Chapter 16: The Beginning
Wu Qingfeng was slightly stunned when he heard what Ji Tian said, and then recovered.
"It's rare, it's really rare, the first time you hear the truth of cultivation, you have your own understanding."
"Many people have a comprehension of the practice after embarking on the path of cultivation for a period of time."
Ji Tian nodded: "The Tao is everywhere, so everywhere is a dust world, the 'true self' we open the door to see is essentially a treasure in the dust world, but that treasure is sealed by the world and is difficult to fathom, the so-called cultivation is to open and absorb the divine treasures within the world." ”
"The so-called creation, birth and death is the manifestation of the gods, so if you want to live forever and have great powers, you should take the treasures in the human body, because the human body is essentially composed of endless worlds, open these worlds, and the monks will control and dominate these treasures."
Wu Qingfeng rarely thought about it in silence, and after a while, Wu Qingfeng nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, it seems that there is something mysterious inside, and your understanding is not simple." ”
"This is nothing, because this is the truth that is inherently so, and I only feel part of it." Ji Tian knew that his cognition was very shallow, so he was naturally humble.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were already dizzy at this time, everything was the world, what ingested the gods.
Ye Fan is okay, he is very interested in classical Chinese Taoist culture and has learned a lot, but Pang Bo is really a little confused.
"There are endless methods in the world, yes, but in essence, they are all about seeing the true self, and this is the principle of cultivation." Wu Qingfeng nodded, he already knew that Ji Tian had a deep understanding.
"Although we know the program of cultivation, we don't know how to practice the path yet, so we ask the elders to tell us how to do it!" Ji Tian sincerely asked Elder Wu for advice.
That's when you know the program, but we don't know yet! ’
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were confused, but they only felt that what Ji Tian said was so wonderful and a bit powerful, but they were confused when they looked deeply. But they also pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and they also wanted to know how to practice.
"Everything in the world grows with age, some can exist in the world forever, immortal, and some are just born and died, and even in an instant, a lifetime has passed in a hurry."
Ji Tian nodded, and Wu Qingfeng continued to talk about the truth of the wheel of life in the human body.
The world is born and died all the time, and every birth and death leaves traces in the wheel of life, and after the cycle of life and death, that is, the rotation of a year, the wheel of life is left with a mark of time, so life is one year older, like the annual ring of a tree.
Ji Tian's heart cleared the fog, and his mind observed the changes on the wheel of life, the sea of bitterness is really the sea of suffering. If you can't break free from life and death, you will inevitably sink, so you must fight to get out of the great sea of suffering in the world!
There is also a saying in the world of the Yang God, the world is a great sea of suffering, either to survive the boat and raft to reach the other shore, or to make people familiar with the nature of the water, let the spirit of the gods swim freely in the bitter sea to reach the other shore.
No matter how subtle the cultivation of this world is, the main thing is to follow the path of a solid physical raft.
"The wheel of life can be said to be the foundation of the monk, if you reach the legendary realm, keep the wheel of life crystal clear, no scars, no marks, and always be the same as the first birth, maybe there is a glimmer of hope to become an immortal."
"That should be very difficult, because we all live in the years and the world, and the world is changing anytime and anywhere, so our wheel of life is also dying from moment to moment, unless we can break free from the impermanence of the world and break free from the passage of time." Ji Tian said with emotion, this is Ji Tian's deepest understanding, impermanence is the fundamental truth of the world.
Because of impermanence, everything that exists must be destroyed, and everything that grows must die. Impermanence is just called impermanence, and its essence is a fixed number.
This sentence directly silenced Wu Qingfeng, he just said the wheel of life, how did you turn to the impermanence and years of the world. But after thinking about it carefully, what Ji Tian said made sense, cultivation is to overcome aging and death, aging and death are a kind of impermanence, that is, we must break free.
The so-called becoming an immortal is essentially overcoming old age and death. But there are many variables in the world, and if they cannot be overcome, then these variables will turn into terrible disasters. The Immortal King can't get rid of impermanence, even the Immortal Emperor and the Sacrificial Dao can't get rid of it, of course, these are too far away from Ji Tian.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were also shocked by the idea of breaking free from impermanence and time, everyone's birth, growth, joys, sorrows, and sorrows are essentially impermanent, and all people live in the years.
But impermanence and time are the root of death, if a person breaks free from all impermanence, out of the long river of free and easy existence, what kind of life form is that, it must be a free and easy immortal, is the real great freedom!
"Break free from all impermanence and time?" Ye Fan lowered his head and shook it: "It's so difficult to become an immortal, it's really unconfident!" ”
"Spring flowers are not autumn, cicadas are not winter, mortal lives are not more than hundred, if they survive for thousands of years, they can be regarded as breaking the impermanence and heavenly principles, and they are not immortals in a sense." Wu Qingfeng thought about it for a while, and finally said his feelings.
Everyone understands one thing, cultivation is gradual, breaking the limit of a mortal's lifespan of a hundred years, and a little bit of progress can eventually break all the certainty.
Because of impermanence, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death, and because of impermanence, it is possible to become immortals.
After that, Wu Qingfeng began to talk about what the sea of suffering is and how to practice.
In the next three months, Ji Tian and Ye Fan learned the knowledge of cultivation, and Ji Tian also had a lot of knowledge and truth to quickly verify, and it was easy to integrate it.
Next is Wu Qingfeng passed down the beginning of the Taoist scriptures, of course, cultivation also needs the help of others, Wu Qingfeng has been using the breath of life to help several people sense the wheel of life and the sea of suffering, and Ji Tian's subtle consciousness and superb spiritual realm directly sensed his wheel of life very early, just because he didn't understand the knowledge of cultivation, so he didn't dare to mess around.
In this way, Ji Tian's mind was calculated by using the I Ching technique to calculate and measure the various parameters of the wheel of life, and after feeling that the knowledge of the first chapter of the Tao Sutra was very consistent, he went to explore how to better open up the sea of suffering.
Ji Tian referred to Pang Bo's progress, waiting for when Pang Bo would open up the Sea of Bitterness, and Ji Tian would prepare to open it up.
……
Ji Tian slowly sat down and closed his eyes.
The wheel of life is essentially a world, and the interior of the world is an endless treasure of life.
But these life treasures are blocked by the bitter sea, and if you want to obtain the life treasures, you must decipher the essence of the bitter sea.
In his mind, knowledge such as Qimen Dunjia, mathematical collection, I Ching Shushu, Neidan Theory, etc., constantly analyzed the model of Ji Tian's own wheel of life in his mind.
'The infinite treasure of life is inside the wheel of life, just like the fetus is in the mother's body, and the wheel of life can be called the womb, the womb of life. ”
"These endless life treasures are the embryos of gods and demons, so the essence of the wheel of life is the womb of gods and demons!"
Ji Tian's countless wisdom flashed, and he suddenly thought of a model for constructing a sea of bitterness for cultivation, and he had a deeper understanding of the beginning of the Tao Sutra.
