79. Morality is passed down to the world
"When Lao Tzu saw the person who bowed to him: square face, thick lips, thick eyebrows, end nose, majestic but not cold, gentle but not flattering, he knew that this person was not comparable to ordinary people, so he deliberately asked tentatively: 'Lord Guan Yin bows to the poor old man and performs extraordinary courtesy!
Guan Yin was afraid of missing this opportunity, so he hurriedly made a verbal request: 'Old man, the saint is also!, please stay in the Guan House for a few days to indicate the path of cultivation. ’
Lao Tzu continued to sell and said, 'What is the sacredness of the old man, who is so loved by you?
Guan Yin no longer dared to conceal it: "Guan Yin is not talented; he is good at observing astronomy and knows a little about the changes; a few days ago, when he saw the purple qi coming from the east, he knew that there was a saint traveling westward, and he saw that the purple qi was mighty, rolling like a dragon, and it was 30,000 miles long; he was even more certain: the one who came was holy and supreme, and he was not an ordinary saint; he also saw the head of the purple qi, surrounded by white clouds, and he knew that the saint had white hair and was the appearance of an old man; before seeing the purple qi again, there was a green ox and the stars were holding each other, and he learned that the saint came by the green ox. ’”
"Hahahaha·······" After hearing this, Lao Tzu also laughed: "Win the prize! The old man also heard your name a long time ago, and this is not far away, I came to visit!"
Guan Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed. Afterwards, Guan Yin led Lao Tzu back to his home, invited Lao Tzu to sit down, burned incense, performed the rites of his disciples, and pleaded again: 'Sir, this is the great sage of today! ’
Sir, why don't you write your 'sage wisdom' into a book? Although Guan Yin has shallow knowledge, he wishes to pass on to future generations and benefit all generations!"
Therefore, Lao Tzu to: the rise and fall of the dynasty, the success or failure of the people, the safety and misfortune of the people as a reference, trace its source, the first and second two articles, a total of 5,000 words; the first part of the beginning is: 'the Tao can be the way, not the constant way, the name can be named, not the constant name', so people call the "Tao Jing"; the beginning of the next part is: "the upper virtue is not virtuous, it is to have virtue; the lower virtue does not lose virtue, it is to have no virtue", so people call it "Tao Te Ching", collectively known as "Tao Te Ching".
The Tao Jing talks about the origin of the universe, including the opportunity for the change of heaven and earth, and the wonder of yin and yang changes; ”
After speaking, Li Tian took out a piece of jade slip from his arms and threw it to the Great Elder Li Jia: "This is the original text of the Daozang Tao Te Ching, although it may not be suitable for your Sumeru realm, but it can be used for some reference!"
"Master?······" Looking at Li Lan again, she pouted and made a wordless protest.
Looking at Li Lan's expression, Li Tian angrily reprimanded: "What can you see as an acquired martial artist? People who are too eager for quick success and quick profit will often backfire!"
Seeing that the master was standing angry, Li Lan could only lower her head and dare not speak.
Laozi's thoughts, which were later inherited by Zhuangzi, eventually formed the core of traditional Chinese thought and culture, together with Confucianism and later Buddhism, namely: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
The three schools of thought: Confucianism: 'to establish one's life as one's ancestry', as the Buddha's family', as 'to cultivate one's temperament and obey orders', and my Taoism to 'take the refinement of one's life as one'.
You are here in the Sumeru world of Buddhism, but you can also hear it: I am a disciple of Taoism, and I know very little about your Buddhist exercises and etiquette.
All I know is that we call meditation 'meditation', and the Buddhists say 'zazen', which is Sanskrit dhyana, which means meditation or meditation.
Zazen, that is, sitting and practicing meditation, is one of the main methods of Buddhist practice; meditation is also meditation, and cultivation can lead to wisdom; Buddhism says: 'Blessing and wisdom double cultivation', although I don't know what this 'blessing and wisdom double cultivation' means, but I also have a saying of 'double cultivation of life', I think there should be an intercommunication in the middle, right?
I have here the secret method of Buddhism in our world: the method of 'Four Meditations and Eight Determinations', which should be of great use to you, you can study it well!" After speaking, Li Tian took out a piece of jade slip from his arms and threw it to Li Jia.
"I can help so much about the exercises, and it will depend on you in the future, the ten of you will be the elders of the Yin Yang Sect in the future!" Seeing Li Jia carefully put away the two pieces of jade, Li Tian continued: "Next, let's talk about the location of the Yin Yang Sect, let's not engage in that specialization, go back to the ten of you and Li Lan, and the twelve gods and go to the Guiyuan District of the five major regions to see, if there is any place;
"Your Majesty!" replied the crowd.
"It stands to reason that it's inappropriate for you to call me Your Majesty!" Li Tian said quietly, but soon he justified himself: "But I still like you to call me that!
Li Tian said this, there is no beginning and no end, and no one of you understands what's going on? So, the ten elders of the Ten Sect Transmission Gong invariably looked at Li Lan, and when Li Lan saw it, she understood it and continued to carry forward her fine style of asking questions if she didn't understand: "Master, what is so good? Can you tell me about it?"
"These are all the basic knowledge of the cultivation realm that we have there, and I originally wanted to tell you. Li Tian said: "Once you enter the Qi refining period, even if you enter the cultivation realm, but because many of them are still wandering in the secular world, the secular people call them: 'Old Daoist, Taoist priest, or even bull-nosed old Daoist or something', and fellow Daoists call each other 'Daoist brother, Daoist friend';
When they succeed in building the foundation, they enter the Tao, but for the continuation of the incense of the sect, they have to wander around the secular world and recruit excellent disciples; in the secular world, people call them 'guru, immortal elder, immortal master or something', their peers call them Taoist friends, and juniors call them 'masters, uncles, etc.';
During the Jindan period, the juniors were uniformly called 'what what ancestors', and the peers were still the same;
In the infancy of the Yuan, the honorific title is 'what is the true monarch', and the same is true of his peers;
When you reach the realm of the virtual period, you will be powerful, as long as there is no qualitative nature, it will be collectively referred to: 'what is true one'. ”
"Master, two questions!" Li Lan interjected again, and said with two fingers up.
"Ask, if you don't ask clearly, you're not in the mood to continue listening. Li Tian can faintly feel Li Lan's feelings, but he will not accept any teacher-student love, which is mostly from the situation of Korean dramas.
"The first question: I've been listening to it for a long time, and I haven't heard what these have to do with us calling you 'Junshang'?" In fact, Li Lan also guessed that the Yuan Infant Period, isn't it called Zhenjun? It's just that Li Tian said it again, it's not appropriate, and this made Li Lan confused again.
"Your Majesty, it is our place, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the courtiers' honorific titles for the monarchs of the vassal states; Li Tian smiled and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am also unavoidable!"
"Then Master····· What realm are you in now?" Li Lan asked timidly, and at the same time she kept shouting in her heart: "Jin Dan, Jin Dan..."
Not only her, but also the top ten elders of the Gong Transmission Sect, kept shouting in their hearts.
"Hey, it's a shame to say it!" Li Tian let out a long sigh, and everyone pulled out the cold with his sigh: "Actually, it's nothing, in our place: as a sect, it is the outpost of the sect in the secular world, and the qi refining period is enough; and the so-called sect things in the cultivation realm are also taken care of during the foundation building period, and the Jindan period will generally sit in the sect, but it is also in rotation, after all, cultivation is our ultimate goal; the reason why we have to maintain the sect and the sect all the time is also for the sake of our own inheritance!"
"I don't know if there is a chance in this life to get out of this Sumeru realm!" There was a trace of emotion wafting in the words: "Maybe one day, only you will prove my existence!"
"Master······" Li Lan couldn't help but redden, and tears reflected in her eyes.
"The so-called: the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Li Tian immediately looked bright: "In the middle of the poor Dao Shidan, there are still a few hundred years of longevity, and I don't believe that I will be trapped in this Sumeru realm." ”
"Wow! Shi Dan!" Li Lan jumped up: "Master is really in the Jindan stage, and it is also in the middle stage of Shidan, I am scared to death of the baby! Master is so powerful!"
"Shi Dan is amazing, what should the Yuan Infant and the God do?" Li Tian also couldn't cry or laugh.
"Anyway, Master is the most powerful!" Li Lan quibbled, "By the way, Master, there is a second question: Why do you say that there is no qualitative call for 'True One' during the practice period?
"Is this a question for you?" Li Tian asked with a smile.
Li Lan pouted at Li Tian and didn't say anything, and Li Tian didn't continue to tease her: "If you don't have a qualification, it means that you still have room to continue practicing; ”
"Are you dead? After cultivating for so long, is it still impossible to escape death?" Li Lan asked sadly when she heard this.
"Can you not interject?" Li Tian scolded: "Practice the Void Harmony Dao, practice the Void Harmony Dao, they are all in harmony with the Dao, kill a fart!"
"Then Master, you still say, Dao, it's over!" Li Lan was unconvinced.
"Is it wrong? Is it wrong? ·······" Li Tian was also asked, and asked rhetorically over and over again.
"That's right! That's right! Master's right! Okay!" Li Lan thought that Li Tianji was poor, so she had to admit her mistake unconvinced.
At this time, Li Tian was also confused, and nodded at Li Lan with a smile: "I'm all confused by you!"
"There are big and small ways. The so-called: Heaven has the way of heaven, there is the way of the earth, there is humanity of man, there is the way of ghosts, there is also the way of flowers and plants, there is also the way of mountains and rivers, there is the way of birds and birds, the way of beasts and beasts, the way of God has the way of God, the way of demons, the way of the Tao, the way, the way, the way, the way,
In the 'Tribulation Period' of the stage of cultivating the Void and Void Convergence Dao, there are 39 Tribulations, 69 Tribulations, and 99 Tribulations.
