Although everyone didn't understand, they were still listening patiently, and Dongzyzi was also happy to say some Taoism, as for how much he could understand, and whether he had a chance to understand it in the future, it was not for him to control it, let it be fate.
So he continued: "There are two kinds of attachments, one is what we are determined from the moment we form a fetus, like a drop of water on a snowy mountain, when it first falls in a certain direction, the general path of the future has already been decided. It's the things we encounter when we grow up, the feelings we have, the habits of thinking we develop, and so on, and these things come together to form the second type of attachment. The combination of these two attachments is as indestructible as a diamond, and it is like our shadow, which controls our consciousness at all times and at all times. A lot of times it looks like I'm making decisions, but in fact it's the persistence that makes me make decisions. The power of attachment is so huge, so deep, so stubborn, even if you know the path of all desires that are not self, all feelings are not self, all thoughts are not self, and all intentions are not self, and you want to return to the top of the snow-capped mountain, all kinds of obvious or hidden attachments will still pull you back in an imperceptible way. Sometimes I know that certain ideas and feelings are wrong and harmful, but I still can't help but feel that I have to do it. It's like a drop of water flowing down from a mountain, although it knows that it shouldn't continue to flow, but should return to the path of the top of the snowy mountain, but it still can't control its own movement, and still wants to continue to flow downward. This is the more obvious part of the obsessive role. And those that are not obvious have more effects. Although it is difficult to contemplate the mind, it is still possible to achieve results by following certain methods of observation and thinking exercises. But this attachment is extremely difficult to get rid of! You need to hone your mind every day, just like using one person to carry out wheel warfare with thousands of troops. Tired and depressed, but there is no end in sight. That's why it's very difficult. And who is an ordinary person who has nothing to do all day long to observe your own mind and deny your own thinking? If you don't have some specific opportunity to reflect on your way of thinking and mental habits for a long time, then it will be difficult for anyone to persevere. **^yd^z^w^dushuge.com*** And these specific opportunities are not good things, they are just things that are great, difficult, and even blameless. Ordinary people can't run away when they encounter it, so they still have the mind to look at their own hearts, and then waste their energy to fight against their own thoughts? ”
Everyone bowed their heads and fell silent, obviously disappointed. Only Grand Elder Snod was still asking, "Then the third difficulty town is difficult in habits, what kind of Cheng dù is it?"
Donghezi said slowly with a solemn face: "Persistence is like a huge iceberg exposed on the surface of the sea. Sturdy and indestructible. The habit is the iceberg that has not yet been exposed under the surface of the sea, ten times that of the iceberg that is exposed to the sea! It is not only strong and indestructible, but also can aggregate cold water to regenerate icebergs. It can be said that it is actually the basis of attachment, if you don't deal with it seriously, even if you eliminate the old attachments, there will still be more new attachments, and even more and more attachments, and finally you will drown yourself. And habits are the root of innateness. It is impossible to really get rid of the ground. Only by some means suppression. In fact, the more brute force is used and the more one's will is strengthened, the worse it will be! The only way to suppress the habit is to use wisdom! What wisdom I mean by this is not the ability to know oneself and to get rid of all kinds of attachments and habits. Everyone has this ability. Even the most stupid brute has it! This ability is actually used in every one of us, every day, and in every thought, but everyone knows it! To discover this ability, it is necessary to observe, analyze, and deny one's own way of thinking at a deeper level, not only to examine one's own mind every day, but even to carefully observe it in a specific way at every moment and every thought. In this way, this kind of wisdom that does not belong to the mind can hopefully suppress habits. 23hh.cc”
This time, even Snod was surprised: "Is there hope? Isn't this wisdom enough?"
Donghezi smiled bitterly: "How can it be enough? As I said, this road is extremely difficult, and it is not possible to succeed with great perseverance and ability. Among them, there are many troubles. A little slackening is a doom. How many characters who are both smart and stoic are either crazy or commit suicide on this path. Do you think it's a good thing to take this path? Not good! Not at all! Let's get down to business, even if you can gain the power of wisdom to get rid of attachments and suppress habits. But there will still be a lot of trouble. These troubles are everywhere and all the time, as if they are hidden in the layers of thousands of troops. This is the fourth difficulty -- overcoming all obstacles. ”
Seeing that everyone was secretly shaking their heads and retreating, Donghezi felt a little relieved: This is normal, otherwise everyone will rush to learn the Tao, and as a result, the mud and sand will fall down, and they will kill themselves insanely and shortly. Moreover, it is true that cultivating the Tao is not a good thing, because good things and bad things are an abnormal smile in all things, and there is no good or bad thing for the Tao that transcends one qiē.
So he smiled and continued: "Walking my path, all kinds of obstacles are endless and strange. You must not think that the so-called obstacles are strange encounters, in fact, the obstacles I am talking about may come out in any form. It can be a very strange thing, or it can be an extraordinary thing. Or because of an enemy, or because of a friend, or because of a subordinate, or because of a superior, or because of life, or because of meditation. Although the qiē obstacle is external, it can strongly induce inner attachment and habit. If practice and wisdom are like a causeway that restricts the flow of water, then the external obstacle is an anthill that breaks the embankment, and one anthill can destroy the entire causeway, causing the great waves in the heart to gush out, and it will be difficult to clean up. \\23hh.cc\\\ The worst thing is that attachment and habits are all things in oneself, which can be weakened and controlled in a certain way. However, external disorders either occur randomly or are induced by other external factors. It's completely uncontrollable, so it's hard to control all obstacles. ”
The blow immediately poured the hearts of all the earthlings, and only the Great Elder Snod still stubbornly asked, "So, is there a way to solve or avoid this danger?"
Unexpectedly, the voice did not fall. Dong Hezi exclaimed: "How can you avoid it? If you avoid it, you will not want to learn the true way in this life! A qiē obstacle is the most dangerous enemy, and it is also a great opportunity to expose the mistakes of one's own persistence and habits." It can be said that without obstacles, we cannot find the mistakes of attachment and habits! If we can find out in these difficult obstacles, we have been in various kinds of confusion from the moment we were born, and then we can make a wish to correct them. That's the right path for me. However, even if you go the right way, there is still no guarantee that you will return to the path. Because there is still a fifth difficulty: the difficulty of avoiding risks. By risk-takers, I don't mean the risks of success and failure. Rather, it is the risk of extinction! Walking on the path of my natal medicine fork, there will be many unpredictable risks and calamities that will come suddenly, and once you fail, it will not be a matter of losing your life, but the end of your soul! Moreover, my so-called calamity is completely uncontrollable, it is not that if you are kind-hearted, there is no risk, sometimes there are more calamities; it is not that you can avoid the risk if you are extremely smart, and in the end the calamity will become more and more violent; it is not that you can withstand the risk if you are capable. It is important to know that many risks do not arise from the outside, but from within yourself, and in an instant you can lose your power and become a mass of meat to be slaughtered! ^^ dushuge's first ^^ more or less, but absolutely everyone has it, and no one wants to escape! On the contrary, the more opportunistic the one, the more self-sustaining and strong, the more dependent on some superb spell items and even artifacts, the faster they will die!"
Wen Erhan said: "Why is this? Is there no way to suppress or avoid the calamity? Otherwise, even the soul will be destroyed, and the gods will not be able to resurrect!"
Toheko smiled and shook his head, "Look. You're trying to avoid it again. The more people who want to avoid it. Of course, some people may be able to avoid it for a while, but the longer they do. In the end, the more destructive the calamity will be! Because the calamity is actually the best opportunity to recognize yourself and return to the Tao! If you are a drop of water that was originally mixed in the river. Then the calamity is a force that drags you up. The river naturally dries up when the water drops, so there is an instinctive great fear of ascending. If you have the courage to face the calamity, and even reflect on yourself after the calamity, you will be able to follow this rising force to soar to the top of the snow-capped mountain. On the other hand, if you blindly follow the fear to avoid it, then when you rise to mid-air, you will be forcibly stopped in mid-air by yourself, and you will always be in a position where you can't go up or down, don't advance or retreat, and hang in mid-air all the time. This seems to be a beautiful sight, but in fact it is the most dangerous place, and at some point it will be blown away by a gust of sun and a gust of wind!
After listening to the five major tribulations, everyone saw that Donghezi looked solemn, not as if he was lying. After they all looked at each other for a long time, Elder Wenerhan, who was of ogre wizard blood, asked, "Since this path is so difficult to follow, why do you still take this path?
There are many immortal things in this universe, such as the immortal demigods that have been passed down by word of mouth, the ancient Titans, certain types of high dragons such as the Time Dragon, not to mention the so-called eternal gods and demon monarchs. **dushuge.com**
But Toheko smiled and then asked, "Eternal immortality? Who can really achieve eternal immortality? Are gods or demon monarchs really immortal? And the path of the natal medicine fork that I practiced was actually only approaching the peak of the snow-capped mountain, not really returning to the original peak! However, after training, the physique will change greatly, and the lifespan will indeed be extended to an amazing distance. It's just that this is also a cost, that is, the five major difficulties I mentioned earlier. ”
The people around him were all silent, until Snod asked curiously, "So what will happen to the Five Thunder Medicine Fork that we are practicing now in the end?" After all, everyone wants to live a few more years, especially the shamanic belief is very peculiar. They don't believe in gods, and the ultimate home of their souls is still a secret.
Donghezi didn't care about these problems, and directly told the truth: "I see that your physique is also transforming into some kind of high-level essence, and it is estimated that your life expectancy can be doubled to two. But there is still a time for the end of life. At that time, if your Five Thunder Medicine Fork Method has been practiced to the extreme, then you can directly reincarnate into some kind of high-level essence in the Mirror of Bliss. Just like after the death of the Holy Spirit, the soul flies directly into the kingdom of God and turns into an extremely high oracle. You are souls that fly directly into the Mirror of Bliss or the Unrestrained Wilderness, and directly become the essence of high status. ”
Seeing that the shaman's expressions eased slightly, Donghezi continued to persuade: "Actually, I know that you want to learn the natal medicine fork method with me, but in fact, you want to gain more power. But you know it or not. If you always have this thought in your heart, then you will definitely not be able to learn this method from me!"
Everyone asked why in curiosity, and Toheko explained, "Because your goal is to gain power, and the core of your mind revolves around this, so that your mind is narrow, and your mind is like a small container, full of powerful thoughts. And my natal medicine fork method, although it is not really in harmony with the Tao. But he is also trying his best to get closer to the road. The Tao is boundless and immeasurable, so if you move closer to the Tao, you should also make your mind boundless and immeasurable like it. If you learn this method for the sake of power, it will be like holding a bamboo basket to fill water. Pour as much as you pour in, and leave out as much as you want, and there is no last drop left. What's more, the Tao is immeasurable, like the sea. How can you carry it in a small container?"
Wen Erhan grunted curiously: "You must be broad-minded, weak** and persistent." Isn't this a good old man?" After all, there is not much future for being a good person in this world.
Unexpectedly, Higashigoko said: "Do you think that what I say about broad-mindedness is what ordinary people call the virtue of broad-mindedness? Do you think that what I mean by weakening **, that is, what ordinary people have obtained**, is a sin, so you must eliminate it? Hahahaha, you are all wrong! What I said seems to be in line with the teachings of some good gods, but what I said is a qiē. Including broad-mindedness, reducing self-reflection, eliminating attachments, etc. Is it in the need of some kind of ethics of good and evil? Hahaha, everything I said has nothing to do with ethics, good and evil! If someone says that Pastor Elilu wants us to observe the virtues of goodness, that is slandering me! What I just said. It has nothing to do with any virtue, it has nothing to do with wisdom and truth! I have observed the truth with wisdom, so I have made my own choice. For example, some people do not eat big fish and meat because they are taught by the gods, while others because secular ethics always say that gluttony is a bad habit. When they hear the word vice, they don't want or dare to provoke it. And I really felt the disharmony of the operation of the five internal organs after eating big fish and meat, and after eating some light dishes, the five internal organs and six internal organs operated in harmony and produced a hazy life force. So I guess the voluntary choice is not to overeat big fish and meat. Others are obedient, I am observant, others are avoidant, I am wise, others want but are forced not to enjoy for various reasons, but I make a choice completely voluntarily. What I say has no essential connection with worldly virtues. It's just that they look a bit similar in the form that they come out of, so they're confused. Alas, you've never observed the key point, so you don't know what I'm talking about. In short, you just need to remember one thing: Nothing I say or do has nothing to do with worldly ethics of good and evil, worldly virtues and vices, and so on! ”
Elder Snod next to him asked curiously, "But is disorderlessness a virtue or your voluntary choice, they all require the elimination of attachment and the control of habits. But attachment and habit are the fundamental source of a person's consciousness activities, and without these, I am afraid that a person will not even have a mind zài. What's the point of living like that?, and for example, the word wuwei is mentioned a lot in the scriptures you taught, but if it is really wuwei, what is the difference between it and wood and stone? Or does your statement refer to something else?"
Donghezi nodded and said, "You really need to explain this problem well, so as not to misunderstand everyone." When I say eliminating attachment or doing nothing, I don't mean that you stop thinking or doing nothing. What I mean by inaction is not inaction in behavior, but the deliberate addition or distortion of anything in thought, which is very complicated to say and can be discussed in detail for months or even years. I can only say a few words today, and you can listen up!"
