Chapter 52: Are You Cultivating Immortals?
"What an easy way you said it!" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he could, he wouldn't be distressed.
"I went to the abbot of Songlin Temple, and he told me two ways, one of which is to face the demons in my heart and kill them.
Second, I learned Buddhism to restrain my demons, and before leaving, I was given a copy of the "Prajna Heart Sutra", which I recited a hundred times, but there was no effect!
Last night I dreamed of that terrible ghost, it was even more terrifying, I saw it move, grinning at me! ”
"Chanting the scriptures should be quiet, not flustered, and you guess that after a day's work, you expect it to work, it's too whimsical. I have another way. Wang Andao.
"What's the solution?!" Li Xinzhu, who was lying on the bed on the other end of the phone, jumped up suddenly.
"Do you know that there is a method of cultivation called contemplation?"
"Thoughts? I, I think I've heard of it. Li Xinzhu frowned after hearing this, and tried his best to search for these three words from his mind.
"The White Lotus View, the Inner Landscape, the Great Sun View, etc., is a way to exercise the mind, get rid of distracting thoughts, and strengthen the self-spirit."
"If you have demons in your dreams, then visualize other things that can subdue demons, such as the sun, gods and Buddhas, and introduce them into your dreams to subdue demons."
"Well, you have a good idea, have you practiced it, how should you practice it?"
"I haven't practiced it." Wang An said bluntly.
"So how do I practice?" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.
"I haven't practiced it, but I can guess the method."
"Guess, this thing can guess?"
To put it bluntly, it is also a psychological suggestion, which has an impact on the mind through strong external stimuli, but it is only to have a positive effect.
One positive and one negative, canceling each other out. ”
"Say one thing at a time, is it okay, don't this demon in your heart hasn't been eliminated, and then provoke a new one?"
"Well, theoretically, it's fine." Wang An pondered for a moment and said.
"Theory?" Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone scratched his head vigorously.
"Then what do you think I should practice?"
"Then it's up to you, you have to practice the thoughts, the first thing is authentic, don't practice crookedly." Wang Andao.
In fact, he has considered the problem of inner demons more than once these days, and he has also consulted relevant materials, and inadvertently he has seen the idea of contemplation and has been inspired.
He thinks this method should work.
Li Xinzhu looked at the painting and was strongly stimulated, which stimulated a sense of panic hidden in his heart, when a person is afraid of something, he can't help but think about it.
It's almost subliminal thinking that few people are able to control.
Fear snowballs, constantly tumbling and growing, eventually crushing a person's will mentally and ruining his physical health.
The method should be infallible, but this idea is not easy to find, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to get started.
"Don't worry too much, it's not a terminal illness, there are more ways than difficulties." Wang An said so.
"Hey, that's light, I'll do my best." Li Xinzhu on the other end of the phone sighed.
After a phone call, I finally heard about the new method, and it was not in vain.
At night, before going to bed, Wang An remembered the chat group of Tai Chi enthusiasts.
"Maybe they'll have some good ideas." With the attitude of giving it a try, he posted a sentence here.
"Excuse me, does anyone know how to cultivate contemplative thoughts?"
After sending the message, it didn't take long for it to be restored.
The wind blew: "Someone actually asked this question, isn't contemplation a way to practice God?" ”
Broken Water Flow: "Practicing God, then you have to cultivate your physical body strong enough first, right?" Strength is king, and one force will drop ten. ”
Tai Chi Yan: "@断水流, what you said doesn't look like a person practicing Tai Chi, but like something that a person who practices horizontally." ”
"Taoism has a theory of double life and cultivation, both divine and physical cultivation, and comprehensive exercise of mind and body, I think this statement will still be very reasonable."
The wind blew: "The vulgar man is really not an ordinary man, we are still discussing the practice of Tai Chi, and you are thinking about cultivating immortals?" ”
"Xiu Xian, that's the storyline in the novel movie, I want to ask you if you have any antiquities or picture scrolls to practice contemplating ideas? For example, the interior picture of the Yellow Court is like this. ”
There was a brief silence in the chat group.
Tai Chi Yan, "I heard that there is a Tai Chi diagram on Taihe Mountain, which is said to have been painted by Zhang Zhenren back then. ”
The wind blew: "I'll go, really fake?"
Broken water flow: "Hearsay may not be credible, even if there is that, it is a treasure, just like the ancient version of the Book of Changes of Shaolin Temple, people will not show you." ”
"If you know about this, please let me know, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, I'll tell you when I know."
Tai Chi Yan: "Vulgar man, what level have you practiced Tai Chi to?" ”
"It's barely a step into the house." Wang Andao.
The wind blew, "Good guy, if you can say that you enter the house, you are generally perfect!"
Breaking the water flow, "Tai Chi Thirteen Potentials, how much have you comprehended?" ”
"I know a little about the method of unloading." Wang An said.
There was a brief silence in the chat group, followed by a thumbs up.
"Cow!"
Tai Chi Yan: "When will we meet and communicate?" You are in Hu'an City, after the Spring Festival, I happen to have something to go to Hu'an City, let's meet then, okay? ”
"Okay."
Wang An and Tai Chiyan set up a meeting for the Spring Festival in this chat group.
This night, in his sleep, Wang An did not dream of the ghost, and slept until dawn.
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Wang An's time to go out to practice was shorter than a few days ago.
Cleaning up the house and cleaning up the inside and outside of the house.
Before you know it, the Spring Festival is just around the corner.
On this day, although the weather was cold, the weather was brilliant.
Wang An got up early and started the busy day. Sticking Spring Festival Lian, helping the elderly prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
In the evening, the family gets together for a reunion dinner. Wang An also drank two glasses of wine with the old man.
"Xiao An, it's twenty-seven years old for the New Year, and I have to marry a daughter-in-law." The old man said earnestly.
"Mm-hmm, yes, grandma's cooking is delicious."
"This kid!"
After eating, I accompanied the two old people to watch the Spring Festival Gala and welcome the arrival of the New Year in the sound of firecrackers.
"New year, new beginnings."
Wang An got up very early, even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, his kung fu could not be left behind. The new year begins with the practice of the Five Birds Opera. After practicing the five bird operas, then Tai Chi.
Just after the practice, someone came to the door to pay New Year's greetings, and it was the neighbor next door.
According to the rules of the New Year in this neighborhood, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, go out to greet the New Year.
Wang An's grandmother and grandfather are considered elders in the village, and people have come to pay New Year's greetings one after another.
