Chapter 037: The Meaning of 'Food Righteousness'
"I have this kind of strength at this age, but I haven't studied it systematically...... This is really surprising......" Acting Master Zhou was secretly surprised. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After thinking about it, Acting Master Zhou said, "In order to prevent you from being bruised all over your body by this 'Shilin Temple' itself, I will teach you some basic teachings outside this temple in the past few days." ”
"Yes. Lefa has no objection to this.
Although his main combat power is from this world of food, he has to admit that he still knows very little about the cultivation system of this world, and the purpose of coming to the 'Shilin Temple' is to learn and exercise this strength, and he doesn't care at all where he learns.
"Well, let's get started now. ”
Acting Master Zhou smiled slightly.
Ten days later, Refa was standing at the bottom of the stairs directly in front of the gate of the 'Shilin Temple'.
I thought back to the study and initial exercise of 'food righteousness' in the past ten days.
"'Shiyi' is actually a special kind of spiritual practice, like the 'meditation' of Buddhism and the 'meditation' of Taoism, both of which are the improvement and practice of the spiritual level. ”
"However, the spiritual practice of 'food righteousness' is not to seek silence and emptiness, but to keep oneself in a state of mind that is always grateful to the ingredients, to life, and to all things in nature. ”
"In the practice of 'food righteousness', the higher the level, the deeper the comprehension of the power of the mind, the greater the impact it can bring, and the earth-shaking changes that can occur in people......
Looking back, it's actually very easy to understand what 'food righteousness' is all about.
But understanding and practice are often far from the same thing.
Understanding the meaning of 'food righteousness', Lei Fa only spent less than half a day, and the remaining nine and a half days were used for exercise, but the results achieved in these nine and a half days were pitiful.
According to Acting Master Zhou, the spiritual practice of 'Shiyi' can be roughly divided into five stages, namely: initial enlightenment, small success, great success, consummation, and finally detachment.
He himself is in the third stage of these five levels, Dacheng, and he is still a long way from consummation, and the master of this 'Shilin Temple', the master of Zhenzhen Town, who is known as the 'National Treasure of Food Mankind', is standing at the peak of the 'Shiyi' cultivation and has already entered transcendence.
As for Lei Fa, it took him nine and a half days, and he only barely touched the threshold of the initial enlightenment stage, and he couldn't stabilize at this stage.
It's not that the comprehension of the Lei Fa is poor, but that the cultivation of the soul is indeed extremely difficult.
The practice of 'food righteousness' reminded Lei Fa of the 'Pink Elephant Theory' he had heard in his previous life, and the latter perfectly explained the difficulty of the former.
The example given by this theory is that when you are standing outside a room and someone tells you that there is a pink elephant in the room, and then asks you to imagine the inside of the room without the concept of a pink elephant in your mind.
It's very difficult to do that, because when you try not to think about something, the first thing that you don't want to think about will pop up in your mind.
Therefore, when you don't want to think of the pink elephant, your subconscious mind will think of it for the first time, and this is the phenomenon that this theory wants to express.
And the practice of 'food righteousness' is also a truth, when you try to stabilize your heart and mind, and try to maintain a sense of gratitude for all things in nature, any thought can become an enemy that hinders you, and even the idea of trying to succeed will interfere with you.
Therefore, although Lei Fa quickly understood the meaning of 'food righteousness', it was still impossible to quickly cultivate to a high level overnight.
"Okay, let's get started, remember the state you perceive, try to put aside distractions, as long as you stay in that state, it's fine. Acting Master Zhou stood at the top of the stairs with his hands behind his back, smiling and looking at Lei Fa, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs and hesitating.
"Yes. ”
Lefa answered, then lifted his leg and walked up the first step.
When he stood up the steps, he found that nothing had happened, as if he were walking up an ordinary staircase.
"It worked!!" said Refa with joy.
Not good!
In just a moment, he realized that his joyful emotions would affect his current state, but how quickly did the spiritual change happen?
By the time he reacted and wanted to regain his state of mind, it was too late!
Bang!!
On the side of the fourth step, a stone pillar suddenly ejected, and it slammed into Lei Fa's stomach with lightning speed, knocking him upside down and flying out!
Rayfa flipped in mid-air, and finally landed on the ground with his feet, but he still couldn't help but take many steps back before he could fully stand still.
Feeling a dull pain in his abdomen, he didn't have to look to know that his abdomen must have been injured because of the moment just now.
"Go on!"
Ignoring the pain in his abdomen, Refa put aside his thoughts and walked towards the stairs again.
This time, when he stepped on the first step, he learned the lesson of the last time, did not get carried away, and continued to walk upward.
But when he reached the fourth step, his thoughts were suddenly confused, and he was thrown out of the stairs again.
"Come again!"
Refa gritted his teeth and began to try again.
This third time, when he reached the sixth staircase, he was knocked flying.
Fourth, at the thirteenth square, it failed.
Fifth, eleventh square failed.
Sixth, fifteenth block failed.
......
In this way, just to get up this staircase, Leifa made nearly a hundred attempts.
In these nearly 100 attempts, almost all parts of his body have been injured to varying degrees, and if he hadn't consciously avoided key parts, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to persevere.
However, that's it, and it's much stronger than when he first arrived.
At least he can occasionally enter the state of mind of the initial enlightenment stage, and continue to improve in self-reflection and correction, walking higher and higher up the stairs.
This is ten days ago, even if he tries 10,000 times, he will encounter the most violent attack on the stairs from the first step without exception!
"It's done. ”
Half a day later, Lei Fa finally stepped on the top steps of this staircase and came to the side of Acting Master Zhou, and this time, he did not lose his emotions because of his success, resulting in a fall short.
"Being able to walk up this staircase proves that you have been able to maintain the state of initial enlightenment for a period of time, and you have successfully taken the first step in the practice of 'food righteousness'. Acting Master Zhou nodded with relief and smiled, "Congratulations, Lei Fa, these ten days of hard work have not been in vain." ”
"Thank you for your teachings. Rayfa thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"Come in, then, with me. Acting Master Zhou turned around and walked towards the gate first, and his voice came slowly, "Walking up this staircase only means that you have taken the first step, and the next 'Shiyi' cultivation is much more difficult than this, I hope you can also successfully complete it......
