Chapter 404: Nature

The Changqing Taoist also said: "The Tao is natural, and if you are in nature, you will naturally attain the Tao." It is not forced to learn to die. Do you understand?"

These words are extremely awkward, the Taoist machine is deeply hidden, and others only feel dizzy when they hear it, how to understand their meaning?

Xiao Yi's Taoism is profound, and when he understands it, he said abruptly: "The master has good intentions, and the disciple knows it at this time, and he is extremely ashamed." ”

The way of Taoism is the way of nature. Since it is the way of nature, it must be obtained by the law of nature. In other words, the Tao is everywhere, and everyone has the Tao in their hearts. Although the ways of the world are different, they are all the ways of nature. If you listen to the teachings of others and follow the way of thinking of others, you will lose your natural nature, and the path of enlightenment will become the way of others, not the way of nature.

The beginning of the Tao Te Ching says: "The Tao is the Tao, and the Tao is not the Tao." "The Word can be expounded, but the Word that can be expounded is not the true Word.

Therefore, to cultivate the Dao Dharma, one must self-contemplate enlightenment. Fat chefs pay attention to understanding, and they are also related to this.

Xiao Yi instantly understood the intention of the Changqing Daoist, and his understanding of the Dao Law deepened again.

Seeing Xiao Yi's demeanor, the Changqing Daoist smiled with relief: "You can understand the meaning of my words, which shows that your Taoist cultivation is also good." ”

Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "Master praised it falsely. There is still a lot of confusion in the disciple's heart, and he cannot understand it for a while. ”

The Changqing Taoist said: "Don't be in a hurry, the way of nature must be understood with a natural heart, not in a hurry." ”

Xiao Yi was stunned and said, "The disciple has been taught." ”

Changqing Daoist is every sentence, and every sentence can make Xiao Yi feel something. At this time, Xiao Yifang felt the difference between Dao disciples and Dao disciples.

After a pause, the Changqing Daoist suddenly said with a straight face: "For the teacher, I understand, you are disappointed in Taoism in your heart, and you can't tolerate the distortion of Taoism. ”

Xiao Yi was said to be thoughtful, and nodded silently.

Seeing this, the Changqing Daoist said, "This means that your Dao method has not yet reached the point of great success. ”

Xiao Yi was stunned, didn't understand what it meant, and said, "Please ask Master for advice." ”

The Changqing Taoist said: "This is the inevitable process that you will go through on the way to the Tao. When you were young, you were arrogant, and you were also struggling with your thoughts at this stage, and you were in pain. Later, I really saw a lot and understood it thoroughly, and I realized it. ”

Xiao Yi knew that the Changqing Daoist was deliberately enlightened, and he was busy listening.

The Changqing Taoist said: "The way of nature must be understood naturally, and it is indeed not to be forced." However, people are impetuous, and they are so natural that they have to force it. ”

Xiao Yi was puzzled: "Once you force it, isn't it against the way of nature?"

The Changqing Taoist said meaningfully: "The violation you see is only the immediate violation, but you ignore the long-term nature. ”

Xiao Yi was immediately confused and incomprehensible, and shook his head slightly.

The Taoist said: "The Taoist law of nature is not only a treasure of human civilization, but also a supreme law that guides human beings to survive forever in the complex universe. If such a wonderful method is lost, it will be a great loss for mankind. Therefore, it is inevitable to start a sect, recruit disciples, and forcibly teach the world's humane law. ”

Xiao Yi was puzzled and said, "In this way, isn't it against the will of nature? The Dao taught in this way is not the real Dao Fa, isn't it the opposite of what you want, and it goes against your wishes?

Xiao Yi asked three questions in a row, which shows the vibration of his heart.

The Changqing Daoist smiled slightly, stared at Xiao Yi, and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you enlightened?"

Xiao Yi was surprised: "What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that he had a moment of enlightenment, the Changqing Daoist asked, "If there is no Chongzhen Sect, how can you and I attain the Tao?"

Xiao Yiden suddenly exclaimed, "Yes, if there is no Chongzhen Sect, how can I attain the Dao?"

The Changqing Taoist said: "It is against the original intention of the Tao to inherit the Tao in such a way, but only with this method can the world have the opportunity to realize and attain the Tao." Even if only one out of a thousand people has attained enlightenment, it is worth it. ”

This statement subverted many of Xiao Yi's past thoughts, and he was stunned on the spot.

The Taoist of Changqing said: "Taoism was born to enter the WTO. The world is complicated, and there is a difference between the ideal world of Taoism, and if you want to finally realize the world of Taoism, you must take some extraordinary measures. This is forced by desperation and is also necessary for WTO accession. ”

Xiao Yi nodded in agreement. He had a similar idea when he decided to become a saint, so he understood it as soon as he said it, and he went deeper: "Yes, as long as there is one saint in the world, it is enough, so why should everyone in the world be saints. ”

The Changqing Daoist was quite surprised by Xiao Yi's quick understanding, and thought: "This son really has an excellent understanding. He said approvingly: "It is indeed not easy for you to think of the saint level. ”

After a pause, he added: "There are many things in the world, and we know that they are 'wrong', but we have to do them. Because it is only through the 'wrong' that the 'right' can be discovered. Today's Taoists seek 'right' in the midst of 'wrong'. It can be said that Taoism has been 'wrong' since the beginning of the sect. However, without such a 'mistake', it cannot create Taoist saints in later generations. ”

Xiao Yi suddenly felt very ashamed, and said in his heart: "Taoism pays attention to inaction, and doing something is 'wrong'." Only by doing nothing can we show the true inaction. Although I understand the meaning of Taoism to enter the world, I still use the heart of birth to deal with the matter of entering the world. In vain, I thought I had attained the Tao, and I also used this method to persuade Changjing Zhenren, and when I think about it today, it is really ridiculous. ”

Seeing his expression, the Changqing Daoist smiled and said, "Are you still going to leave the Taoist family now?"

Xiao Yi was speechless for a while, unable to answer. He had already made up his mind to leave Taoism, but after listening to the Taoist of Changjing, his heart couldn't help but waver. After a pause, Fang said: "The disciple has practiced the way of other families, and the Dao method is no longer pure, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be a Taoist disciple anymore." ”

The Changqing Daoist laughed and asked, "Do you remember, what does the twenty-fifth chapter of the Tao Te Ching say?"

Xiao Yi didn't know what it meant, and recited truthfully: "There are things that are mixed, and they are born from nature." Lonely, independent and unchanging, Zhou Xing without dying, can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, the strong word is called the way, and the strong name is big. ”

The Changqing Daoist nodded and said: "The Tao is innate, all-encompassing, try to ask the knowledge of the world, which kind of knowledge is not in the Tao?"

Xiao Yi was immediately stunned. At this time, if someone from another family is present, he will definitely not accept it and reprimand the Changqing Taoist for arrogance. However, Xiao Yi is different, he has dabbled in the ways of various families, and has also thought about the connection between the ways of various schools countless times, and has a deep understanding of the "Tao", knowing that what the Changqing Daoist said is true.

It's just that what shocked him was that the "Tao" in the mouth of the Changqing Taoist had surpassed the current Taoist teaching. This "Tao" cannot be elaborated, cannot be named, and is born from nature. The way of the hundred schools of thought is all in the "Tao".

In the past, he thought that the Taoist way was grand and broad, and it could be used as a guide for the way of all schools, and the way of all schools could be integrated to jointly create a peaceful and prosperous world. At that time, I was still worried in my heart, thinking that as a Taoist disciple, I was suspected of deliberately exalting the Taoism, but I didn't know if it was correct. Until this time, he knew that his thinking was still too limited and he underestimated the "Tao" of Taoism.

"It turns out that this is the real avenue!" Xiao Yi suddenly realized. (To be continued.) )
