Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 88 The road to being a teacher is long and difficult
After talking about the method of inner breath practice, let's talk about the so-called unity of heaven and man, the concept of the unity of heaven and man was first put forward by my Taoist Zhuangzi, and since then there have been many arguments in Taoist classics. Later Confucian Dong Zhongshu extended and put forward the theory of heaven and man induction, which was used to limit the power of the monarch and balance the court. ”
"Master, what does the unity of heaven and man mean, does it mean the ideological realm that we want to pursue?"
Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching that man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the Tao, and the Tao is the nature. Heaven is the Tao, the truth of this world, the law of nature, the so-called unity of heaven and man is to be in harmony with the innate nature, return to the avenue, and restore the nature. ”
"What good is the unity of man and man in heaven for us?"
"As a teacher, there is a little speculation on this point, and I will use it as a talking point here to talk to you.
Every few years, there will be a dragon in the world to turn over, in the sense of heaven and man, this is the emperor's immorality, the emperor is guilty of his own edict. Of course, this is a Confucian saying, and it is not what we and other cultivators are concerned about.
The teacher discovered that before the earth dragon turned over, everything would be sensitive, and he could retreat and hide in time. Only those who are the elders of all spirits have lost this spiritual sense. From this point of view, it proves Zhuangzi's statement that the development and innovation of the system does make the world more orderly, but it has also become an obstacle to the understanding and harmony between man and all things. ”
According to this, if we can achieve the unity of heaven and man, we will be able to regain this kind of spiritual awareness, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and turn evil into good fortune. ”
"It's an exaggeration, but if we regain this kind of sense, we will indeed be much more sensitive to the crisis.
The three religions also insist on the unity of heaven and man, and they do not give in to each other. Taoism advocates Taoism and nature, and pursues the unity of man and all things; Buddhism emphasizes the emptiness of the four things, restrains one's own desires, abides by the rules and precepts, and accumulates virtues by doing good deeds;
The later Confucian Zhu Sage put forward another theory, that is, to preserve the principles of heaven and destroy human desires, saying that selfish desires will blind people's eyes, making people unable to perceive the principles of heaven and earth, and if they want to see nature clearly, they must eliminate their own selfish desires. ”
It sounds like the teachings of the three religions are similar but different, and I think it is also the result of borrowing from each other and absorbing each other over the years. ”
"Good. ”
"Then should the disciples still take the Taoist doctrine as the standard?" the little girl asked cautiously, after all, she always felt that the righteousness of the remaining two families was also very reasonable.
"No, the cultivation of the Tao is a true word, and the three teachings say that you can all learn, learn from each other, argue with each other, and then draw your own conclusions. Since you want to cultivate the Tao, you don't need to trap yourself in a cage, and if you believe in the words of one family, there will always be a blind thing. ”
"The disciple is taught. ”
"After saying this, I will tell you something that you are interested in, the study of Yin and Yang Mathematics. ”
The little girl was very excited when she heard this.
"Can you divination?"
"Yes. ”
"Can you unsign?"
"Yes. ”
"Can you see a corner of the future?"
"It's okay to have a high Dao realm. ”
"Seeing the future, can you keep your family from trouble?"
"You need to be in awe of cause and effect, disciple, plant the cause today, he will get the fruit every day, the way of heaven is vast, and the retribution is unpleasant. ”
"Sounds like a Buddhist language. ”
"It is the study of Buddhism, the people of the three sects, since they want to be close to the Great Dao, they have to bear the constraints of the Great Dao. If you wantonly disturb the world with the skills in your hands, you will suffer a catastrophe. ”
The apprentice knew, and asked the master to teach the knowledge of yin and yang techniques. ”
"What's the hurry, and listen to the teacher..."
At the same time, Lin Mu, who had just undergone brutal training, was also talking to the unprecepted mage with a match.
According to the unprecepted mage, Lin Mu missed the best time to learn the knife, and now if he wants to achieve something, he must pay more, fortunately, the talent is not bad, as long as he is willing to endure hardships, he can always become a master.
It was under the call of the name of this master that Lin Mu began his penance. Keep swinging the knife and slashing until the action is deeply remembered in the body, and when it is really attacked, you can subconsciously make corresponding movements.
When Lin Mu was physically and mentally exhausted, the unprecepted mage would reward him with two rounds of sword qi to help him hone his will and cultivate his sword intent.
After such an operation, Lin Mu will be thrown on the carriage and enjoy the gentle kneading and massage of the little maid, only at this time, Lin Mu can feel the benefits brought by his status as a rich son.
"Teacher, can the act of scattering the wealth of the Hanging Temple make him return to the position of the Buddha's head?"
"It's impossible, when the crisis was in place, the Hanging Temple escaped from the world and ignored the world's Buddhism. If you are stable today, and you want to come back to do what Buddha heads, how can there be such a good thing. ”
"Then isn't there any meaning in their behavior as a fortune boy this time?"
"In order to repay the cause and effect owed for the year. At that time, the monk of the Hanging Temple was regarded as a model by Buddhism, regarded as a hope, and respected him as the head of Buddhism, but he failed to live up to the hopes of Buddhism. Originally, with the passage of time, there were few people who pursued the escape of the Hanging Temple, and if they escaped, they fled, and they lived in the shadows. Now that we want the monks in the temple to walk in this sunshine again, this is the price that has to be paid. ”
In fact, according to the original character of the unprecepted monk, at most he replied that it was natural to repay the debt. But if you say that, you always feel that you have lost your dignity in front of the little apprentice.
"The Way of Teacher"
In fact, Lin Mu didn't understand this truth, but at this time he was so tired that he didn't want to think, and it was naturally best to get the answer directly.
"Now, teacher, what do you think of the so-called heavenly machine?"
The unprecepted monk was a little nervous for no reason, and comforted himself in his heart: But the question asked by the little apprentice casually, what are you nervous about.
"But what did someone say to you?"
"That day, Senior Brother Wenxiu brought a bag, which concealed the so-called heavenly opportunity. ”
"Then the teacher also has to ask a question, can you believe Mu boy?"
"In the past, if it was this kind of question, I would usually answer: Master only believes in good things, and bad things may mean that you charlatans want to cheat me out of money. ”
"And now?"
"Good things are naturally joyful, and there will be a little expectation, and bad things are always difficult to let go, for fear that this scene will appear in the future. ”
"The so-called revelation of heaven is just a corner of the future, and the different choices we make every moment will make the future go in different directions. Therefore, there is no need to be too entangled, this corner may not happen in the future. ”
Lin Mu nodded yes, he was also a cultivator, and he knew that if the people in the three sects studied this way, the outstanding ones would be able to get a glimpse of the future. However, what the Master of the Unprecepts said is true, and what will happen in the future is uncertain, and with caution, it may not happen.
The Master of the Unprecepted Sect sighed secretly in his heart, it was really difficult to fool him when he encountered this kind of apprentice who practiced the Dao Method. In order to maintain a superior demeanor, you can't send it away at will. If Wenxiu asks this, he will definitely reward him with a burst of chestnuts, and then tell him to practice the knife well, and to be entangled all day long, how can he still have the temperament of being a monk who is not shocked.
This pair of masters and apprentices is also interesting.
As for the little maid, she was listening quietly behind Lin Mu just now. The little maid Yinghui practiced, as soon as the son asked, she guessed that this matter must be related to herself, seeing that the son cared so much, the little maid was also extremely moved, taking advantage of the time when the unprecepted mage turned his head to look outside the car, the little hand held Lin Mu's big hand tightly, at this moment, the little maid's heart was extremely stable.
Then he whispered in Lin Mu's ear: "Childe, I don't know what the future will be, but the servant will never leave Childe's side." ”
Lin Mu had the heart to respond, but he felt that he didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers, so he had to look at the little maid with a gentle gaze.
There are no words at this moment, but they are worth a thousand words.
What kind of human suffering is this, although the poor monk also wants to have a disciple grandson, but in front of an old Chunyang for decades, is it not kind.
In return, Lin Mu's sword practice intensity will be doubled tomorrow, of course, that's all for it here, and I won't mention it more.
After all, an unprecepted mage is not a bad master.
"Mu boy, this is going to Shandong, do you have anyone to visit?"
The speech of the unprecepted mage finally broke the charming atmosphere in the car, the little girl was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and Lin Mu looked disgusting like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
"First, I want to go to Qufu to visit the contemporary Yan Shenggong, as a model of literati, it is not possible to study without seeing him. ”
"Don't deceive me into ignorance, even though I have little friendship with Confucianism as a teacher. But as a teacher, I also know that domestic slaves and national thieves are not a good reputation, don't you want to use this to make a name for yourself?"
"How is it possible, the disciple is a kind man.
As for the second, I want to go to Jining to visit Sister Yingying's house, Sister Yingying has been raised under her mother's knees since she was a child, and she has not been back a few times over the years. ”
"This is a serious matter, but Mu boy, I have a word for you. ”
"Listen in vain. ”
"If the love debt is provoked too much, then the open and secret battles of these mother's families will be enough for you to drink a pot. ”
"Obeying the teacher's teachings is just a matter of the house, and the mother will never let the apprentice worry, so even if the apprentice provokes a few more, it is nothing. ”
After Lin Mu finished speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Lin Mu laughed at his teacher who was clearly a monk, but he took care of the apprentice's house.
The unprecepted mage is laughing at Lin Mu, a hairy boy, who doesn't know the stakes of this matter, the Demon Sect is powerful, and everyone wants to cling to it when the time comes. For the sake of your own interests, it is inevitable to make a stumbling block for other families, and it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and it will be up to you to do it when the time comes. Especially when he saw Yan Bing's little hand pinching the tender flesh on Lin Mu's waist at this time, the unprecepted monk smiled even more happily.
As for the little maid, pinching the son is just to express his dissatisfaction with the frivolous words said by the son, as for the mother's family, he has been raised by the housemother since he was a child, how can there be any mother's family. There are only a few sisters who grew up together.
