Chapter 40 Self-cultivation, governing the country, and leveling the world!
The east is white, Lin Junxuan slowly opened his eyes from the meditation, the bonfire had been extinguished, not far from her feet, the girl hugged the snow fox, curled up, lying on the ground, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. This woman is running around, appearing alone in this barren mountain and wilderness, living a frightened life, this may be the most restful night for her to sleep.
The girl was asleep, so Lin Junxuan didn't bother her. When she woke up, it was when the two were separated, and it didn't matter if she slept a little longer.
It's still early, and Lin Junxuan hasn't read the Book of Ancient Sages for a long time. Scholars always keep the scriptures in their hands, pay attention to always listening to the holy sounds, and refine their minds, so as not to dust their ears and pollute their minds. The girl was still asleep, and Lin Junxuan didn't want to disturb her, so she took the bamboo box, walked to the cliff on the other side, and stopped.
Lin Junxuan put down the bamboo box, took out the pen, ink and paper, and put it on a huge rock among the weeds. Standing with his hands on his back, Lin Junxuan walked to the cliff and stood up, and read aloud the words of the sages he was familiar with:
"Heaven and earth have righteousness, the mighty fill the heaven and earth, the gentleman, good at nurturing it, hidden in the chest, contained in the heart, evil can not invade, turbidity can not pollute ......"
To read the words of the sages, you have to read them aloud, and the scholars of Shigu only know how to read poems and books aloud, and even the teachers in the school ask the students to read them aloud. Most people who read books know it, but they don't know why.
There are many classics in the Fangcun Sect, and Songyu once took a book from the Zongzang Scripture Pavilion to Lin Junxuan, which contains not only Taoist books, but also many Taoist notes of the predecessors in the sect. Lin Junxuan can't practice the Dao Law Book, but Lin Junxuan can still read those miscellaneous notebook books. In the past three years, Lin Junxuan has been practicing, and he will read the miscellaneous books in these boxes. In the notes of one of the sect seniors, an explanation was seen read aloud by Guan Da. This senior member of the sect was a close friend of a Confucian leader of the Dayu Dynasty, and he wrote in his miscellaneous notes that when a scholar recites the works of a sage, he does not read them to others, but to heaven and earth. Heaven and earth have the spirit of Haoran, reading and reciting the works of sages, and the accumulation of emotions leads to the spirit of heaven and earth Haoran through the body, so that all evils cannot invade. He has met some truly cultivated Confucians, when he is angry, he scolds him, and he actually has the power equivalent to that of a strong cultivator, and when he encounters this kind of Confucianism, some evil Dao masters, they can really drink away their essence one after another, just like being slapped by the top masters of the Daomen. And the prime minister of the Great Yu King, it is said that he once shouted and reprimanded him from a distance of thousands of zhang, dispersing the essence of an evil sect master and shaking him to death.
This Fang Cun Sect predecessor wrote in the book that although the upright and upright Confucianism did not cultivate the Dao Law, he was not without essence. Their essence is not stored in the body, but in the soul, between heaven and earth. They communicate with the power of heaven and earth
The 'Dao Talisman' is their soul. A soul that is close to perfection can wave the mighty qi of heaven and earth with a scolding to attack the enemy. This effect is actually the same as the power of heaven and earth attracted by the master of the Heavenly and Human Period.
Among the several realms of monasticism, the masters of the realm of heaven and man and beyond pay the most attention to the cultivation of the mind. After this period, the ascension of the Dao is closely related to the cultivation of the mind. In the various realms of cultivation, the heavenly and human period is a stage of qualitative change.
The reason why this period is destined for heaven and man is the meaning of the harmony between man and heaven, and the meaning of heaven and people's hearts. In terms of spiritual cultivation, a hundred-year-old cultivator can't catch up with a great Confucian who has been immersed in Confucian classics all his life. Monks practice for hundreds of years, most of the time
It's all the way of cultivating, not the state of mind. Confucianism, on the other hand, pays attention to the perfection of the state of mind, and the fact that external objects cannot be added and all evils cannot invade.
For three hundred years, the evil way was raging, and among the hundred schools, the evil way was the least favorite of Confucianism. Confucianism advocates governing the country and leveling the world, and if the world is peaceful, the evil way will be neutralized. According to the idea of the evil way, the Confucianism in the world is naturally the best to die, and no one will say it in the future
Evil no longer prevails over good. But three hundred years of turmoil and evil ways have not been able to destroy the great Confucians in the world, one of the reasons is because although these great Confucians are decayed in shape, their hearts are complete.
Died in vain. So much so that people in the evil way can only persecute those poet families by controlling those separatist forces.
Because of the absolute superiority of Confucianism in cultivating the mind, many monks will go to the Confucian classics to improve their own mind and soul realm. Even some powerhouses in the cultivation world would come to the door to ask the great Confucian for teaching questions for questions about spiritual cultivation.
After reciting for a while, Lin Junxuan took the rice paper from the side, spread it on the rock, thought about it, picked up the brush dipped in ink, and wrote three sets of words on the rice paper: "Self-cultivation, governing the country, and leveling the world!"
Confucianism's lifelong ambition for a scholar is condensed between these three words. Looking at these seven words, Lin Junxuan fell into deep thought. The more great the Confucian, the deeper the cultivation, the more famous, and the closer to the imperial court.
And the point of view he advocates is closer to these four words. The great Confucian state of mind is cultivated to a high level, and he does not dare to say that he is complete, at least he is close to perfection. And the realm of Confucianism is obviously related to these seven characters.
"Self-cultivation, governing the country, and leveling the world, on the surface, it seems that the world is full of ambitions in the chest, but the real one should be more than that," Lin Junxuan lowered his head for a while, and suddenly raised his pen in 'self-cultivation'
Below the two words, write a line of small words 'self'.
Self-cultivation, cultivation is naturally one's own 'body', and this body is the meaning of body and mind. The vast majority of scholars in the world stop at this realm. There are many Confucian scholars in the world, but those who can really rely on a drink to dispel the essence of the whole body of the master of the evil way,
But only Confucianism can do it. Although Kairan is in the step of self-cultivation, only Da Confucian has reached the extreme.
After self-cultivation, the second step is to govern the country. Lin Junxuan thought about it, and after governing the country, he added a line of small characters: the emperor's body. The Great Confucian entered the imperial court, handled the government affairs, and assisted the king. The king is at fault, and the great Confucian should be admonished to repair the emperor's body and make the emperor's body upright.
The emperor bears the heavy weapon of the society and lives in the imperial court, and the imperial court is responsible for commanding the people and regulating the world, which can be said to be the hope of the people of the world, and the town is in the hearts of the people, so in ancient times, the imperial court was always called the central court. This center refers to the center of people's hearts, the meaning of all people, and the emperor is called the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven.
The so-called heavenly heart and people's hearts, those who go to heaven, and people's hearts.
The smoother Lin Junxuan's thoughts became, he wrote a book, and added a line of words at the bottom of the flat world: Cultivate the body of the people in the world! Calm the world, make the heart of the heavens peaceful! The world is peaceful, the people live in peace and prosperity, this is the body of the people in the world.
"Cultivate a few bodies, cultivate the body of the emperor, cultivate the body of the people of the world......" Lin Junxuan gently read out the three new annotations below the life ambition of the reader. Confucianism cultivates the spirit of Haoran and completes the mind, and all its mysteries are gathered in these few words. When you understand the meaning, your mind will be complete.
Lin Junxuan has been cultivating for a long time, and he has gradually understood the relationship between cultivation and the realm of the mind. People with high mental cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort, and they are not afraid of the demons in their hearts, which means that the demons will not invade.
Lin Junxuan remembered the general outline of the "Ten Thousand Transformations of Heaven and Earth", which said that people see all things, see all kinds of scenes, scenery, or love in response to the situation, or joy or sorrow, or sadness, and this process, on the surface, is only a change in people's emotions, but in fact, everything is stealing people's 'qi'. The reason why people get tired, get sick, and die is because they have stolen the qi that is the foundation of survival.
Honest Confucians, the whole body is heroic, they will not be affected by external objects, they are not happy with things, they are not sad about themselves, and they are not shocked by humiliation. According to the explanation of the "Ten Thousand Transformations of Heaven and Earth", these great Confucians do not invade good and evil, and it is difficult for all things to steal their essence. Many Confucians are over the age of old, but they are in good spirits, and some are more energetic than young people. Their voices are loud and not weaker than those of young men, their eyes are sharper than those of young people, and they live a long lifespan, compared to ordinary people. When asked about the secret of longevity, these great Confucians often replied, "I am good at nurturing my qi!"
However, although the Great Confucian can prevent all things from stealing his qi, he still has to die. This is because, although they can prevent all things from taking their own qi, they can't prevent heaven and earth from stealing their own qi, so they still have to die. Compared to all things, heaven and earth are too powerful, and the spiritual cultivation of the great Confucian is not enough to prevent the powerful heaven and earth from stealing their own qi!
"If you follow the explanation of the "Heaven and Earth Wanhua Sutra", in fact, the reader is also 'cultivating'. It's just that people in the cultivation world cultivate **, while Confucianism cultivates spiritually. They can prevent all things from stealing their qi by improving their own mental cultivation, which is already similar to that of a cultivator. If you go a little further and reach the point of preventing heaven and earth from stealing their own 'qi', scholars may be able to truly reach the point of immortality!" Lin Junxuan said thoughtfully: "It's just a pity that the vast majority of scholars can't even complete their self-cultivation, let alone govern the country. And the great Confucianism is entangled in government affairs, and the word "governing the country" alone consumes almost a lifetime of time in the world. And when it comes to the step of 'leveling the world', their physical bodies are already old, and there is no time for them to complete this step of leveling the world! Therefore, since there was a Confucianism between heaven and earth, I have never heard of a Confucian who can reach the realm of immortality!"
Heaven and earth gave birth to man, and people in the world are closely related to heaven and earth. If Confucianism can reach the point of cultivating the human body of the world, his mental realm may really be able to prevent the heaven and earth from stealing their own qi, so as to achieve the realm of immortality. It's just that 'leveling the world' is not easy to say. This flat word does not mean that the people are rich and there is no war in the world.
