Chapter 214: Immortal Dao and Shinto Himself narrated
As for the division between the way of immortals and the way of Shinto, I would like to talk about it here. Immortal and Shinto, many people will be very puzzled when they hear the difference between Immortal and Shinto, because they don't understand and misunderstand it too deeply, even if they have practiced for many years, they may not understand the difference between Immortal and Shinto.
Just because the world seeks immortals to learn the Tao, do not know the misguide, this article for those who want to cultivate immortals, the following is a detailed explanation of the difference between the way of immortals and the way of God, with the truth of the cultivation of immortals, the cultivators of immortals are enlightened.
In this world, there is a distinction between the way of immortals and the way of the gods, and there is a difference between the monks and the lay people. Shinto is a way of being a person who is a monk or a Buddha who does not disperse after death. Shinto is divided into true Shinto and false Shinto.
Immortal Dao is a real person, who only talks about immortality in this life and no afterlife. (That is, the person in the next life is not you, he has his mind and family, you have your mind and family, only a little spiritual element is shared, but not the same person, so everyone has only one life, and that person is just an incarnation, such as Pangu incarnated by the Yuan Shi Tianwang, Pangu detached into the true god Yuan Shi Tianzun, etc.), the immortal does not say Yin God magic, does not preach, only crosses the destined people, and everything is based on humanity. Shinto talks about past and future lives, speaks of magical powers, believes in liberation, is free from suffering, talks about ethereal things, demagogues, and intimidates the world with teachings....
Immortal Dao Gui is born and this life is the state of the original true qi into the form of the true state, the true body is true God and the real person, the original true qi is endless, nurturing the spiritual root, the five elements of self-transport, should be four times, and yin and yang, at ease, there is no interaction of the immortal Tao Guiyin is based on the first humanity, and does not care about good and evil outside the principle; Shinto to good belongs to the organization and walks in the world, with compassion to educate the world, become gods and Buddhas and other detachments, and exist in the space of the element; depending on the Shinto is stuck in the feminine space, for the pseudo-Shinto is also called the small Shinto, mostly to harm the world, deceive the world, deceive the faith。
The immortal path is insignificant, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with it, and those who become immortals generally do not show swagger, but the way of God is all over the world. Nowadays, the comparison between a sendo monk and a Shinto monk is like a reishi mushroom.
If there are few immortal cultivators, there is no shortage of immortal cultivators from ancient times to the present, and immortal cultivators pay attention to immortality when the god and the form are together, and this physical body can appear in other levels of the world. In ancient times, there were a lot of immortal and sacred deeds recorded, at that time everyone was a true yang immortal, as long as you understand a little health lifespan can live for thousands of years, of course, it has a lot to do with the ancient environment, in the ancient immortals, it belongs to a relatively low level, Miao Ying Sun Zhenren's "Saving God Horror Breath" in the second candidate of the realm is recorded.
After the sage Yao Shunyu, there are still a lot of descriptions of the ancient immortals, and there are many immortal deeds when they prevail in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the immortal cultivation has: Fan Li, Qin Gao, Jie Zitui, Qu Yuan...... Lao Tzu Zhuangzi is also a member of the Immortal Dao, but unfortunately most of the historical records of Lao Zhuang's previous deeds were deliberately destroyed by people with intentions to propagate other doctrines. From the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were still some immortal and immortal deeds, such as: Zhang Liang, Yin Sheng, Hu Gong, Medicine Seller, Ji Kang, Sun Simiao, Zhang Guolao, Lu Yan's Eight Immortals, etc... Xiandao began to retreat from the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that it basically disappeared from the world.
After the Southern Song Dynasty, there were few immortal deeds, mostly to privately pass on the secret or hide the Taoist law in the scriptures, so after the Southern Song Dynasty, almost all the people who cultivated immortals were immortals, and they practiced the law of proving immortals, and there were few people who could prove the true realm of immortals.
Whether a Shinto monk becomes a god, a Buddha, or a bodhisattva, the physical body cannot be liberated, but the god is detached from the true yin and cannot act on the human world. If Shinto has to be taught, Taoism arose in the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the influence of ghost worship, Fang Xian belief and Huang Lao school, after a long period of evolution and formed five buckets of rice and Taiping Dao, and worship Lao Tzu as the Taoist leader, Lao Tzu was later posthumously regarded as Taishang Laojun by Tang Taizong, is the incarnation of Taishang Daojun.
At that time, because another Shinto organization Buddhism flowed into China and there were three Buddhas, so Tao Hongjing wrote the "True Spirit Position Karma Map" according to the three Buddhas, and then Ge Hong approved the formation of the system of the Immortal Dao, of course, this immortal is basically just the tip of the iceberg, compared to the ancient true immortals and true gods, it is really less.
The controversy between the gods and Buddhas has always been endless, Taoism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty, etc., in the late Tang Dynasty, the Jiao ceremony matured, and Taoism began to diverge in the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty during this period to form the two major sects of Quanzhen and Zhengyi. The Qing Dynasty began to resist Taoism, and it was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that Taoism began to develop again. Taoism belongs to the half-immortal and semi-divine way, and if it is cultivated well, it can be autopsied to prove that the yang god is the god, while Buddhism is completely Shinto and the like. If Taoism is destined for Shinto, it still has immortal cultivation, and if it is destined for immortal Taoism, it is a pity that those immortal cultivators eventually become gods, not immortals! Taoism only inherits a part of the content of the immortal way, and there are few people who become immortals, and there are many people who become gods, so they should be returned to Shinto.
From the above, it can be seen that the path of immortals and the way of the gods are completely different things, and they are completely practitioners on the two paths. The key to the distinction between the way of immortals and the way of Shinto lies in the attainment of the form of the gods. In this life, if you can't cultivate above the realm of real people, sooner or later you will die, or become an immortal or a ghost. Immortals and ghosts are the result of unqualified and unsuccessful cultivation, and they are shameless realms of immortals, but they can also gain the power of the law of management.
Immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and ghosts all belong to Shinto, and they are formed after death without a body, and you must also know that Shinto is divided into two categories: Shinto and Shinto. Cultivation should be based on cultivating one's own essence and spirit, one's own achievements, down-to-earth, not borrowing the power of gods and Buddhas, not believing in gods and Buddhas, and walking humanely, that is, the cultivation of immortals. The practice is based on sexual skills, sitting meditation into the concentration of nature, not seeking physical achievement, and dedicating oneself to the way of Shinto. Shinto practice is based on belief in gods and Buddhas, chanting mantras to invite gods, and using power to bless this category. Possession is attachment to Shinto, and most of the Shinto cultivators in the world are attached to Shinto.
Immortal immortality refers to the cultivator who unites his own divine form, his qi is easy to form, pearl yellow and black and blue eyes and square pupils, his appearance is fixed or he is still young, there is no mutualization, he can be self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and he will not die through calamities. The spiritual cultivation referred to by the immortality of Shinto, concentrating on cultivation during life, not dispersing after death, living outside the heavens, increasing cultivation with the power of eating incense and fire, and surviving in the feminine and meta-space, must be carried out with the help of stone elephants or other objects. Attached to Shinto, not seeking self-cultivation, with the help of divine power, unable to believe, ignorant faith, attached to God and Buddha, and was rescued as a Shinto slave after death. It only lives in the netherworld space, and cannot play a role in the humanity of the material world.
When you encounter the Tao, you should seek the avenue, life and death are not hindered, how can you stop at small arts. There are many believers, those who borrow strength, those who show supernatural powers, and those who recite mantras. Although people now don't know what the ancient cultivation place was like, now people's hearts have changed mutately, but demons are rampant. The land of Shinto, dense with yin qi, is not a real treasure land of gods and Buddhas (if you are interested, you can go to the temple to see how the yin qi is), it is actually the house of demons and nameless yin ghosts.
The seeker of the spirit, the demon spirit casts spells to help, and the person who withdraws from the offering is killed first and then saved, there are many means, if you are greedy and have no desire, but you don't know that you will repay what you borrow. The Fa-rectification makes people good, but it does not teach people to be ignorant and faithful, and they do not work for nothing. Confucius said: "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory." Outsiders, not friends of practice.
The sect of immortals, not the gate of immortals, the method of immortal cultivation and the cultivation of gods and Buddhas are basically not exactly the same. Few people really understand the content in "Journey to the West", and that is a real method of immortal cultivation. Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple, there is a pair of spring couplets on the door: immortal immortal mansion, and the sky with longevity Taoist family (ancient novelists know that the real immortal is immortal, not the modern immortal leaving the body). Sun Xingzhi said with a smile: "This Taoist priest is bluffing people by saying big things. When my grandson made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, he never saw such a thing in front of the Taishang Laojun's door. Here it can be seen that the way of the immortals is not comparable to the way of Shinto. Immortal immortals are not Shinto immortals, the two are different, but the world can't tell the difference. The Bodhisattva knew and said strangely: "You monkey, I don't know what to do! His ginseng fruit tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth; Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, and I will let him score three points; why do you hurt his tree!"
The ancestor of the earth immortal is not the earth immortal, but the ancestor of the immortal cultivation. Immortal cultivation is far above the heavenly immortals, you have the spiritual root of heaven and earth, this spiritual root of heaven and earth is unique to the human body, not close to the five elements of ancient novelists all know that the human body is the spiritual root of the avenue, but now! No matter how wonderful the Shinto is, the sterile spiritual root will not be able to live forever, and can only be detached from the yin.
"The Romance of the Gods" also revealed that the dead are gods, and the living are immortals. "The Legend of the Immortals" and "The Legend of the Continuation of the Immortals" also have records of the deeds of immortal cultivation, as for the records of the immortals written by religious figures, don't read them, they are not deeds on the road of cultivation. Immortals are human beings and have physical bodies. Gods and Buddhas are not people, but shelled gods, such as Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Daojun and others, all of whom are true gods, and cannot be said to be immortals.
Whether it is the Romance of the Gods or the Journey to the West, they are all books of secret practice, presented in the form of novels. Of course, I wrote this novel as a method of immortal cultivation, and told the world of immortals and gods to the world.
Immortal Dao and Shinto have their own self-cultivation. Taoist priest Ye Fashan is an immortal, based on the heart of goodness, and belongs to Shinto. Mr. Zhang Guo is an immortal, doing what he likes, belonging to the immortal road, and a true immortal. Zhang Ye and the two of them, each with their own Taoist skills when they were alive, Ye can't survive in the world for a long time, but Zhang can live forever, come and go to the world, and some people have seen it for a long time, and the same is true in the current society. And I was also fortunate to meet three true immortal people in Guangzhou, in order to find their own inheritors, often to test others, I was also tested, but unfortunately I didn't understand it at that time.
If the human body is a small world, if you can be liberated by the avenue, why should you choose the path of the path! The ancestors of some religions have never encountered the path of immortals in their lives, so they can only abandon their bodies and leave. If people can't survive, some things are more difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. If you set out in the name of freedom, you will say that you are unloving or lazy and incompetent if you don't do it, and if you do it, you will say that you are wrong.
From the perspective of casual fate, no one is willing to give up their family members to endure hardships outside the home all the year round, and they say that you are accumulating wealth when you contribute to the fee; you take advantage of the weakness of the world, lecturing for the sake of the common people in the world, and when it comes to tickets or fundraising, it is also called "being poor" or accumulating good fortune! No matter what you do, true culture has never been recognized by the public.
The immortal road is vast, the value is in the human body, I am also a person who cultivates immortals, understand this, I hope that all capable people in the world can become immortals and enjoy the universe.
