"Form refers to the method and form, and we also understand the subtlety and the general meaning, but we don't know what 'entering the spirit' is?" asked the old man.

Yan Shi said: "When I entered the realm of God, this seat was only slightly touched, and I never really stepped into it. If you have to elaborate, people have the essence of the Three Treasures, and the so-called entering the gods is a level of spiritual will and martial arts cultivation to accommodate and blend, just like Li Tanhua's flying knife. ”

Li Xunhuan was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect Li to have such a realm achievement in the eyes of the sect leader." ”

"Why should Li Tanhua be modest, there is no need to say more about the extraordinary nature of Xiao Li's flying knife, otherwise why would that monk want to save you? Yan Shi glanced at the gray-clothed monk who was still confronting Rui Yu not far away.

"Although your martial arts are not at the pinnacle, and you are not a grandmaster in the realm, what makes you different from others is that your state of mind is very consistent with yourself, and you will fully integrate the great love for the common people into the flying knife in your hand, 'the unity of knowledge and action', how can you not be called the god of the sword?"

Yan Shi did not hide his admiration for Li Xunhuan.

At the same time, he looked at the old man Tianji with a sneering gaze: "The so-called knowledge is easy to do, some people talk about the truth is a set, the realm is unfathomable, but in fact it is vulnerable, just because it doesn't mean that he really did it." And Li Tanhua, you are a person who can do it, the unity of knowledge and action, such a realm is in the realm of Confucianism is 'exhaustive', although it is not enough to be called a saint, but it can be a virtuous. ”

"Exhaustion?" the old man was silent for a moment, and then asked.

"The Mean" has a saying: Only the sincerity of the world is to be able to do its best, to be able to do its best, to be able to do its best, to be able to fulfill its nature, to be able to fulfill the nature of things, to be able to do the nature of things, to praise the transformation of heaven and earth, to praise the transformation of heaven and earth, and to participate in the relationship with heaven and earth.

This is the way of Confucian practice, and even sincerity, dedication, and heaven and earth participate in the three realms. ”

"I've also heard that 'the way of sincerity can be known in advance', but I wonder if it has anything to do with it?" Sun Xiaohong interjected.

Yan Shi said: "The way of sincerity is the realm of the Tao heart is clear, dust-free and unsullied, and when you reach this realm, you can understand your own heart, so you can pass through all things and reach the foresight." The world thinks that this realm is the highest achievement of Confucian practice, but in fact, the realm of sincerity can be called Confucianism at most, only by going further, fulfilling one's life, the unity of knowledge and action, the symbiosis of the characters in the Tao, and praising the transformation and education of heaven and earth, is the way to peek at the sages, and finally participate in the heaven and earth. ”

Yan Shi is like a Confucian student full of wisdom, looking at the people around him, solemn and sacred: "Only the heavens are great, and only the saints are sacred." Heaven, earth, humanity, one also. The saint is sincere, his way is broad and clever, the broad can be matched with the earth, the wisdom can be matched with the sky, so the heaven and the earth and the heaven and the earth ginseng, this is the realm of the ancient sage, that is, the realm of the Tao I said. ”

Sincere foreknowledge, dedication to life, and heaven and earth ginseng!

"I didn't expect Sect Master Yan to have such a study of Confucianism, which made me ashamed. Li Xunhuan's face showed admiration, "At the beginning, Yan Jiao mainly participated in the palace examination in the same year as Li, and Li was afraid that he would not even be able to explore flowers." ”

Yan Shi smiled, he was also a talent who graduated from a famous university at the beginning, although the major has little to do with ancient literature, but the later generations are different from this era, the information is developed, and if you want to see something, you will find a bunch of resources.

And people in this era, I don't know what kind of books they want to read, I don't know how much effort it will take, and they can't compare at all.

He himself is very interested in Chinese studies, and I remember that before the crossing, he still had hundreds of G's of this resource in his computer, and he was ridiculed by his classmates at the beginning.

You must know that although most people's computers are also a bunch of resources, they are all in that aspect, and only Yan Shi is better to keep himself clean.

The old man of Tianji muttered there: "Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to run the great scriptures of the world, establish the foundation of the world, know the transformation and education of the world, and participate in the world."

How can a man who has something to rely on, who can know it...... Sect Master, since you understand this truth, why do you still practice the Demon Path?"

"As I said before, knowing doesn't mean doing it. Yan Shi said coldly, "What's more, the way of the sage, with heaven and earth, and the unity of all transformations, is by no means as superficial as you comprehend." ”

"The sword is not the sword, I am not me, the wonderful ginseng is created, and the sword is forgotten by me. Do you think the old man can't understand what you said?" The old man of Tianji is not to be outdone, he believes in Buddhism and likes Zen theory, so he sums up the five realms of martial arts, and has always been very conceited.

Yan Shi said: "What you said is to analyze martial arts with Zen theory. ”

The old man of Tianji said: "Yes, Zen theory and martial arts are originally connected. ”

Yan Shi said: "Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves, the origin of the three religions is an ancestral style. Originally, no matter Confucianism, Taoism, and profound truths, they are all in common with martial arts, but Zen Buddhism is not Buddhism, and Zen Buddhism is only one of the eight major sects, and the famous deviant has long been very different from the original intention of Buddhism. ”

The old man of Tianji said: "Although there are eight major sects of Buddhism, but Zen Buddhism is the first in Middle Earth, how can Zen not be said to be Buddhism?"

Yan Shi said coldly: "In the past, when the Wei and Jin dynasties were in the past, Confucianism and Taoism converged, and metaphysics was derived. Zen Buddhism seems to be enlightened, but in fact it is deliberate, and has become the metaphysics of Buddhism. ”

One of the schools of Buddhism, after the birth of India, went through the four stages of primitive Buddhism, tribal Buddhism (Theravada Buddhist scriptures), Mahayana Buddhism, and Esoteric Buddhism, after being introduced to Middle Earth, it merged with the Confucianism and Taoist culture of the Central Plains, and evolved out of the eight major sects of sexuality, phase, Taiwan, sage, Zen, purity, law, and Esoteric, each with its own merits, among which the Zen Buddhism created by Bodhidharma was the most prosperous, and Zen Buddhism almost represented Buddhism in the future.

The reason why this is the case is because the Buddhist teachings themselves are very complex, and ordinary people can't understand them at all, so they can't learn them, and they have a headache when they look at the dense scriptures.

But Zen Buddhism pays attention to epiphany, does not learn the Dharma, does not respect the Buddha, and is free to learn, so it is simple and easy to learn.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have liked to be lazy and do not like to speculate.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were hundreds of schools of thought, and later in the Han Dynasty, it was simplified into Confucianism, and the Confucianism itself was also very profound, but the great Confucians of the Han Dynasty did not think about the doctrine one by one, and only thought about commenting on the scriptures of the sages, which was the "scriptures" of the Han Dynasty.

The so-called scriptures are all Confucian scholars in the world, in the history of hundreds of years, do not study others, just look at those few scriptures, word by word commentary, think that the book of the sage has been written all the truth of the world, and future generations only need to discover it.

This situation continued to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and everyone couldn't bear it, so the metaphysics of rebellion for the sake of rebellion was formed.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the atmosphere was enlightened, and there was once again a hundred schools of thought contending, but later the emergence of science made the old road of scripture repeated.

Everyone only learns the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Eight Strands of Literature and Scholars, and even goes more extremely, which in the final analysis is because people like simple things.

Buddhism is also similar to Confucianism, the reason why Zen Buddhism flourished has nothing to do with its teachings, it is purely simple, it only needs to "have an epiphany", does not learn the scriptures, and opposes all languages and writings.

But there is no enough basic profound truth, in fact, it is just a castle in the air, so there will be so many fake monks who swagger and deceive, although the Buddhism is prosperous in later generations, but there are still a few real monks left?

Because Zen Buddhism is so rebellious, not only rebelling against their Buddha, but also rebelling against the precepts, and only likes to wear a robe and pretend to have an "epiphany".

God knows if they were real or false epiphanies.

Therefore, Yan Shi doesn't like Zen Buddhism, nor does he like the general martial arts principles of the old man Tianji.

He came to the later generations of popular practical learning, although he also likes to talk about some mysterious truths, but in his bones he is a person who likes to practice.

The combination of theory and practice is the right way.

Although the old man Tianji martial arts is very powerful, he still thinks it

- "If I go down with this knife, I can hack you to death!"

He picked up the full moon scimitar, and immediately slashed at the old man of Tianji.

He's just that rough sometimes!

PS: There are indeed hundreds of G's of Chinese culture resources in the Ningjing computer, and interested book friends can communicate with Ningjing. (ง•̀_•́)ง

In addition, the views of Zen Buddhism in this article are only subjective views of Ningjing, so don't take it seriously, after all, Ningjing is not a professional, and he doesn't know much about Buddhism.
