Chapter 12: The Nine Sequences of Mind
"Master, you're back."
In the hall, I don't know who shouted, and Lu Jin, who was meditating, immediately opened his eyes.
"Master."
Lu Jin stood up respectfully and saluted.
"Hmm."
Zuo Ruotong nodded, thinking of Lu Jin's restless appearance just now, and took the initiative to ask: "Yesterday, I passed you the foundation building method, did you encounter any difficulties when practicing?" ”
Hearing this, it is a matter of cultivation, and Lu Jin is not a person who has something to say in his heart.
So I immediately talked about the difficulties I encountered in zazen.
"Master."
"The disciple tried zazen many times, but every time he first entered the state, it didn't last long and he would give birth to distracting thoughts."
"There is only a hint of sweetness in the nectar."
Lu Jin opened his mouth to speak.
Ever since he had experienced the first time he had zazen, it had become quite difficult for him to enter again.
Especially after being disturbed by distracting thoughts a few times, his mind gradually became agitated, but fortunately, he was not an impatient person, so he could continue to sit here and keep trying.
But the more he thought about it, the more difficult the situation became, but it made him uncomfortable.
"Normal."
After Zuo Ruotong listened, he looked at Lu Jin's appearance of being about to cry, and a little smile appeared on his face.
Then he raised his hand and pointed to Shui Yun next to him, and said with relief: "Don't look at your senior brothers so spirited, they also came from this step, and they will be like this when they first come into contact with cultivation." ”
"The reason why you have distracting thoughts."
"It's because your heart is not still."
"Zazen is a natural state, and if you want to enter it too much, it will backfire."
The voice fell.
Lu Jin's immature face showed a contemplative look.
After a while, he asked, "Master, how can a disciple be calm and not be disturbed by emotions?" ”
"Shui Yun, you will teach Lu Jin the beginning of the Nine Sequences of the Heart Method,"
After speaking, Zuo Ruotong looked at Lu Jin and said, "If you feel restless and distracted when you are meditating, don't think about anything, just keep your head down and recite the scriptures silently." ”
The Nine Sequences of the Mind is a missionary scripture of their Trinity Sect, and it is said that the Triple Birth of Reverse Birth is derived from the Mind Method.
Because of this, Master Zu once set rules.
The Dharma can only be passed on to the disciples of this sect.
Now that he is teaching Lu Jin to meditate during zazen, it is not that this mental method has any effect on stabilizing the mind.
Instead, through this, we can divert our attention and stop thinking with thoughts, so that Lu Jin can better enter the state of zazen, and when the practice is successful in the future, and the behavior and behavior are all from the heart, and there are not too many distracting thoughts, there is no need to rely on the assistance of meditation meditation.
Absolutely, if you can.
Zuo Ruotong actually didn't want his disciples to enter the state of zazen through this tricky method.
The reason is simple.
Meditation is only a distraction and does not mean that distractions are completely eliminated.
In a sense, distracting thoughts still exist in the mind, which will not only affect the quality of the nectar, but may also become dependent on the mental method.
Just then again.
How many people in this world are there who have just stepped into the cultivation and can be free of distractions?
Lu Jin is still young.
It is not suitable to go out and sharpen your practice.
Then the problem is, if you don't practice, you can't build a foundation, and if you don't build a foundation, you can't practice.
In a dilemma, he could only use this method as an aid for the time being, and wait until Lu Jin's foundation building was completed in the future, and then let him practice with him or other disciples.
"Disciple thanked Master."
The problem was solved, and Lu Jin clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
Seeing this, Zuo Ruotong didn't say anything, and after a smile appeared on his face, he thought of another person.
"At this time, Dongshan should be teaching him to build a foundation."
"I don't know what the situation is, I hope to take this opportunity to frustrate his arrogance, so that this worry-free disciple who knows everything and everything can see himself clearly."
When I thought about it, I seemed to think of something.
Zuo Ruotong smiled even more.
Shui Yun and the other disciples next to him saw this scene and subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
It's been a long time since they've seen this kind of smile on Master's face, and they don't know which unlucky ghost offended Master, but they don't have to think about it to know that this person will definitely suffer.
At this time, Zuo Ruotong didn't know what his disciples were thinking.
looked down at Lu Jin, who looked ignorant.
"Xiao Lu Jin, you must practice hard, don't live up to the expectations of your teacher."
"Understood, Master."
"I'll definitely do my best!"
Hearing Master's encouragement, Lu Jin said with high morale.
Zuo Ruotong was very relieved in his eyes.
What about getting numbered?
I want to be a senior brother.
You have to fight for it yourself!
He agreed, yes, but if Lu Jin himself didn't agree, he would be very embarrassed as a master.
.......
Yamashita.
Inside a modest residential home.
"Ahh
As soon as he said goodbye to Dongshan and put away his luggage, Li Muxuan, who had settled here, suddenly sneezed.
"No one is going to talk to me behind my back, is it?"
Li Muxuan muttered, but then he put this matter behind him, and sat cross-legged on the bed, ready to enter the state of zazen again.
The next moment.
As Li Muxuan had a premonition before.
He was in the groove in an instant.
Only this time, while his body and mind were calm, he could clearly feel that there was a warm current in the dantian, and this warm current was trying to go upstream along the spine, but it was blocked by a trick.
Seeing this, Li Muxuan knew that this was the first true qi he had just refined.
And he didn't need to deliberately break through the holes.
Just accumulate slowly.
When the true qi in the dantian is full, it will naturally come to fruition and help him open up the veins and points around his body.
Immediately, he put his tongue on top of his palate, and he was not distracted by the fact that he was not distracted by when the nectar would condense, nor did he think about what was there in the past and what was not there in the future.
Concentrate on what is in front of you.
Soon.
A mouthful of sweet nectar condensed in his mouth, and Li Muxuan still swallowed it unhurriedly.
Everything seemed so natural.
It's just that when he was about to refine the third breath of true qi.
Li Muxuan stood up thoughtfully.
He was thinking, the so-called zazen.
In fact, it is not necessary to sit, the point is to build a state of mind free of distractions and the six roots of tranquility.
In other words, whether it is walking, living, sitting, lying down, or doing other things, as long as you keep your full attention and your mind is free of distractions, can you still condense nectar?
If you can.
The twelve hours a day are not to say that they are all fully utilized, but at least they can refine a few more breaths of true qi.
Come to think of this.
Li Muxuan walked back and forth in the room.
He's not in a hurry.
But since he can quickly enter the state of zazen, of course, he must make the best use of his things and not waste his talents.
In addition, if walking, sitting, and lying down would affect his condensation of nectar, he would not force it, but would just try to see if it would work.
Immediately.
Li Muxuan, who was pacing back and forth in the house, began to try to build a state of no distractions.
But this time is different from the previous two.
Before, I was sitting, and my body was in a still state, almost undisturbed by any external factors.
And this time, because the body was moving, it was more difficult for the heart to calm down than usual, and it took more than ten seconds for Li Muxuan to enter the state of having no distractions again.
Another moment passed.
When Li Muxuan swallowed the sweet nectar in his mouth, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart.
"That's exactly what I thought!"
Li Muxuan's eyes lit up, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
