Chapter 193: The Way of Ecological Balance
Haonan and Shanji watched as Master Li Xuan restored a broken coffee table to its original state, and the five bodies of admiration fell to the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Xuan clapped his hands lightly, sat down again, and saw that the coffee table worth 200,000 Hong Kong dollars had been repaired by himself, and he was in a much better mood.
Although Li Xuan now has assets of hundreds of millions, he doesn't pay much attention to money. However, he grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he is used to living a hard life, and he really can save money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is stingy.
"You guys sit down too!" Li Xuan said when he saw that Haonan and the pheasant were still bent over and standing at both ends of the coffee table.
"Master, we don't dare. Haonan and the pheasant replied.
"Let you sit down, you can sit down! Where did you get so much nonsense. Li Xuan couldn't help frowning.
After Haonan and the pheasant sat down, Li Xuan continued, "I'm not angry because you spend money indiscriminately, I can also understand your heart for me. I'm angry that you didn't grasp the core essence of the exercises I passed on to you. You see, there has been a slight improvement in the exercises you have cultivated these days. ”
"We are cultivating diligently every day, but our entry into the realm is very small, I don't know what's going on!" Haonan asked.
"You're putting the cart before the horse. Although the exercises I have passed on to you have different attributes, the foundation is to cultivate merit, conform to heaven and earth, and transcend heaven and earth. If you only focus on cultivation and don't accumulate merits, you won't succeed at all!"
"Do you still dare to eat rare animals? They are all important parts of maintaining the balance of heaven and earth, and if they disappear completely, it will accelerate the process of the collapse of this heaven and earth. Heaven and earth do not exist, how can merit come from?"
"Ahh
"Of course!" Li Xuan continued.
"To maintain the ecological balance, we should go to luxury, go to Thailand, don't eat extravagantly, don't live too luxuriously, and don't invite too much. Because of extravagant diet, it is bound to consume too much food; luxurious housing is bound to consume too much land space and building materials; and excessive banquets are bound to cause a huge waste of food resources. ”
"The long-term way is to be content, to take care of resources, and to ensure that resources are inexhaustible. If you love a lot, you will spend a lot, and if you hide more, you will die, so you will not be disgraced, and you will not be killed, and you can last for a long time. Too many hobbies are bound to cause a lot of expense, and too many collections are bound to cause serious losses. Only by knowing that satisfaction will not be insulted, and knowing that moderation will not be dangerous, so that resources can be maintained for a long time. ”
"Those who are masters of the Dao Zuo people, do not strengthen the world with soldiers, and their affairs are good. Where the division is, thorns are born. ”
"The man and soldier are ominous weapons, things or evil, so those who have the Tao are not punished. "Strengthening the world with soldiers and waging war is bound to destroy the ecology and cause a waste of resources. "Where the teacher is, thorns are born." Wherever the war went, the people were struggling to make a living, and a large amount of arable land was wasted. The use of soldiers is an inauspicious practice and is not taken by those who have the right way.
"All things do not begin, they are born and they are born, they are born and they are born, they are born and they are born, they are born and they are born, and they are born and they are born. "To be born but not to have, to be for the sake of not being ashamed, to grow but not to be slaughtered, is called Xuande." "To consciously nurture all things, to grow them without possessing them, not to slaughter them, is the highest virtue. ”
"There are three jewels in cultivating the highest virtues."
"One is benevolence, that is, the heart of love. Only with a loving heart can we not arbitrarily harm life and destroy the ecological environment. If people can always have feelings of benevolence and compassion, then all kinds of contradictions that exist in society today will not exist. ”
"Second, thrift, thrift to raise morality. This is one of the keys to our practice. ”
"Thrift refers to the moderation of the desire for life and the thrift of financial and material resources. Since ancient times, thrift has been regarded as an important part of self-cultivation and morality, the ancients said: thrift, the total of virtue, luxury, the great evil. Hard work, diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. A society in which extravagance prevails and the pursuit of pleasure is inevitably a society that is corrupt and degenerate and does not want to make progress; a society that advocates thrift and hard work is inevitably a society that is vigorous and full of vitality. In today's increasingly serious resource and environmental constraints, thrift is more conducive to promoting social harmony. ”
"Throughout ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, all those who have achieved meritorious deeds and moral articles have paid attention to cultivating their own conduct and discipline in a frugal life, so as to achieve self-harmony. In the minds of the common people of China, Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms of China, was not only the embodiment of wisdom, but also a model of personality cultivation. He was a prime minister, combining military and political power, but he maintained a frugal style of life. Even after his death, there was no surplus silk inside and no surplus wealth outside, leaving only 800 mulberry trees and 15 acres of thin fields at home, which were used to maintain the basic life of his wife and children. As he said in the Book of Commandments: The journey of a husband and a gentleman is to cultivate oneself quietly, to cultivate virtue through frugality, and to achieve far-reaching ambition without tranquility. It can be seen that a frugal life can make people pure and have few desires, so that people will not cling to wealth, power, and other things outside the body, and go beyond those short-term utilitarian goals, so as to establish the ambition to pursue a higher value of life; frugality can also make people not be confused by the flashy life, so that they can temper their own sexual temperament, and cultivate a transcendent soul and outstanding character. ”
"The virtue of frugality is also an important part of our practice to achieve the unity of heaven and man, and it contains the great wisdom of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. As soon as people are born, they begin to ask for food, energy and other necessities from the water blue star, and the resources provided by nature to human beings are limited, many resources are non-renewable, if everyone indulges material desires and destroys heavenly things, it will inevitably increase the burden of the water blue star, cause environmental degradation, and objectively deprive future generations of the right to live. For a long time, people have blindly pursued economic development and grabbed from nature without restraint, creating a lot of material wealth at the same time paying the price of environmental degradation and ecological imbalance, and the harmonious relationship between man and nature has been seriously damaged. ”
"As an immortal cultivator, we must always insist on conserving resources, improving the efficiency of resource utilization, and constantly enhancing the harmony between man and nature. ”
"Three said that they didn't dare to be the first in the world. Just don't take the lead in doing things that damage the ecological environment, lead the evil wind, and increase the crime. ”
Therefore, protecting rare animals, rescuing endangered animals, and protecting natural resources is a major event related to human development and an urgent task that brooks no delay. ”
"Then what should we do?" Although Haonan and the pheasant didn't understand too clearly, they knew that the protection of wild animals was closely related to their own immortal cultivation, and they immediately paid attention to it.
