the learner be free from distractions and concentrate on studying. In the process of studying, the Taoist can more deeply understand the filth of the world and the contradictions and sufferings of the world, so that he can initiate the heart of renunciation.

2. Know that the body is the foundation of suffering, and the heart is the foundation of delusional karma. That is to say, a cultivator should conscientiously cultivate the Dao, always think of the suffering of the body, and think of the various sufferings he has suffered in the five turbid and evil worlds, so as to increase his Dao thoughts even more, so as to be positive and achieve success as soon as possible. At the same time, the body is the source of suffering, and the human mind is also the root of delusions and negative karma.

If the practitioner does not have a firm determination to follow the path, he will be easily captured by all kinds of temptations from the outside world, and thus see different thoughts. If a practitioner is unable to stop his mind during the practice, he will be bound by delusions.

If the delusions that arise are evil thoughts, they will become the root cause of karma, and sometimes they will be driven by evil thoughts to create all kinds of negative karma, and if they fail to learn the path, they will fall. Therefore, the proverb of liberation says: Sin begins with the heart and the heart confesses, and when the heart is destroyed, the sin is forgotten. The heart forgets sins and destroys both emptiness, which is called true repentance. Therefore, only when those who learn the Tao extinguish their delusional minds can they truly concentrate on the Tao.

Third, we must see through fame, wealth, fame, lust and profit, these are all vain and unreal.

Fame, wealth, reputation, and goods are all loved by people, and few people can see through them. The immortals often say that "fame and fortune are like reins and shackles" that bind people's freedom and make them unable to get liberation.

If the immortals can look down on some of these fame and fortune, they will have a relaxed and fun life. However, in this era full of desire and the pursuit of enjoyment, when people's desires are never satisfied, perhaps under the influence of traditional thinking, fame and fortune have become the goal of people's struggle and the purpose of life. In the past, how many heroes ended up depressed, helpless and sad because of the pursuit of fame and fortune.

Whether it is officialdom, rivers and lakes, or other circles, those who are successful and those who rise to the top are a minority after all, so they perform tragedies that are trapped and defeated by fame and fortune in life.

Fame and fortune can indeed bring many benefits to a person.

The proper pursuit of fame and fortune is often easy to motivate people to rise up and go with the flow. However, if you want to live a good life in the world, you might as well lighten the weight of fame and fortune, look at fame and fortune, and look down on fame and fortune, so as to live the true colors of life, not to worry about fame and small profits, and not to be fluttering because of fame and fortune, you must know that all this is illusory and unreal.

As a person who learns the Tao, when facing fame and wealth, the first thing should be to think that even if a person has more wealth and no matter how high his popularity, he will eventually leave me, and there is no real existence.

When a person who learns the Tao sees through fame and fortune, he will not be tempted by fame and fortune, and then he will be able to practice with peace of mind.

Fourth, you must be afraid that you will create bad karma in this life, and you will fall into hell in the future, and there will be no one to help you. That is, those who learn the Tao should know cause and effect.

In the process of studying the Dao, we should always keep cause and effect in mind, and always remember the truth that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. In our daily spiritual life, we should always think that if we do all kinds of negative karma, we will suffer from different circumstances, or all kinds of suffering in hell in future lives or lifetimes.

If a cultivator is able to constantly think about the various sufferings of the beings in the hells, and if there is no one to save them from suffering after being reborn in the hells, the desire for the world's desires and the six dusts will be greatly reduced, and the thoughts of creating negative karma will be extinguished at once.

At the same time, their good thoughts and good deeds also increase, planting good roots for their future, and they will also stay away from suffering in the future.

Fifth, you must know the root of life now, only between this breath. That is, if this breath is broken, then it is impossible to seek the blessing of learning the Tao today, and it will never be sought, and it will be used and rich? Human life is actually very fragile, and if it does not come to life, the first period of life will end.

As the saying goes, "there are no old and young people on the Huangquan Road, and most of the lonely graves are young people", look at the people around you, there are young people who died young, there are people who die young, and it is not easy for people to live to old age.

Human life is so fragile, natural and man-made disasters, poverty and diseases may take people's lives at any time, a person may have just talked and laughed, and he can't breathe, and in an instant, he will be separated by yin and yang.

For life is so short and fragile, we should cherish life, make good use of life to cultivate the Tao, and don't put off all the things we practice until tomorrow, knowing that "tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much." I'm going to live tomorrow, and everything will come to ......"

Once a learner loses his life and wants to practice diligently, he will no longer have such an opportunity, let alone enjoy a life of glory and wealth.

These are the five kinds of minds that a learner should have.

These five kinds of minds are not only an encouragement to those who are on the path, but also a warning to practitioners today.

I hope that those who have learned the Tao in this world will think more about these five kinds of minds when their bodies and minds are relaxed, and you will definitely be able to restrain yourself from the precipice and care about the Tao.

Thinking of this, Donghuangyu was a little hesitant and said, "I originally asked, but now I want to come, but I don't know what to ask." ”

Yes, ask yourself about life and death, but people are born and die, and the immortal road is the creation of heaven and earth, whether it can last long, this is really two words, who knows.

Ask heaven and earth, but the conflict between heaven and earth is an ancient thing, and no one can avoid it!

"In this way, it seems that the donor is a man of clear mind, stretch out your hands, and I will look at the palmistry. ”

Bu Operator was slightly stunned, and then said.

Donghuang Yu turned his palms upwards and spread them out in front of the fortune operator's eyes.

Bu Operator looked at it carefully with cloudy eyes, and said: "The donor's way is in the heart, virtue is outside the body, and everything you worry about can be done." However, people can't live forever, immortals can't last forever, robberies have big and small, dreams come true, all in the willingness, and the thoughts are instantaneous. ”

"Between wishes, the moment of thought, it seems that it can be a choice between one thought for a long time, one thought of heaven, one thought of hell, one thought of life, one thought of death, this is the so-called one thought of eternity!"

"It seems that you understand the importance of choice!" Bu Operator nodded.
