Chapter 569: Nine Palace Bagua Feng Shui (2)
In this case, you will be plagued by paranoia, and no matter how clever your magic is, you will not have the compassion of all beings in mind, and you will deviate from the basic meaning of the Great Dao.
It is important to know that compassion is not just a verbal greeting, but should be slowly experienced in the cultivation of a lifetime, so as to attain the purity of the mind.
Whether it is the Tao or the arts, the practitioner must be required to be angry, desired, and persistent, and to comprehend the supreme path from humble things, so that he can realize that all things and all dharmas are natural truths, and thus avoid practicing with a deviated mind.
There is a saying in the Taoist sect, if you want to seek immortal Taoism, you must first cultivate humanity.
From the perspective of Daomen, the Tao of Immortals and the Tao of Humanity are not conflicting concepts.
Too many Taoist ancestors say that "Taoism is natural", and this "nature" can be placed in any state of existence to be interpreted.
Such as the unpredictable wind and clouds of the sky, the cloudy rain and snow of the earth, the withering of the years of plants and trees, and the life and death of insects and birds, these are the unique ways of survival of different species, and they belong to their "nature".
Returning to the perspective of human beings themselves, human birth, old age, sickness and death, seven emotions and six desires are all natural results based on the existence of the physical body.
From life to death, this is "nature" that is talked about based on survival. However, unlike other species in the world, human beings are social and social animals, and there is a necessary communication and cooperation relationship between them.
If everyone can always be vigilant and make civilized society maintain a balanced operation in this complete set of laws through their own efforts, then the social survival and life of human beings can be "long and long", which is the "nature" of social life.
In general, the nature of survival and life is to abide by the social norms and survival norms of human beings, so as to constitute a rich and colorful life for the public. And this kind of life is the manifestation of the Great Dao in human society.
Since we are born as human beings, we must first start with humanity in our cultivation.
Regardless of whether they are Taoists or not, people are first and foremost human beings, natural beings who need to be fed, clothed, and clothed.
Hungry to eat, sleepy to sleep, this is the nature of humanity, and to go with the flow is to follow the road.
There is also a saying in the Taoist sect that "cultivating the truth through falsehood" means that although people's physical bodies are short-lived "false", it is only through the various impermanences experienced in the "false" that one can better understand what the permanent "truth" to be cultivated is.
Therefore, maintaining the harmony of the body is the premise for further talking about the path of immortals, and benefiting the well-being of all sentient beings is the great way to improve the state of cultivation.
Daomen has always had a tradition of rebirth and rebirth, if you blindly pursue the freedom of the world of gods and immortals, but ignore the human world, this will become a vain pursuit of the castle in the sky.
Only by practicing from humanity can we find a way beyond humanity. Detached from the foundation of this world, how can he finally prove the path of immortals?
In the long history of Taoism, all the ancestors who have attained the Tao and become immortals, they have become enlightened in terms of magic, philosophy, merit, education, etc., but they all have a common characteristic, that is, the Taoists
It has always adhered to the theme of "Jishili people".
Although Taoism is taught in the name of Taoism, its central word still falls on the word "teaching", emphasizing the education of good Taoism.
The ancestors of the Taishang Dao Ancestor 5,000 cultures have educated the people of the world to have less selfish desires, and the ancestors of the Heavenly Master have established a religion to influence the people to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and all the ancestors who have achieved success in history are not respected because of their personal Taoism, but because although they already have the capital to rise to immortals, what they want in their hearts is still to transform mortal dust.
As the world changes, the manifestation of the techniques passed down by the ancestors may change, but the meaning of this compassion remains the same.
Any cultivator should learn from Lu Zu's ambition, that is, the world is inexhaustible, so why bother to become an immortal in order to be free?
Belief in Taoism should reflect the attitude of Taoism towards life and the world in daily life.
This attitude can often radiate to many specific levels of practice, such as devotion to chanting and confession, sincerity to spells and spells, perseverance in health preservation exercises, and carelessness about palace chores. The most basic elements of life are the foundation of cultivation, because the Tao is based on the world, in life, and in oneself.
Xiuzhen realizes the truth of all things from the troubles of life, instead of abandoning the red dust, but only enjoying the deep mountains and old forests. Happiness alone or happiness in all? Such a proposition would not have been true in Taoism.
Nanhua Zhenren has a saying that "heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me", and the self-degree and the degree of people on the road of cultivation are one. Any form of renunciation and bigotry is a misunderstanding of the yin and yang of the Great Dao.
Although the Daomen also has the theory of becoming a monk and entering the WTO, no matter what kind of identity is used to inherit the precious culture left by the ancestors, it is to realize the degree of the Tao in life.
Learning from gods and immortals is the goal of cultivation, but at the same time, you can also use your own Dao fruits to influence everything around you, which is the first step to becoming a god and spirit immortal.
Those who are new to the Dao Sect must not be dragged away by the "Great Desire to Cultivate Immortals" at the beginning of their cultivation.
Monasticism was originally a real life, not a fantasy in fantasy. Put your heart into reality, and use the "fake" of red dust to cultivate the "truth" of the avenue, so that you can find a solid and clear direction for the future path of cultivation.
People should pay attention to their own hearts in everything they do, and do not be controlled by the things themselves and forget the state of their minds: are people controlled by delusional minds and cranky thoughts, or are they always settled, not attached, not flustered, and calm?
If it's the latter, it's called silence. In everything you do, you must develop the habit of being calm, step-by-step, and not in a hurry. As time goes by, the impetuous heart will settle down, and people's lives will change.
When people understand the state of mind, a different kind of magnetic field and biological field will appear in the human body.
It makes sense of what state of mind a person is in, what his energy level is, and what kind of light he will emit. It is a symbol of life that proves that there has been an objective change in human life.
Therefore, people must learn not to care, learn to think about it, not to think too much, to deal with things when they come, and not to worry about them no matter what.
In this way, people will gradually become single-minded, and they will be single-minded in everything they do, and they will be less and less attached.
When man is free from any attachment, he becomes one with nature. At this time, one's sincerity will become one with the aura of heaven and earth, and one will be able to collect the aura of heaven and earth, and will feel very relaxed, which is the reason why meditation makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.
Even if a person is very tired, once he enters the state of selflessness and settles down for a certain number of breaths, all his cells will be full of vitality, and this is the meditation.
This shows that there may be some kind of energy in the universe, and when the human life frequency is close to it, or even agrees with it, it will become the life energy of the human being.
Does this make sense?
Reasonable!
People themselves often have this experience. Even if you are very tired and tired, as long as you close your eyes, empty your heart, and stay in silence for a moment, your life will be full of energy again.
Many Taoists in the past also had this experience, they may not be able to form a pill, they may not be able to cultivate the yang god, but they have all had this experience, and they have all had the moment when they became one with nature and forgot about their bodies and minds.
Some people do not covet the entertainment in the red dust and are obsessed with the cultivation of the Tao, precisely because this state is so wonderful, more wonderful than any enjoyment in the red dust.
So, if one feels tired, one might as well take a vacation for one's mind, forget everything, and meditate in a state of detachment, two quarters of an hour, half an hour, without asking for any results or feelings.
And people should not deliberately seek out this experience just because they have heard about it. If a person has a pretentious mind, he will not be able to enter.
Even when doing things, people should train themselves to enter a state of silence, not attached to the process or the result, and to observe the changes of all things while focusing on doing it.
Never be swept up in the complex phenomena and changes, never get lost, never desire anything to remain the same, and never be afraid of what will change, because whether people desire or fear, when it is time to change, it will definitely change.
People can't be persistent, it is better to let themselves live in silence and enjoy the most beautiful gifts of life.
Like Taishang Laojun, he sees everything clearly, but he will never be stirred in, and he will always live so lightly.
When the mind is calm and lives lightly, people's qi will be reconciled and pure, and at this time, people will appear "Taoism".
Nowadays, when people say "sanctimonious", they are sarcastic, but in the past, morality was a good word, just like meditating on all things is a good state.
The so-called Taoism is that people have cultivated to a certain extent, and there is no turbidity of red dust on their bodies, and there is a transcendent atmosphere, and many old cultivators have Taoism.
As long as one concentrates on cultivating the Tao, a kind of pure spirit and pure qi will appear in people.
When a person enters a state of silence, he is able to absorb the energy of nature into his body. This is the so-called harvesting the essence of heaven and earth and absorbing the aura of the sun and the moon.
You don't need to learn this, you just need to enter a state of detachment, selflessness, quietness, and concentration, and you can do it naturally.
People can try it in life, and when they find a feeling, try to make it a normal part of their lives.
For example, before going to bed, one can look at oneself as empty and fall asleep in a state of silence without distractions.
When doing things, one can also enter into emptiness, generate contemplation in silence, and do things in this state of detachment.
If one can enter this state and enter this realm, one will achieve "returning to the roots", and one's qi and essence can return to the roots.
Some people can even put qi into the middle vein, and the Dao Gate is to collect qi into the second vein of Rendu. The purpose of this is also to keep the mind, not to let the mind qi scatter outside, consume too much, otherwise the person will be very tired.
When people practice slowly and become habits, they will often be nourished by nature, and people's spiritual energy will become very sufficient, and there will be divine light and spiritual light, and this is what the spiritual "god" means.
Therefore, it is okay for people to meditate or not, and the most important thing is to maintain a quiet state of mind, when people have no distracting thoughts, no attachments, and yearn for a beautiful positive energy, they are cultivating the Tao themselves.
