I listened quietly below, the era of the end of the Dharma is Buddhism's perception of the future. In Buddhism, there are three great Buddhas. In the past, the Buddha, the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp, in Taoism, was called a quasi-Taoist person, also called a lantern Taoist; The modern Buddha, Shakyamuni, is the Amitabha Buddha that people have been reciting for a long time; The future Buddha is the Maitreya Buddha with a big belly and a smile on the world's affairs.

The breeding of demons here does not mean that there are demons and monsters everywhere, but that people's hearts are not ancient, and people gradually lose their moral bottom line, and even despise morality. For example, disrespecting parents, disrespecting wives and children, and so on.

When this situation becomes more and more, people lose their humanity and naturally become ghosts.

The biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism is that Buddhism cultivates the afterlife, while Taoism cultivates the afterlife, while what Xuan Hui does today is to allow people to obtain greater blessings and peace in this life.

To be honest, I admire him from the bottom of my heart, first, I admire his fraternity and kindness, and second, I admire his wide range of abilities.

But what piqued my curiosity the most was what he said about the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism.

Buddhism and Taoism are divided into two kinds, the first is to enter the Buddha with the Tao, the most famous is Sun Wukong, who learned from the Bodhi Patriarch and sold it to Tang Seng; The second type is to enter the Tao with Buddha, and Xue Daoguang of the Quanzhen Southern Sect is a representative.

Buddhism and Taoism double cultivation, is to pay attention to talent, can do this step, must be the fate of the person with the canopy, the life with the canopy, the biggest feature is that when learning the Xuanmen classics, it is countless times faster than others, to put it bluntly, it is the ancestor to give a job.

Xuan Hui's voice interrupted my thinking: "But, you should know that there are three thousand Dao methods, each with its own merits, you and my generation, there is no way to distinguish them one by one, I discussed with a few elders, and left three exam questions today, if you can pass it successfully, you will go with the Dao League, if not, please go back to the mountains to practice Taoism." ”

Xuan Hui's words are exquisite, neither humble nor arrogant. To put it simply, if you can do it, just follow me; No, it's time to go back.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Hui took out a large scroll from the table and said loudly: "Only the Tao gathers emptiness, and the void is also fasting." If the heart is not clean, no matter how much Taoism is cultivated, it is in vain, and the first rule of the Dao Alliance is that there are no distracting thoughts in the heart. The first question is the heart fasting. “

At this point, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone discussed, why choose such a simple basic skill?

Xinzhai, in fact, is meditation, is all Taoist beginners must learn, this is the idea advocated by Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi believes that the road to the void to the quiet, so the heart of the heart should be pure and quiet, in order to merge the road. Therefore, the true fasting method that Taoism talks about is not a vegetarian diet on the outside, but a clean heart inside.

At first, I thought it was easy, but it turns out that the hardest thing in the world is often what I think is the easiest thing.

Xuan Hui didn't explain anything more because of the opinions of the people in the audience, but just said slowly: "Listen to the bell as the number, the single bell starts the method, and the double bell finishes the work." ”

Xuan Hui didn't give us much time to prepare, and within a moment, the bell rang suddenly.

I hurriedly crossed my legs, rubbed my palms together, and relaxed my body, and Yu Lan, just as an escort, did not need to participate in the competition, at this moment, she became my eyes, for me to gain insight into the surrounding environment.

Meditation is not considered physical work, but it is a great test of physical strength and psychology, not to mention, just wheezing, must be deliberately controlled, must maintain the three essentials of long, slow, and even, otherwise, it will not be long before people become upset and irritable.

At the same time, I also want to calm myself down, I am better at using the method of visualization, and the content of visualization is basically based on the Tao Te Ching. In short, visualization is to put a movie in one's mind, but this movie must be free of any impurities, otherwise it will disturb the mind of Qing Xiu.

What's more, in this process, you can't open your eyes at all.

It is not so much that Xuan Hui is testing our basic skills, but rather testing our concentration.

I don't know how long it took, there was already a rough panting around, this was considered a broken achievement, and I was not much better, the dense beads of sweat on my forehead began to roll down, Yu Lan was just about to help me wipe my sweat, but I shook it slightly and dodged.

At this stage, the Taoist priest is called the ghost gate in meditation, at this time the breath is gradually surging, but the body is not balanced, and any wind and grass may lead to the loss of the whole situation.

As long as you can get through this hurdle, you will have a good way to go......
