Chapter Eighty-Five: The Host Road to West France
"I talked about the general pattern of the cultivation realm before, but what I'm going to talk about next is the real point. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The general trend of the world that he just talked about has already surprised many disciples, and now he is saying that he wants to talk about the real key points? Everyone can't help but be a little curious, what does the so-called real focus mean?
I only heard the second elder speak slowly:
"The way to distinguish the people of each continent is apart from their location, dress, habits, and manners. And one of the most important factors, and that is what they're practicing, remember, I'm talking about practice, not practice and practice. β
What is it that he is practicing? After hearing what he said, everyone was even more puzzled.
Knowing that they were confused now, the second elder also hurriedly explained:
"For example, we people in East Antarctica practice the Tao, and we pay attention to starting from the Tao, feeling all things in heaven and earth, and pursuing the truth of the world.
What we practice is the Tao, and what we practice is the art. All kinds of exercise cheats and treasure tricks all belong to the category of 'art'.
As for cultivation, it is the process of merging the two, and this process cannot only rely on the inner room alone to perceive, but also go outside to experience it for yourself.
That's why it's called practice, 'cultivation' is thinking, and 'doing' is insight. Only in this way can we combine the perception of the truth with the magic moves, and produce the kind of tricks with their own perception and comprehension.
You are now just beginning your cultivation, and your cultivation has not yet begun, or a very small number of people have just started. As for the practice, you are far from that far.
Even if it's me, even if it's the head of the teaching, it's just walking on the path of cultivation. Life is endless, and cultivation is endless, this is the attitude that a cultivator should have. β
After he finished speaking, the disciples below burst into warm applause, and they were indeed shocked by the second elder's speech.
Practice, practice, practice, perhaps none of the disciples here have considered the difference between these three, let alone the relationship between them.
And the Second Elder's sentence that life is endless, and the practice is not stopped, is indeed remembered by many disciples here, and it is enshrined as a lifelong practice standard.
Seeing that all the disciples had some understanding, the second elder also nodded with satisfaction, and waited for everyone to think about it before he continued:
"Cultivating this kind of thing, the entire cultivation realm is common. The purpose is to discover the true self from the process of continuous search and realization, and to break out of it, so as to achieve true transcendence, which is also called cultivation.
The reason why our cultivation realm is so named represents a beautiful idea of the person who led us to the path of cultivation in the first place. I hope we can be transcendent and smile at the vicissitudes of life.
To put it bluntly, what is cultivated is a true mind, a true self, and a life that can be transcended.
Of course, even if he is in charge, he is only on the path of cultivation. As for cultivation, it is still far from being reached. That's why I say that this is a beautiful idea, or a kind of spiritual sustenance. β
Everyone was in an uproar again, this kind of realm is too high, let alone thinking, few people have even thought about it. But after listening to the second elder's explanation, they couldn't help but be shocked.
Xing Shuchen couldn't stop nodding there, he also felt that what the second elder said was very reasonable. But when he looked sideways, he found that Xiao Lin was actually frowning there, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing him like this, Xing Shuchen couldn't help but ask:
"Hey, what do you want?"
His words pulled Xiao Lin back from his thoughts. He came back to his senses, glanced at Xing Shuchen, and only said that it was okay.
Then he looked ahead again, but his eyes were not focused, as if he was lost in thought.
Seeing his chattering appearance, Xing Shuchen didn't care about him, and was ready to wait for him to finish thinking about it and ask.
And after he looked away, Xiao Lin fixed the eyes that had been swept aimlessly before on the second elder's body, and after looking at it for a long time, he shook his head imperceptibly, and whispered in a tone that no one could hear:
"Wrong. β
No one heard his two words that he couldn't be lighter, and even Xing Killchen, who was closest to him, didn't notice it. Perhaps he didn't want others to hear it at all, and then he stopped talking and continued to listen to the second elder.
Just when he had just said these two words incorrectly, the Second Elder's expression was visibly stunned. But it was too late for him to react, so he continued:
"Although the entire cultivation realm is common, the things that are practiced are different.
We practice the Tao in the East Pole, while we practice the Dharma in the West Xuanzhou, which is divided into the Dharma and magic.
Those who practice the Dharma still have a lot in common with those who practice the Tao with us, and they all pay attention to communicating with all things, so as to build a spiritual world.
The difference is that Buddhist practitioners pay more attention to spiritual comprehension and understanding of the state of thought, but they do not pay attention to themselves, feeling that everything is suffering and needs to be saved.
The cultivator, on the other hand, is concerned with all things while paying attention to himself, and since he is paying attention to all things, and we are also a part of all these things, how can we not pay attention to ourselves?
Senior Brother Boss has spoken to me once, and I am here to tell you: he said that we should not do anything to save sentient beings, after all, we are also part of sentient beings, and it is good to be able to save ourselves.
Even if we save ourselves, we may not be able to save sentient beings. The Tao is very good, and it is very good. The methods that can be said are not called methods, and the things we save ourselves may not be able to save others.
At the same time, we don't think that all living beings are suffering, people float for a lifetime, plants and trees for a lifetime, and joys, sorrows, and joys should be controlled by themselves.
If all living beings reach that state of no joy and no sorrow, and all people are the same, then what is the difference between people, plants, trees, and all things?
At that time, will all things still be called all things? Maybe that's the suffering of all living beings.
Of course, these are the understandings of the master brothers, and I am adding my expressions. You will also come into contact with monks who practice the Dharma in the future, and you will need to experience for yourself what you think of the Buddha at that time.
But in general, the difference between the Buddha and the Tao is that the Tao cultivates this life without forgetting the original heart, and the Buddha cultivates the next life and reincarnates Nirvana. β
After he finished speaking, everyone also burst into warm applause again, this time everyone was really applauding, even Xiao Lin, who frowned before.
People float for a lifetime, plants and trees for a lifetime, and joys, sorrows, and joys should be controlled by themselves. How many people's hearts are spoken by this sentence.
This applause lasted for a long time, and in the end, the second elder even had to wave his hand to signal them to stop, and then everyone stopped applauding, and the second elder continued to speak:
"This is the Dharma, and in addition to the Dharma, there is another Dharma practiced in Xixuanzhou, and that is magic.
There are two kinds of methods of cultivation in Xixuanzhou, and the magic of one of the two methods is also divided into two types.
One refers to magic, and this magic means peculiar. Unlike those who practice Buddhism, they don't feel it, they feel it.
They see everything in the world as being made up of elements, and what they have to do is to feel the elements, communicate with them, and then control them.
And they can't perceive it out of thin air, they need to have a medium, and that medium is Reiki. How much aura they possess means how many elements they can feel.
But the elements they feel may not all be able to control, which requires the help of tricks to control as many elements as possible. And mobilize the elements it wants to control from it and shoot them as attacks.
So they also have all kinds of magic books, which also record these various tricks. And powerful tricks can not only help them control the elements, but also help them increase their perception of the number of elements.
The purpose of these magical monks, their breathing and cultivation, is not to use the aura itself, but to use it as a medium to feel the elements.
They tend to start from a higher starting point, but because they don't cultivate themselves, and they don't pay attention to the perception of the Tao. Therefore, the higher they cultivate, the slower their progress will be, and the more prominent their weaknesses will become.
They also found out about this problem, so they have been looking for a solution in recent years.
This is the method of magic, and the other kind of magic refers to the method of the demonic mind, which is the opposite of the Buddha.
No matter what the Buddha's intention is, he is always good to others. But magic is different, or it is the complete opposite of the Dharma. A Buddha does not pay attention to himself and only cares about sentient beings, whereas a demon does not pay attention to sentient beings and only cares about himself.
Those who cultivate the Demon Heart, they will use all means to improve their cultivation and increase their strength. There are no moral scruples, because they only care about themselves and only about themselves. It can be said that they are the cancer of this cultivation realm, something that should not exist.
Although the elder brother in charge once said that my thinking was narrow and extreme, he also told me not to tell my disciples about this.
But I can't help but tell you, because I don't know where I'm thinking or understanding wrong, not only don't I know, but I also don't think I'm wrong.
I have told you today what I understand, and I will tell you what the elder brother said about me, and as for how to judge, it is up to you. β
Xing Shuchen didn't know if what the second elder said was right or wrong, mainly because he had never met a monk who cultivated the demon heart. But since he studied in the True Realm, he has seen some good and bad people.
Arrogant and arrogant like Wu De, arrogant like Pang Tao, affectionate like a child tiger, unrighteous like a child, yin like Han Feicheng, repentant like a purple feather, honest as Sui Heng, frank as Li Zhan, good at scheming like Ye Miao, tough as the emperor's color pupil, true as a pine cloud, rate as the southeast, eccentric as a pavilion, loyal as a protector, difficult to know like Bai Mo, trustworthy as Xing Jiu, wise as Gu Xuan, mysterious as Xiao Lin.
One person after another he has seen, both good and bad, constitutes a worldview of his present.
It is also his understanding of this cultivation realm, or the whole worldβthat all things are polar, and that good and evil are opposed. Where there is yang, there must be yin, just as where there is light, there must be darkness.
Existence is reasonable, and the reason why the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Dao is precisely because it embraces all things. As for right and wrong, good and evil, they are just a vehicle of morality.
As long as you keep your heart, these questions of right and wrong are obviously not so important. It seems that the second elder is indeed narrow-minded and extreme.
At this time, he found that the second elder had said something wrong before, it turned out that they hadn't reached the realm of cultivation yet.
Rather, since they were born, they have been on the path of cultivating truth since they first thought independently. It's just that they don't know it, maybe this is the true meaning of the cultivation realm.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, feeling that the whole person seemed to be sublimated, although the realm had not been improved, but there was something more wonderful in his heart.
Just as he was immersed in this wonderful feeling, he suddenly felt that someone was watching him. turned his head to take a look, and found that it was Xiao Lin staring at him, with a mysterious and relieved smile on his face.
Although Xing Shuchen didn't know what he was laughing at, he always felt that he seemed to know what he wanted to do.
Suddenly, he thought of Xiao Lin's frown before, and his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that he had figured this out just now? Or had he already thought about this question before this?
Either of these two is a bit bizarre. And if that's the case, then this guy may be far more terrifying than he imagined!
