Chapter 507: Reincarnation

Mysticism has both a general feature similar to other religions in the Daomen, as well as a specific feature of the Daomen as the Daomen itself.

However, in addition to the above examples of mystical experiences of ascetics, mysticism has other characteristics, such as mystical experiences that are generally ineffable, temporary, and accompanied by feelings of pleasure, joy, pain, or intoxication.

No matter how one defines mysticism and how one elaborates on the characteristics of mysticism, the essence of mysticism is universally agreed upon by theologians or religious scholars, and is essentially an exchange or conformity with supernatural and superhuman forces, but different religions have different expressions due to their different doctrines and beliefs.

What's more, people don't seem to be able to make any judgment about mystical experiences, and there can only be tolerance, openness, and sympathetic understanding.

Some people always like to go to the deep mountains and old forests to find immortals and visit the Tao.

In fact, since ancient times, most of the true cultivators have been hidden in the world.

Since ancient times, the three emperors and five emperors have all assimilated with the people, set an example for the people, and the light and dust, mixed with the people;

What is a true monastic?

True cultivators first of all follow the right path and go straight to the essence of life; most true cultivators have hidden virtues and do nothing in nature; true cultivators abide by daily necessities and follow the routine, and they will suffer daily losses along the way.

If you don't seek perfection, you can get the guidance of one merit and one line, which is all creation.

Seeking advice from true ascetics, one should not copy the same one, and have a self-righteous standard of a Master beforehand, and those who do not meet the preset standards will be greatly disappointed.

In the past, the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi, but he didn't know that Hongya was Guangchengzi, so he missed it in person. The Chinese Holy Ancestor is still like this, not to mention the successors.

Those who do not know the truth in front of true cultivation generally have the following barriers.

First, the good fortune is not prepared.

If you are not prepared, not only will you lack the insight to know the truth, but the true cultivator will also become more and more hidden in front of such people.

The second is that the root organ is unfavorable.

The root is unfavorable, although there is an opportunity, but there is no fate, guarding the treasure mountain does not know the treasure, looking for the master to find the master, always thinking that the monk from afar is good at chanting, and likes to chase celebrities.

Taishang Laojun said: "When the sergeant hears the Tao, he acts diligently; when the sergeant hears the Tao, if he survives, he dies; when the corporal hears the Tao, he laughs loudly, and not laughing is not enough to be the Tao." ”

The scholars in the world, the sergeants are rare, and the middle and lower are many. Those who often swing, not because of their value orientation, only for the name of a certain teacher, think that they will improve their own merits, but they don't know that the years are rushing, a few swings down, and they don't feel old.

So I sighed that it was difficult to meet a Master, and it was difficult to find the Fa-rectification, and even a heart to seek the Tao was cold.

Third, the opportunity has not yet arrived.

The opportunity has not arrived, although I have to meet Gao Zhen, but I always miss it and have no chance to cultivate.

With this opportunity, I know that people are superior.

In fact, those who really have inheritance and understand cultivation are generally humble and easy, do not show their talents, do not engage in sectarian disputes, impart knowledge in a plain and unpretentious manner, do not make a fuss, and do not pretend to be profound.

First of all, a true cultivator is physically and mentally healthy, with a light body, good behavior, clear eyes, a ruddy complexion, and a lack of words but sufficient energy.

When in contact with such a cultivated person, one can feel comfortable and peaceful, and can deeply feel the charm of his personality and be willing to get close.

If one is fortunate enough to receive the guidance of such a true cultivator, the kung fu he teaches must be natural and simple, pay attention to virtue and mind, pay attention to internal refining of essence and spirit, and will never play tricks and violate the laws of life and social ethics.

The method of cultivating the righteous path mainly depends on personal cultivation, and does not rely on the so-called "blessings" and "gong", let alone external forces such as gods and spirits to cultivate.

Righteous Kung Fu emphasizes "Kung Fu eats Kung Fu", which must go through years and months, accumulate essence and energy, and there is no quick success. And the law is rigorous, in line with the law of life operation, in line with the basic principles of Yi and medicine.

Most of the practitioners who inherit the Inner Dan study are proficient in hidden knowledge. As the saying goes, "the elephant is invisible, and the road is nameless." “

The cultivators of the Great Dao of all generations also emphasized a hidden word, so that there was a hidden immortal faction.

Although in troubled times, there are always Taoist figures who come out to support justice, but when they retire after success, they are always talked about behind them.

Those who have retired after success have returned to the people, and those who have never left the mountain have never left the people.

The folk are water, and the true cultivators are as good as water, hidden in the water, and they are in harmony.

The real hidden is to be a normal person, to do things normally, and to accumulate merits and virtues.

A true practitioner blends into the people, does not leave the people, and achieves success in the people.

The avenue is endless, and the complex is endless. True cultivators are on the road, and there are many people on the road, so don't miss them in person.

Whether it is a monk at home, he is the one who can overcome himself to be strong. This so-called mundane world can best temper people, and the Taoist temple of pure and inaction can also cleanse people's body and mind, and people must face reality and stop blindly following the trend.

All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful.

However, the development of things today is only in the way of "negative yin and yang", that is, the coexistence of advantages and disadvantages, but only the method of "impulsive and harmonious" is missing, so it is gradually out of balance.

Who does not have a teenager? In the process of growing up, people's thoughts and opinions are constantly being formed, and they will certainly have a fierce collision with the world and society.

The spark of wisdom and precious life experience that should have been rubbed in the collision have long since changed their taste.

These people have no observations, no opinions, and they can't hear the right opinions or opinions when they are confronted with things. He has no facial features, but no five senses, just blindly following the trend.

Maybe you feel that the world is too painful, and only by becoming a monk can you have the so-called "liberation"?

There are also many people who are not pure in their monastic nature.

Maybe you think that you can draw talismans very dazzlingly, maybe you think that the eight-character prediction is enough to show off the capital, or maybe you hear some rumors that monasticism is a carefree life with no worries about food and clothing.

Maybe, perhaps, too much.

Because they feel that the red dust world is too painful.

The days of monks living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, living at ease, and indulging in the mountains and rivers are "chic" enough, so the young people began to ponder about becoming Taoist monks.

Taishang Laojun put forward theories such as "the way of keeping the middle and the peace", "impulsive thinking of harmony", and "harmony is mutually becoming" in the "Notes on Thinking".

The qi of "neutralization" has the function of "harmonizing all things", and is an important foundation for the harmonious coexistence and symbiosis between man and nature.

It can be said that the nature of "Tao" is "neutral", it is natural and harmonious, and only the harmony of heaven and earth can have the growth and maturity of all things.

"The Way of Neutralization" is an important ideological resource for Daomen to pursue a harmonious life and harmonious nature.

Starting from the harmonious idea of "the way of neutralization", the ecological harmony theory of Dao Yin emphasizes the harmonious coexistence and coexistence of man and nature.

"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature" is the criterion for Daomen to deal with the relationship between man and nature, which reflects the ecological ethics of Taoism and nature, the ecological wisdom of the unity of nature and man, and the ecological construction of harmony and symbiosis.

The Tao of Nature is the ecological ethics of the Tao of Neutrality, and the "Tao of Neutralization" embodies the harmonious ecological ethics of the Tao Gate of "Tao Law and Nature".

The nature of the Tao of "human law of earth, earth law of heaven, heaven law of Tao, and Tao law of nature" is natural, and "non-action" is the law.

All things are born naturally and are not restricted by any external objects.

According to the ecological ethics of "Tao gives birth to all things", Daomen believes that all things in heaven and earth are incarnated by "Tao", so "everything tangible contains Taoism".

All things exist according to the nature given to them by the "Tao", and they have the right to live and develop naturally, and people have no right to destroy them.

The attitude of human beings towards all things should be "let things be natural", that is, follow objective laws and live in harmony with all external objects, so as to obtain harmony between man and nature as a whole.

The ecological ethics of "Tao leads to all things", Daomen believes that man and nature are a unified whole, should respect each other and live in harmony, and nature is a necessary condition for the survival and development of human society.

Daomen also believes that the Tao incarnates all things, but human beings are incarnated by the "neutralizing" qi of the Tao, and are the most spiritual and intelligent creatures among all things.

Therefore, man occupies the position of "the teacher of all things", and is the "chief of all things", that is to say, man has the responsibility of managing and caring for all things, and man's behavior should conform to the "way of heaven", and man should "help the heavenly creatures" and "help the earth to nourish the form", so as to make nature more perfect and make themselves more harmonious with nature.

The ecological ethics of "Taoism and Neutrality", Taoism starts from the whole of "Taoism and Nature", and attaches great importance to the dependence of human beings on the environment.

Daomen believes that maintaining the harmony and tranquility of the entire natural world is an important prerequisite for the survival and development of human beings, and that to maintain the harmony and unity between man and nature, it is necessary to ensure the peace of heaven and earth.

"Harmony of Taoism" means that human society and nature should maintain a harmonious balance. The Sutra emphasizes that if human beings want to be at peace for a long time, they must bring harmony and tranquility to the earth on which they live.

To this end, human beings must understand the laws of nature and act in accordance with the laws of nature, so as to truly achieve the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

The unity of man and nature is the ecological wisdom of the way of neutralization.

The Tao Jing says: "Heaven and earth are in harmony, and all things sprout", "Heaven and earth are not in harmony, and yin and yang are out of balance", which reflects the ecological wisdom of the unity of heaven and man. It is believed that man and nature are mutually induced and influenced by each other.
