The eight students were all sitting neatly on the futon in front of the meditation hall, all waiting for the patriarch to come in and teach them the essence of the practice. These eight students are all the kind of people who love to study mysterious things, and they have read some Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures and even I Ching in their spare time at school.
Ma Xingtian is a Sichuan CD native, studying at Chongqing University, he is relatively tall, and he is a person who loves to turn the horns. I study the Book of Changes a little deeper, like prediction, and know a little about the Luo Shu River diagram.
Qi Yuhong and Luo Xiqian also like some fortune-telling books, and from their own fate, they have the fate of a canopy, so they are more interested in Buddhism. In terms of practice, I like to meditate, and when I meditate, I can see some realms of light and shadow. Qi Yuhong has a quiet personality, and also likes sports, reading, meditating, standing on piles, practicing guzheng, music and playing table tennis, but in general she is a relatively homely girl. Luo Xiqian is just the opposite, lively and outgoing, loves guqin and sports, likes to write a little poetry, loves life, and has the courage to pursue.
Yang Dongdong, Murong Zhen and Xu Liqiang all like to read the classics of Buddhism and Taoism, but they are more fond of the Danjing. In terms of practice, I mainly meditate and keep the lower dantian, but there has been no major breakthrough. Yang Dongdong mainly studied the Dan Dao of the Western School, mainly Qing cultivation, and once spent money to learn the Jindan method from others for a period of time. Murong Zhen believes that the interior picture is the essence of Dan Dao, believes that Dan Dao has been verified every step of the way, and meditates hard all day long to crack the interior picture.
Wei Ming'an and Li Huaide were more interested in Buddhism, read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and set out to become enlightened and liberated, and to purify all sentient beings. In terms of practice, I also like to meditate and meditate, and I can see some light and shadow when I meditate. Wei Ming'an and Li Huaide both like Mahayana Buddhism, but they can also practice Hinayana meditation, firmly believing that self-achievement is not fulfilled, and those who save others are useless.
At this time, the patriarch walked in lightly through the door, 136 years old, and his steps were still so steady. Full of silver hair, white beard, dressed in white, like a fairy wind bones, fluttering feeling.
The patriarch said hello to everyone, and then hung the Luoshu River map there again and began to speak.
He said that the ancient Heluo was all-encompassing. Everyone has the same Heluo inside, you find it, draw it as a river map, it is a river map, draw it as a Luo book, it is a Luo book. You write it into a sutra, it's the Dharma. You write it as the Dan Sutra, and it is the Dan Dao. Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and even some folklore and mythological stories are actually deducing the inner Heluo. "It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. It doesn't matter what it's called, "The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things." "We don't name it, it's still there. If we give it a name, it's a culture, a discipline, even a lot of religions, or a lot of cultivation methods.
Before we have thoroughly deciphered the inner Heluo, we know all kinds of different things. Only after thoroughly interpreting the inner Heluo, you will understand that there is only one multiplication method in this world, and that is the inner Heluo method. We, the ancient Chinese, have already interpreted Heluo as Zhou Yi, successively gossip, and even Qimen Dunjia, and also applied it to the governance of the country and the Qi family. The good is like water, and the good is good for all things without fighting. Virtue carries things, and Derun the world helps the people. This is the characteristic of the inner Heluo, and as long as we discover it and know it, we can find all the wisdom we want in it. So that life and death are freed, and there is no doubt.
Ma Xingtian listened happily and was very excited. Thinking in his heart, this Heluo, Zhou Yi, Bagua, and Qimen are exactly what he likes to study the most, and now the patriarch's lineage comes from here, and it is not easier for me to learn. So he raised his hand and asked the patriarch, how can I see the inner Heluo?
The patriarch said that when we mortals are born, we are originally pure, and the inner Heluo operates naturally, but the acquired consciousness is gradually contaminated, so that the inner Heluo is covered with a layer of black liquid, so it is not easy to see.
For example, there are koi in the river, but the water is so muddy that we can't see the koi in the water unless the koi jump out of the water.
If the water is allowed to flow, the flowing water will have a self-purifying effect, or the koi will be washed to the surface of the water as the water flows. This way, you can see the koi in the water.
The method of cultivating the truth must be made to move the inner first, just like a dirty water tank, which must be scrubbed with plant ash first, and then constantly rinsed with water to be clean.
This method of scrubbing with plant ash and rinsing with water is called the inflow method.
The method of entering the flow is the foundation of all practices and can reveal our inner nature.
In Taoism, Qigong is all inflow. On the "Lengyan Sutra", the Buddha said that the method of unraveling the six knots of the Chinese scarf, when it is opened from it, it is solved because of emptiness, and it is done in stages. If it flows into the stream, it will be like dust in the wind, and it will be completed in a few days.
The first chapter of the "Lengyan Sutra" talks about the mind, the second chapter talks about the insight, and the third chapter talks about hearing and seeing and taking nothing more than entering the stream.
If you enter the stream, you will have no heart, and you will not be bound by the heart. Those who should live in the stream without dwelling are the core of the Diamond Sutra, "should live without dwelling", and should live without dwelling and give birth to their hearts. It is necessary to enter the stream where there should be no place to live in order to show one's true heart.
The sincerity is pure, because of the flow. Although the karmic dirt is thick, if it enters the stream, it will die.
Therefore, the method of inflow is the most effective way to eliminate karmic obstacles and manifest one's own nature.
When Qi Yuhong heard this, he thought of the key points of Tai Chi taught by Senior Brother Yizhen in the morning, and thought of the idiom that the beetle is not bad, so he understood the truth that life lies in movement.
The patriarch also preached that the principle of Tai Chi is invincible. The inflow forms a ring and surrounds a valley. The rings formed in the process of inflow accumulate to a certain number and form a sphere. In the Tao Te Ching, this round ball is called the valley, and the empty valley has a mouth, so it is also called Xuanjiao.
The Tao Te Ching says that "the god of grains is immortal, which is called Xuanqi." The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth." Therefore, if we want to find the root of this heaven and earth, we must first enter the flow into a loop, complete the small Zhoutian, and achieve the Great Zhoutian. After the achievement of the Great Zhou Tian, there is also the valley, the Xuanqi is also there, and the root of heaven and earth is also there, and the door to the Tao can really be opened for you.
When the students heard this, they felt that it was always so difficult to read the Tao Te Ching before, but now they feel as if they have understood all the truth at once.
The patriarch then went on to say that the golden mean lies in balance. The meaning of spring and autumn is nothing more than retraction. There is a degree of correspondence, but it is subtle. To do nothing, stop in the middle.
The patriarch told everyone that Dharma Moses did not have a word, and he used his kung fu according to his heart. This meaning from the West must be straight-hearted. The way to be straight is to balance.
Forget the body and save the intention, and the intention is round. Up and down and seeking, front and back and insight.
The front and back levels are straight and straight. There is no front and no back, so the front must be short and the back must be long to balance.
Once the front and back are balanced, the heart can be retracted. When the mind is withdrawn, it is considered to be the place where the pure nature is pure.
Therefore, we must remember that the flow and straight mind are the foundation of the initiation of the practice and the key to opening the entrance.
Then the patriarch asked everyone to sit down and meditate, and one by one they showed everyone how to go straight to the stream, until everyone fully comprehended it.
Then he told everyone that you didn't have much time to study here during the summer vacation, so the most important thing is that during this time, you must really and completely master the method of going straight into the stream so that you don't come to Lingshan in vain.
From today onwards, you will personally arrange your own homework, and you will take the initiative to ask the three senior brothers, Yiming, Xingxing, and Yizhen, for advice on the key points of double-disc meditation. It is up to you to be upright and flowing.
Before you go down the mountain, see who opens the entrance first, and who enters the gate first.
After the patriarch finished talking about this, it was almost time for dinner, so he let everyone move freely and prepare to eat.
