Chapter 402: Ghost Fetus

"The fetus is formed by the condensation of the blood of the father and the mother, and the ghosts and gods live in. ”

The ancient Jane "Taishang Laojun Vipassana Sutra" describes the formation of life in this way.

Taking human life as an example, conception is the result of the participation of "ghosts and gods" in conception.

According to the scriptures, conception cannot be successful without the participation of "ghosts and spirits".

The "Six Lines" hexagram determines that the six parents are conceived, the official ghost is not a hexagram, and the fetus has no consciousness, that is, it is stillborn.

According to this, there is a folk saying that "people are living ghosts, and ghosts are dead people".

Therefore, many people do not understand why some couples are healthy but infertile but infertile.

In this ancient book, the reasons for the failure of conception are discussed in detail.

The essence of "ghosts and gods" is "qi", the gathering and dispersion of the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth.

Chinese philosophies all believe that "qi" is the master of all things, and qi is formed in the form of life, as the so-called "heaven and earth are in harmony, all things are self-generated, and all things are born in one qi".

Therefore, all things are born with qi, and when they get angry, they are souls, and when they die, they are dispersed, as the saying goes, "cut off qi".

Huaxia Daomen has about three ways to write the word "qi", and it also represents three meanings.

1. The word "Qi" is the gas word of the ancient text, the "nothing" on the top is the ancient word for nothing, and the word "灬" below is a variant of fire.

In ancient times, the Danjing Taoist book of the Taoist Gate mentioned "qi", so the word "qi" was often used. It can also be said that the absence of fire is called "Qi".

That is, the innate true element, the "Yuan Shen" that the father's essence and mother's blood are called "Yuan Qi".

Second, the word "qi" is also the word [Shangqi Xiami] in ancient texts, and most of the scriptures and seal books use this "qi" word.

To emphasize, the word "gas" represents the atmosphere, gases, and smells of nature.

3. The word "qi" is the common word of qi for later generations, but from the concept of ancient Taoism and Chinese medicine, this is the "qi" that has the effect of life and breathing after people eat rice and grain.

Those who practice Dan Dao know that life is in the way of ghosts and gods between a breath and a breath, so it is the greatest awe and respect for nature and life to practice fasting, sacrifice, and communicate with the ghosts and gods of the three realms of heaven and earth in the universe.

According to the Daomen, things that really exist beyond the physical and human cognition are called "ghosts and gods".

That is, the metaphysical is the Tao, and the yin and yang are unpredictable and the gods are God!

Combining various religious texts and scriptures, ghosts and gods exist in three forms:

1. The god of nature comes from the natural world of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, plants and trees, and is the innate nature of man.

The ancients believed that all things have spirits.

In ancient times, human beings formed natural personified gods due to reverence for heaven and earth and totem worship, such as Feng Bo Yushi, Lei Gong Electric Mother, River and Sea Dragon King, Household Land Gong, Stove King, etc.

If people do not read the classics, do not respect heaven and earth, do not respect ancestors, and do not know that there are "ghosts and gods", they are really lost in their nature and do not know how to respect and treat nature kindly.

The "god of nature" is based on the protection of the earth's natural environment on the one hand, and the elimination of all kinds of karmic diseases on the other.

In the past experience of monks in the calamity of ghosts and gods, and in the investigation of good and evil cause and effect, there were many people who suffered from diseases and disasters due to fierce gods such as Tai Sui, who committed construction work, and those who destroyed mountain bodies and collided with mountain gods, and those who cut down big trees and caused disasters and disasters caused by the anger of tree gods, those who wasted grain and grain, those who got sick and died by digging up dragon veins, and those who committed ferocious crimes and died due to attacks by insects, snakes, poisonous bees, and other animals, and a considerable part of them were related to the gods of nature and the cause and effect of human behavior.

Major events of the family and country, the loss of the way of nature, the destruction of the environment and even frequent disasters will inevitably be retribution by the natural ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.

2. The soul exists.

After the death of the sentient being's body, the divine consciousness exists in the form of a soul, which is called a wandering ghost.

The people of the Taoist Sect believe that after the death of mortals, their souls are immortal, and the same is true for other life, animals and plants.

After a person dies, his "soul" can still be a ghost as a ghost, that is, "a person dies and becomes a ghost". All of these people regard ghosts and gods as personal gods, believing that after death, people's souls can bring good and bad fortune to people.

Ghosts and gods not only exist, but also can communicate with the living through forms such as "dreams", "possession" and "reincarnation".

Daomen believes that killing kills life, and after his death, he will inevitably avenge the ghosts, or become ill, or take poison, or even take his life.

It is necessary to know that people have a thought, and heaven and earth know everything. As soon as I thought about it, the ghosts and gods of the Three Realms and the Six Realms knew it. There are gods in the head.

Demons and gods observe good and evil in people, and bring good and evil. Regardless of the richness or poverty of all sentient beings, ghosts and gods fairly enforce the law of cause and effect. Therefore, if people can be deceived, then ghosts and gods cannot be deceived.

3. Cultivating the Tao to become an immortal god.

The sentient beings of the Three Realms accumulate good deeds and virtues, constantly benefit sentient beings, and cultivate them.

After enlightenment, humans, animals and plants have a clear mind, compassion and return to the "Tao", and the merit energy obtained is revered as "immortal" after transcending the six realms of reincarnation. It also refers to those who have understood the truth of heaven and earth, have extraordinary abilities and perfect wisdom, and those who have attained enlightenment, cultivation, and practice. Of course, it also includes the god of the soul of the person who has made great achievements after death.

Fourth, the heart is the gateway of ghosts and gods, and the three religions are one, but the mind is also cultivated.

All sentient beings who are still struggling in the sea of suffering should let go of greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion in reading the scriptures, stay away from perverted delusions, separations, and attachments, and return to the source of pure and clear enlightenment, the Tao, only in this way can they get out of the sea of suffering and forever get rid of samsara.

The heart of man is dead, but the heart of the Tao is alive. Sentient beings who do not know the truth are delusional. People are in the Tao, and the Tao is in the heart.

Only when you can enter the true "Tao" and be sincere can you sense the world and understand the way of "ghosts and gods".

"Pregnant with Rokka" is a term used in everyday life to refer to a woman's pregnancy.

Literally, "Rokka" seems to be a pronoun for the fetus, but why "Rokko" refers to the fetus is not clear.

The concept of "Rokko" originated from the use of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch by the ancients.

"Jia" is the head of the heavenly stems, thus forming six groups of cadres headed by Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin, which is called "Liujia".

Kiri was the most widely used "Rokko" in the early days. Extrapolating the time of the records of cadres and expenditures has made the concept of "Liujia" penetrate into the minds of the broadest masses of the people.

As the most basic mathematical tool, Rokko has become an important component of mathematical arts such as calendar, astronomy, and formula.

The relationship between "Rokko" and the body is influenced by the concept of "the unity of heaven and man".

As the saying goes, "the head is round and the sky is round, and the feet are like the earth." The heavens have four hours, five elements, nine rays, and three hundred and sixty days, and people have four limbs, five Tibets, nine orifices, and three hundred and sixty sections. ”

This shows that people have corresponded to the three hundred and sixty verses of the body with the time of one year old.

Due to its spatio-temporal characteristics, "Rokko" plays a fundamental role in the rituals, spells, health preservation and other activities of the Daomen, and further forms a unique system of gods.

In the "Tao Sutra", it is said: "The sun and the moon and the stars, the five elements and the four seasons, the yin and yang of the six jia, and the movement of all things are not empty." There are gods and kings in all of them, and if people have shown them, they are afraid of them and dare not act rashly. ”

Daomen believes that the "Liujia", like the "sun, moon and stars" and "five elements and four seasons", are all controlled by the gods and the monarch.

The scriptures also believe that Liujia is the son of the five elements, and there are three ranks. The high-grade rune book enters the Shangyuan, which is called the Laojun's internal secret three runes and six armors.

People in the world meet them, they have meritorious cultivation in their ambitions, go to all kinds of diseases, come to the six gods and middle six grades, called Lingfei, the five elements and six grades are inferior, and this name is also the third class Liujia. The third class of the sixth, those who learn the Tao must be cultivated.

From the perspective of the Daomen, the meaning of the "Rokko" carried by the woman is multiple, not only referring to the essence of heaven and earth that the gods of Rokko give to the fetus the body and functions, but also referring to the role of the gods of Rokko in protecting the safe birth of the fetus.

"Rokko" is first manifested as the essence of heaven and earth that gives the fetus its shape and function.

The monks have "six families, one Jiayinmu, the main bones; Erjiachen wind, the main breath; Sanjia noon fire, the Lord is warm; Sijia Shenjin, the main tooth; Wujia Tu, the main muscle; Rokkazi water, the main blood. It is as stated in the "Mystery Sutra".

This passage tells the details of the "six families" that make up the five shades. The "six families" are first manifested as Liujia, namely Jiayin, Jiachen, Jiawu, Jiashen, Jiaxu, and Jiazi.

Among them, the attributes of the five elements of the earthly branch determine the five elements of the five elements: Yin is wood, so Jiayin is also wood, noon is fire, so Jiawu is also fire, and so on.
