Chapter 124: Three Knocks

readx;

On that day, the night when this Monkey King was taken by this Bodhi ancestor, this karma mouse was a little worried about the future of this Monkey King, and felt that this Monkey King had a slim future and was going to be expelled from the division. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info However, this Monkey King is smirking there as if he is nothing.

The causal rat thinks that this Monkey King may have been hit too hard, and he couldn't think about it for a while, and he was crazy and lost his mind, and he was afraid that this Monkey King couldn't think about it for a while, and he wanted to find a short-term view, so this causal mouse has been following behind this Monkey King and taking care of this Monkey King.

But when it was almost time, the Monkey King suddenly jumped up from the bed and rushed out of the cave. This causal rat was also taken aback, and after following this Monkey King, he also rushed out of the cave quickly.

I saw that this Monkey King, after turning around, came to the bedroom of the ancestor of Bodhi, and carefully opened the half-open and half-hidden door of the bedroom. That is, he walked forward, walked sideways into the door, and only walked under the patriarch's bed. Seeing the patriarch curled up, he fell asleep. Wukong didn't dare to be alarmed, so he knelt in front of the couch. ”

Seeing this situation, the causal rat also laughed, and thought: "Originally, I thought that this monkey didn't understand etiquette and didn't know this human accident, but I didn't expect that he still understood the way of being a disciple! This Monkey King is here to ask for guilt, for what happened during the day, ask Bodhi Ancestor for it! I don't want to be expelled from the teacher! I hope that Bodhi Ancestor can forgive Sun Wukong's unreasonableness,......

Cause and effect rat, thinking about it, what happened during the day has been vividly remembered, in my mind, and I have passed it again,

"One day, the patriarch sat on the altar, summoned all the immortals, and opened the avenue. It's really -

The sky is falling, and the ground is surging with golden lotus. Wonderful performance of the three teachings, subtle and perfect. Slowly shake the tail and spray pearls, and the thunder and thunder move for nine days. Talk about the Tao for a while, talk about Zen for a while, and the three families cooperate with this as it is. The word of enlightenment converts sincerity and reason, and guides the non-birth of sexual mysteries. fast

Sun Wukong listened to it from the sidelines, and he was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, smiled with his eyebrows, and couldn't help dancing with his hands and feet. Suddenly seen by the patriarch, he called Sun Wukong and said: "You are in the class, why are you dancing wildly and not listening to me?" Wukong said: "The disciple listened sincerely and was overjoyed when he heard the wonderful sound of the master, so he didn't feel that he was so enthusiastic." I hope the master forgives the sins!" The patriarch said: "Since you know the wonderful sound, let me ask you, how long have you been in the cave?" Wukong said: "The disciple was originally ignorant, I don't know how many seasons, I only remember that there is no fire under the stove, I often go to the back of the mountain to collect firewood, and I see a mountain of good peach trees, where I have eaten seven full peaches." The patriarch said: "That mountain is called Rotten Peach Mountain." You have eaten it seven times, and I think it has been seven years. What kind of Tao are you going to learn from me today?" Wukong said: "But with the teachings of the respected teacher, there is only some Taoism, and the disciple will learn it." "Fasting

The patriarch said: "There are three hundred and sixty side doors in the word 'Dao' door, and the side doors all have positive fruits. I don't know which one you are learning?" Wukong said: "With the will of the teacher, the disciple listens wholeheartedly. The patriarch said: "How about I teach you the way of the word 'art'?" Wukong said: "How do you say the way of the sect?" The patriarch said: "In the door of the word art, there are some people who invite immortals to help Luan, ask Bu Yang Yarrow, and know the reason for seeking good fortune and avoiding evil." Wukong said: "Can you get immortality like this?" The patriarch said: "No, can't!" Wukong said: "Don't learn, don't learn!" Lord

The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way in the 'flow' word gate?" Wukong asked again: "What is the righteousness in the flow word gate?" The patriarch said: "In the flow word gate, there are Confucianism, Buddha, Taoism, Yin and Yang family, Mohist, doctor, or reading scriptures, or chanting Buddha, and descending to the truth. Wukong said: "Is it possible to live forever like this?" The patriarch said: "If you want to live forever, it is like a pillar in the wall." Wukong said: "Master, I am an honest person, and I don't know how to play the market. How do you call it 'a pillar in the wall'?" the patriarch said: "People build houses to be strong, and set up a pillar between the walls, and one day the building will fall, and he will perish." Wukong said: "According to this, it will not last long. Don't learn, don't learn!"

The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way in the door of the word 'Jing'?" Wukong said: "What is the positive fruit in the door of the word Jing?" The patriarch said: "This is to rest the grain and guard the grain, be quiet and do nothing, participate in meditation, precept fasting, or sleep gong, or make meritorious service, and merit into the fixed sitting pass and so on." Wukong said: "Can you live forever like this?" The patriarch said: "It's also like kiln adobe." Wukong smiled: "Master fruit is a little dropped." One line said I don't know how to play the city. How do you call it 'kiln head adobe'?" The patriarch said: "Just like the kiln head, the bricks and tiles have been formed, although they have been formed, they have not yet been tempered by water and fire, and once the heavy rain pours, he will be indiscriminate." Wukong said: "It's not long-term. Don't learn, don't learn!"

The patriarch said: "How about teaching you the way in the door of the word 'move'?" Wukong said: "What about the way of moving?" The patriarch said: "This is a promising work, picking yin and supplementing yang, climbing the bow and stepping on the crossbow, rubbing the umbilicus, concocting with a square, burning grass and beating the ding, entering red lead, refining autumn stones, and taking women's milk and so on. Wukong said: "Do you have to live forever?" The patriarch said: "If you want to live forever, it is like fishing for the moon in the water." Wukong said, "Master is here again." How do you call it 'fishing for the moon in the water'?" the patriarch said: "The moon is in the sky, and there is a shadow in the water. Wukong said: "Don't learn, don't learn!"

When the patriarch heard this, he jumped off the high platform, held the ring ruler, and designated Wukong to say: "You cunning, you don't learn like this, you don't learn like that, but what are you going to do?" stepped forward, hit Wukong on the head three times, turned his hands behind his back, walked inside, closed the middle door, and left the crowd behind. Everyone in the group was frightened, and they all complained about Wukong and said: "You monkey, you are very formless! Master preached your Taoism, how did you not learn it, but you talked back to Master! This time it collided with him, and I don't know when it will come out!" At this time, they all complained about him and despised him. Wukong wasn't annoyed at all, just smiling all over his face. It turned out that the monkey king had broken the mystery in the plate and was secretly in his heart. Therefore they do not contend with the multitude, but endure without words.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is actually laughing when the teacher is lecturing, and this is a disruption of classroom discipline! Even if you end up "lying" and saying that "the disciple listened sincerely and heard the teacher's wonderful voice, he was overjoyed, so he didn't feel that he was so enthusiastic." I hope Master forgives us sins!" (Forgive us laypeople for not understanding the joy of cultivation and the joy of listening to the Tao!) This Bodhi ancestor believes in and forgives you, but we don't believe it either!) (After all, we are all scumbags, and we don't know how to learn to have fun.) )

However, later, what happened, it was too ignorant to advance or retreat.

This generous Bodhi Ancestor forgave your unreasonable behavior in class, and instead asked you, what do you want to learn? But you don't want to learn this, and you don't want to learn that. Isn't this a refutation of the teacher's face!?

In the eyes of any outsider, including this causal rat, isn't this a typical "scum" in learning? If this is in a modern classroom, it will also be dragged out to beat the board, of course, it is impossible to deal with dropping out of school. However, this is the development of things, in the eyes of anyone, it is reasonable and expected.

As everyone knows, this clever Monkey King understands the true meaning of this, understands that the patriarch beat him three times, and teaches him to be attentive when he is on the third watch;

This Bodhi Ancestor, for this Monkey King, really loves and adds!

Just when the causal rat was waiting for this Monkey King to plead guilty to this Bodhi ancestor, something happened that made the causal rat lose its big teeth.

The patriarch came to his senses after a while, stretched his feet, and said to himself, "Lord."

Difficult, difficult, difficult! The Tao is the most mysterious, don't wait for Jin Dan to be idle. I don't meet people to pass on the tricks, empty words and dry tongues!

Wukong shouted in response: "Master, the disciple has been kneeling here for a long time. When the patriarch heard the voice of Wukong, he got up and sat down in his clothes and shouted, "You don't go to sleep in front of you, but what are you doing behind me?" Wukong said: "Master promised everyone in front of the altar yesterday, and when he taught his disciples the third watch, he passed on my truth from the back door, so he boldly bowed to the master's bed." When the patriarch heard this, he was very happy, and secretly thought to himself: "This guy is really a heaven and earth generation, otherwise, why break the mystery in my plate?" Wukong said: "There are no six ears here, only one disciple, I hope that the master will be merciful and pass on the way of immortality to me, and I will never be ungrateful!" The patriarch said: "You are destined today, and I am also happy to say." Since you know the mystery of the plate, you come near, listen carefully, and tell you the wonderful way of immortality. Wukong kowtowed and thanked him, washed his ears attentively, and knelt down on the couch. Zu Shiyun: Yes

The secret of the secret circle is really wonderful, and there is no one to say about the cultivation of life. They are always energetic, and they are careful to hide and leak. ancient

Hugh leaks, the body is hidden, and you are preached by me. The mantra is more beneficial to memorize, and it is cool to eliminate evil desires. fast

It has to be cool, bright and clean, so that you can enjoy the bright moon in Dantai. The moon hides the jade rabbit and the day hides the black, and there are turtles and snakes coiled together. host

The phase is coiled, and the life is strong, but it can plant golden lotus in the fire. The five elements of the cluster are used upside down, and the work is completed with the Buddha and the immortal. know

At this time, the root cause is broken, and Wukong's soul is blessed. I remembered the mantra, thanked the patriarch for his deep gratitude, and went out the back door to watch.

After Sun Wukong left, this causal rat was also dumbfounded. This Bodhi Ancestor and this Monkey King, these two masters and apprentices, are really a pair of wonders! The development of this matter is beyond everyone's expectations. As a causal rat for the people who eat melons, it is even more scorched on the outside and tender on the inside!

Let's not talk about the unreasonable performance of this Monkey King, just look at the way of preaching this Bodhi ancestor, which is to secretly call this apprentice to his bedroom at night and preach alone. (Although, this may be, in modern times, is somewhat "common", but those are all crooked ways, not the real way of preaching and teaching to solve doubts!)

The result of the development of this matter is that the biggest beneficiary of this uproar is Sun Wukong, who has learned to practice the exercises, and everyone else is just a foil. (Is it really the Monkey King who is the biggest beneficiary?) Actually, the real direct beneficiary is the Monkey King, but the real biggest indirect beneficiary is Buddhism.)

Why? This journey to the west has a hard road ahead, poor mountains and bad waters, and there are so many demons and monsters along the way. Only the stronger the strength of the scripture-learning team, in fact, the stronger the Monkey King, the stronger the Journey to the West team, the success rate of the Westward Journey will be improved. After the success of this Western Heaven Sutra, it is also the beginning of the revival of Buddhism!

In the future, if you see anything happening to this Monkey King, as long as you think more and look farther, you will be able to find that there are some Buddhist figures behind this matter, whether it is help or obstacles.

This is in Sun Wukong, who has been gone for a long time, and this causal rat is still shocked by what happened in the third watch, and he stood in place.

The Bodhi Ancestor in this room thought that he had discovered the existence of this causal rat, but he didn't care, because these creatures from ancient times all had their own cultivation methods, and they were reluctant to let their own cultivation and start cultivating again, not to mention that just now, the cultivation exercises that Bodhi Ancestor passed on to Sun Wukong were only the most basic exercises, so he was not afraid that this causal rat would overhear it and cause any trouble, so he didn't break the existence of the causal rat (also, after all, this Monkey King is still there, let him get in touch with these high-level existences in advance, which will also make this Monkey King so ambitious, which is not conducive to cultivation) 。

But now, Sun Wukong has been gone for a long time, and this Bodhi Ancestor said to the door: "It's been a long time!

"Yes, Venerable Master. The villain, just overheard,......" This causal rat slipped into the room, like Sun Wukong before, kneeling in front of this couch, in front of this Bodhi ancestor.

Bodhi Ancestor suddenly said viciously: "I know that you are concerned about the safety of this Monkey King, and I am afraid that he will not be able to think about it, so I came here with him, but the exercises you heard here are rotten in your stomach, if you say half a word, I will know, skin and file your little mouse, reduce your soul to the nine shadows, and teach you not to turn over......

The causal rat, knowing the strength of this Bodhi Ancestor, knew that he was not a little exaggerated, and hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Never dare to mention it, never dare to mention it, never dare to mention it,......"

Bodhi Ancestor seemed to be very satisfied with the reaction of the causal rat, and said, "It's good that you know, it's good that you know, and there's one more thing you need to know,......"

The causal rat hurriedly said, "I still hope that the Venerable Master will give you advice, and I hope that the Venerable Master will give you advice, and the Venerable Master will ,......."

Bodhi Ancestor suddenly closed his eyes, used his hand to make a little void, and said: "That is, "The Tao does not pass on non-people, and the Dharma does not spread to the six ears." ”。 Your fate here is over, and you can go back to where you came from!"

After speaking, this Bodhi Ancestor, with a wave of his sleeves, this causal rat flew upside down from the three-star cave of the slanting moon in Fangcun Mountain and flew towards the north.

flew out of 108,000 miles, and this causal rat slowly controlled his body and slowed, slowly, slowly. In the end, it was settled in place.

In this journey to the north, this karmic rat has been speculating about this Bodhi ancestor, and the last thing he said is what the hell is going on, this "Tao does not pass on non-people, and the law does not pass on six ears." Before, I didn't promise this Bodhi Ancestor, and I would never mention the cultivation exercises I heard from him, but why this, Bodhi Ancestor, said this sentence again, "The Tao is not passed on to non-people, and the Dharma is not passed on to the six ears." It is also for me not to spread the proverbs of his exercises without authorization?

Could it be that it was an important thing to say three times, but he only said it twice!

Is it that I think too much, is this just a casual mention of Bodhi Ancestor? Or do I think less, I haven't thought that this Bodhi Ancestor wants me to pay attention to it?

"The Tao does not preach non-people, and the law does not preach the six ears. "The Tao does not preach non-people, and the law does not preach the six ears. "The Tao does not preach non-people, and the law does not preach the six ears. "The Tao does not preach non-people, and the law does not preach the six ears. "The Tao does not preach non-people, and the law does not preach the six ears. ”......

In the continuous silent recitation, this causal rat finally discovered that the key point is in the sentence "The law does not pass on the six ears", "By the way, I understand,......

This causal rat understands, do you understand?

What did the causal rat understand? How should this event develop after that, and let's see how it develops next time.

Yuan Shi Tianzun: also known as "Taishang Pangu Tiandao Yuan Shi Tianzun". It is recognized as the originator of Taoism. In the "Three Qings", he was the most respectful, and when the chaos was not opened, the Yuan Shi Tianzun once opened the world with the giant body of Pangu. The "Tongjian of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties" called Yuan Shi Tianzun "the ancestor who dominated the heavenly realm". It existed before the birth of the Taiyuan (i.e., the universe), so it is called the Origin Beginning. When the immeasurable calamity comes, he uses the mysterious way of heaven to educate sentient beings, so he is called Tianzun. The Taoist scriptures record the Taoism founded by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun that are Taishang Laojun, although the three are different, they are the same as one, and they are all the incarnations of the Tao. In the "Ten Rules of Taoism", it is said: "The first three gases of Xuanyuan are born, and their original principles are one." "No matter how many gods and spirits, and all truths and saints.

Yuan Shi Tianzun (Pangu God). It is also known as "Pangu Emperor"[1], "Yujing Great Tianzun", "Taishang Daozun", "Yuan Shi Tianwang", "Purple Emperor". It is recognized as the originator of Taoism. The full name is "One Gasification Sanqing Jade Qingju Qingwei Tiansheng Dengyu Qingjing Shiqi Chengri Tianbao Jun Yuan Shitianzun Miao Wu God", which is the highest sacredness of Taoism - the head of Sanqing Tianzun.

Folding the originator of Taoism

The highest god of Taoism - Sanqing Patriarch Yuan Shi Tianzun is the originator of Taoism, born before the Taiyuan (that is, the beginning of all the calamities in the universe), so it is called the beginning of the Yuan, often when the calamity comes, the mysterious avenue is differentiated into the gods of various time and space to save people, and the people who differentiate the avenue are the respect of the avenue, such as the Taishang Daojun, the Shangqing Gaosheng Taishang Yuchen Dao Jun, the Three Days Jun, the Oriental Baohua Lin Qingling Shi Lao Jun, the Southern Fanbao Changyang Danling Zhen Laojun, the Central Huang Laojun, the Western Qibao Jinmen Haoling Huang Laojun, The Northern Cave Yin Shuo Shan Yu Xuan Laojun, the Mixed Yuan Emperor Taishang Laojun, and the immortal officials are all divided by the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

According to the account of the Heavenly Journey: Yuan Shi Tianzun lives in the Jade Void Palace, this Jade Qing Holy Realm, unless the Dao is holy and true, otherwise it is difficult for mortals and the gods of the middle and lower realms to enter, because the Jade Void is the source of the Great Dao, and the Dao Qi is immeasurable and endless, and it is strong and difficult to beat.

Fold the head of the three clears

Sanqing is the Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. It is the most respected among the "three clears".

He was born before the chaos, before the Taiwu, the beginning of the vitality, hence the name "Yuan Shi". "The True Immortal Body of the Past Generations" said: "The original is the original, the beginning, the beginning, and the innate qi." This gas is transformed into the person who opened up the world, that is, Pangu, and into the ancestor who presides over the heavenly realm, that is, the beginning. The origin is the original origin of the universe, above all the immortals, so it is called "Tianzun". The Qi of Heaven exists before all things in the universe. His essence is immortal, and even if the heavens and the earth are completely destroyed, it will not affect his existence in the slightest. Whenever a new heaven and earth are formed, the Heavenly Venerable will descend into the world, teach the secret way, and open up the robbery to save people. Whenever a new world is opened, there are its era names, such as Longhan, Yankang, Chiming, Kaihuang, etc., and the distance between the years is as long as 4.1 billion years.

Qiliang Gaodao Tao Hongjing compiled the "True Spirit Position Industry Map" said that the Purple Cloud Pavilion, Bixia is the city. And in the top layer of Daluo Tianzhong, where Tianzun lives in the thirty-sixth day, the name of the immortal mansion is "Xuandu Yujing". And all the gods and immortals must go to the Yuqing Realm on time to worship the Yuan Shi Tianzun. "The Immortal Tongjian of the Past Dynasties" called him "the ancestor of the presiding heavenly realm", and the legend is that his body is the holy ancestor Pangu who opened the world in ancient times, and after sacrificing himself to create the world, he got the right result, and he is the master of the Yuxu Palace, the ancestor of the immortals, and his status is extremely high, but the appearance of the specific image is later than that of Taishang Laojun. According to the record of "Tongjian of the Immortals of the Past Dynasties", the Yuan Shi Tianzun "bears the round light on the top and wears seventy-two colors", so the Yuan Shi Tianzun enshrined in the Taoist Sanqing Hall generally covers the divine light, holds the red pill in his hand, or the left hand is empty, and the right hand is empty, symbolizing the "infinite state" and "the time of chaos, the yin and yang are not judged" when "heaven and earth are not formed, chaos is not opened, and all things are not born" when the "infinite state" and "when chaos, yin and yang are not judged". Therefore, the winter solstice day with yang and yin, short days and long nights is the Christmas of the first Tianzun. For a long time, Yuan Shi Tianzun has been pious worship by emperors and sages and good men and women of the people.

Folding Taoist sayings

Chinese Taoism (New Academicism) expounds on Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and the Jade Emperor:

1. The Origin of Heaven is the root of Wuji. The Tao is boundless, endless, and unfigurative, and the Tao contains the void of heaven and universe, accomplishes all things, exists in infinity, and exists in people's hearts. Daozang's "Xuangang Treatise" says: Tao is "the system of nothingness, the root of creation, the foundation of the gods, the origin of heaven and earth, the birth of all things, and the completion of the five elements". It shows that the universe, yin and yang, and all things are produced by the "Tao".

2. The Origin of Heaven is the source of the birth of the universe. The universe has a beginning, and there was a beginning before the beginning, the universe

Sculpture of the Yuan Shi Tianzun

The original form of the Yuan Shi Tianzun sculpture universe came into existence from nothing, and it happened from nothing before nothing. This is the insurmountable concept of time for the human mind, the tipping point of human perception.

3. The Taoist exposition of the origin of the present universe. "Qingwei Sanpin Mahayana Tribulation Sutra": Before the creation of the universe today, there was loneliness and no surface in the void. There is no crystal, no light, no meridian and no dimension. The source of nothingness is the Tao, the Tao produces the basis of matter, the Tao runs through the inside and outside of matter, itself has infinite creativity, and exists eternally in the infinite, he is the foundation of the Tao, the absolute truth, the foundation of life, and the soul of nature. It is the master and source of all matter. In the hearts of Muslims, he is Allah. In the Old Testament, he is the God Jehovah. In Hinduism, he is Brahma, and in the mainstream thinking of Chinese culture, his image is Yuan Shi Tianzun. In shamanism, he is the eternal being. The beginning of creation is the heart, and the first omen of the innate is born. In the emptiness, the place of the void, the information machine, the melting of the mist, the five elements of yin and yang create their shape, the gods began to be born in the infinite, the time of the Xuanjing is not divided, in the void, the sky is far away. In the vastness of the void, the materialization of profit and loss is mutually reinforcing, if it is floating, the five elements are divided, if it is in a trance, there is no difference, and the innate gods are floating without evidence. All things are gone. Shi Wuji Saints, True Gods and Immortals, Buddhas, Ancestors Xuan Gaozhen, everything is not bad for the Dharma Body, but when they encounter this catastrophe, they are wiped out by chaos and gradually lose their gods. If the gods and forms are mutualized, they will be lost forever and their roots will be uprooted. All people can only rely on the ancestor to open up a new universe and entrust the true body.

4. Taoism's exposition of the process of the formation of the universe. The realizer of the Tao - the ancestor of the Yuan has mercy on the eternal ascetic, the infinite saints who have accumulated the good causes, so they are now lucky, and the holy path is hidden, hidden in the ancestral roots of ten thousand qi, contained in the corn, and in the restraint of the infinite, the qi of the six electric wings is true, and the ancestral qi protects and nourishes its gods, accumulating more than 7,000 eons, the Taiji through the salty response, the new universe is formed, and the infinite saints are beginning to be covered with Taiji.

5. Taoism's exposition of Yuan Shi Tianzun as the Creator. "Book of Changes": "The great Qianyuan, the beginning of all materials, is the domination of the sky." "The Primordial Ancestor Zun existed before all things in the universe came into being, and his essence is eternal, indestructible and indestructible. Even if the universe is destroyed today, it will not be affected in the slightest. The ancestor of the Yuan respected the majesty and subtlety, turned nothingness into everything, loved and affectionate, and carried yin and yang to nourish all things. All things prosper, and there is a process of prosperity and decline, and the old and the new come out. Because of his evolution, the cosmic starry sky can be formed. Within the Liuhe, the elements of the five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, and earth) complement each other, and the thousands of worlds are in a variety of forms, and we, the creatures, all rely on him to shepherd them every day. He is the Tao, the root of us, and the ultimate goal of billions of spirits is to return to the source of the primordial ancestor and participate in the co-circulation of thousands of worlds. The present universe is contracted in infinity and then exploded and expanded. Time flies, expands beyond the eight tables, and gradually begins to divide. All kinds of substances repel and attract, and gradually become the subtle Tai Chi world of Aohan.

6. The Taoist exposition of what is the present universe. The current universe expanded at a critical rate after the Big Bang, and after changes, countless galaxies were formed in the universe, in infinite dimensions. The current universe is still expanding, and the infinite saints have comprehended the infinite and profound evolution, becoming the masters of space, space and matter in the universe, and their power has been able to penetrate the infinite time and space, construct and change any matter at will, so they transform into a perfect image of gods and men, forming a group dominated by the Jade Emperor Supreme, obeying the will of the Yuan Ancestor Zun, creating life in the vast and vast desert universe, sowing wisdom, and cultivating all products.

7. The Taoist exposition of the formation of Da Luo Tian. The Origin Ancestor of the Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Zun of different time and space, traveled in the present universe, creating the best environment for the existence of the gods, "Daluo Heavenly Realm" Liuhe Thirty-six Heavenly Paradise, the Ancestor of the Origin and the Grandmother of the Chaos Universe, the most mysterious and beautiful Infinite Holy Ancestor of the universe, Our Lady of Taiyuan, spent about a hundred eons to create a new time and space, and built the Tianjing Paradise, so as to be full of wisdom and the essence of the Heavenly Universe. Taoism says that Tianjing Paradise was built through twelve processes. (1) It is the time without heaven and earth, the gloom and the dark, the spiritual text is dark, the movement comes from the source, it is the root of all the qi, the hollow is true, the air is clear and high, the sky is widespread, and the brake is self-mysterious. (2) It is a time binary divider, which is open and thick, and is formed at one time. (3) It was three thousand six hundred days and moons, and they were all the same at one time, shining on the heavens, and there was no darkness in them. (4) It is the time when the great saint god is wonderful and innocent, there are no martingale numbers, the jade court is courteous, the space is mysterious, and the spiritual text is praised. (5) Tianfa natural joy, millions of kinds, the same work at one time, exciting Xuangong, Shangqing Shenzhen. (6) Hundreds of empty births, ten square palaces and merchants, all into holes. (7) Xuanji stops, the stars are not good, there is no day and night, and the four fortunes are in the morning. (8) Purple clouds and Tuhui, flowing the heavens, and all all things are bright. (9) Spring, summer, autumn and winter, neither summer nor ice. The air flow is gentle and magically flourishing. (10) Five towns are established, and Xuanjiao is endless. (11) It is the magic of the seven treasures under the time of Xuanxia, to scatter all over the land, and to give birth to the people. (12) The Seven Treasures of Qilin, born in time and space, bright and shady, covering ten days. (See "Supreme Secrets" volume 24 "Tianrui Pin" quoted in "Dong Xuan Chi Shujing") Xuanjing began to divide, turned into nine qi, became the nine true emperors, lived in the Sanqing realm, and each of the three Qingjing realms placed eight emperors, becoming the twenty-four emperors in three days. Later, the prince of the east and the queen mother of the west were born from the qi and placed their own palaces, so there were battalion guard officers.

8. Taoism's exposition of the opening of the world. The reason for the groundbreaking is that in order to make the wisdom factor exist and spread, Yuan Shi Tianzun is determined to build the most beautiful planet in the universe. This is the time of the Hongyuan in the Taoist annual ring. Yuan Shi Tianzun is the ancestor of the universe and the sect of gods. At the time of the formation of Da Luotian, the ancestor of Yuan and the Mother of Taiyuan gave birth to the prince of the east and the queen mother of the west. The Queen Mother of the West is the goddess of the universe who is the essence of the universe, so that all things in heaven and earth can evolve, and the goddess in the future world can learn the laws of the operation and change of all things in the universe. Sublimation to a more perfect realm. The prince of the east is the lord of the Great Luo Heavenly Immortals. At this time, the universe had been built for thirty-six days, and there were nine heavenly systems distributed among the thirty-six heavenly realms. Yuan Shi Tianzun divided the Nine Emperors in the Great Luo Heavenly Realm and governed the vast universe. In order to spread the spirit of cosmic wisdom, Yuan Shi Tianzun then carried out the great project of opening the world with the Jade Emperor, Doumu and other gods in the Taichu Era. At the time of the chaos, the ancestor of the Yuan was respected in the void, based on the seven Yao Sanheng, the Yin of nature, the formation of the unreturned glow, and the chaos of the Hongmeng melted. The expo is persistent, and after several eons, it finally becomes a round celestial sphere. After 30,000 degrees, from the son to the ugly, the atmosphere is initially condensed. The wind gradually blows, and the original earth's atmosphere is full of dust, and heaven, water, earth, and fire are incompatible. Yuan Zai Tao Jun, condensation of turbulence, circling around, such as rotation, after 30,000 degrees, no stop, endless, gradually Tao Jun, Yin and Yang initial judgment, chaos began to clear. Dust in the atmosphere accumulates and gradually settles into the ground. The weight of the dimension is turbidity, the outline dimension is the eight poles, the coarse one is the standoff, and the clear one is the stream. In the end, it is extremely beautiful, or carried or completed, boundless, and heaven and earth become energy.

9. Taoism's exposition of the origin of life in heaven and earth. In the process of opening up the world, the operation of heaven and earth is changing rapidly, confusing, the ancestors of the Yuan and the Jade Emperor, Doumu, the East Prince, the West Queen Mother and other ancestors show infinite power, the omnipresent dominant power, driving the yin and yang qi, creating rivers, lakes and seas. The earth's magnetic field, atmosphere, and ionosphere are also under the balance of the gods, blocking most of the cosmic rays, and the earth's poles begin to position and rotate steadily. It is conducive to the generation and protection of life that will exist on the earth. Yuan Shi Tianzun then planned a program for life survival in Yujing, the Xuandu of the Great Luo Heavenly Realm.

10. Taoism's elaboration of the differentiation of Yuan Shi Tianzun into Lingbao Tianzun. In ancient times, the first ancestor of the Yuan was in the Daluo Heavenly Realm, in the Xuandu Yujing. Let the infinite light be. According to the Wuji Realm, gather the Wuji Saints, and reveal the Wuji Holy Spirit: "Will achieve the wisdom of truth, goodness, and happiness in the Taiji World, and give birth to creatures with the gods as the model" The gods were extremely happy, and they all sang to Tianzun with great reverence: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of the universe, encompassing heaven and earth, and nurturing all beings." All gods salute, swear loyalty and sincerity. Resolutely supported". Therefore, the Yuan Ancestor Zun differentiated the root of the Great Dao and the Jiuqing Ziyuan of the soul of the Great Dao in the ontology in the Taiyi Era, and differentiated into the Lingbao Tianzun.

11. Taoism's exposition of the process of life formation. In the Taiyi Age, Lingbao Tianzun balances the vitality of all things, and the Jun blending system has been harmonized into organic molecules within thousands of inorganic molecules. All living things originate from the first organic molecules. This organic molecule is too small to be visible to the naked eye, and there are almost none, so it is named several. Several of these organic substances float into the water, get water and live, expand and lengthen, and then break and multiply, so it is called broken. It is the original microorganism, and after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it has formed a diverse biological world.

12. The Taoist exposition of the origin of mankind. In order for life to progress, it must conform to the laws of nature, and many ancient life forms died out due to the difficulty of adapting to the movement of the floor and the change of climate. Until the Late Tertiary Mammalian Animal Age, the primate Australopithecus appeared five million years ago. Their brains are not much bigger than orangutans, but they already walk on their hind legs. Australopithecus used tools to adapt to survival, and finally developed into the ape-man who made tools, and the communication of language enabled the ape-man to evolve from conditioned reflexes and instinctive survival to thinking. Thought made the ape-man evolve into Homo sapiens. According to the law of natural selection and survival of the fittest, intelligent animals have more opportunities to live long and pass on their genes and survival skills to the next generation. By 100,000 years ago, the human brain had become a demigod with an innate instinct that surpassed all animals. "Lingbao Sutra": "There is no difference in the sky, the weather is one, and it is good to become a natural person." "It all stems from a little bit of the natural spirituality of the Tao.

13. Taoism's exposition of the formation of the order of heaven and earth. At the beginning of the order of the Tai Chi realm, man is a demigod of the spirit of all things, and the soul does not know where to go, and there is no way to liberate. Lingbao Tianzun was merciful and worried, so the five elements gathered their essence and turned into five old Brahmans and five heavenly monarchs to build and slaughter the five directions. Interpret the spirit chapter to transform the world, in order to pull out the heaven and man to benefit the people. Xie Li Yin and Yang, transform the Ten Directions to save the suffering Tianzun to pass on the Xuanwen Heart Seal, widely spread the turbidity of Yan Fu, and build the underworld to save the ghost. Set up nine prisons to protect humanity.

The nine hells are:

The Lord of the Spring Prison is the Heavenly Demon. The Yaquan prison lord took the shrine of his incompetence. The Huangquan Prison Lord took the spirit of the mandrill. The Lord of Cold Spring Prison photographed the water monsters of the rivers and lakes. The Lord of the Yin Spring Prison takes blood and eats the evil god.

The lord of Youquan Prison is vicious in the mountains and forests. The lord of the lower spring prison took the corpse of Gu Fu. The Lord of the Bitter Springs Prison is a regent, a witch rebel. The prison lord of Mingquan was sentenced to death

The above is derived from the Taoist classic "Supreme Xuanyuan Three Days Jade Hall Dafa"

Open the Qing realm to prove the immortals, with boundless origin, widely descented. "Taishang Cave Xuan's Salvation and Extraction of Sins"

The existence of this great thing depends on the opening of the Lingbao Ancestor. During this period, Lingbao Ancestor Venerable has been hard for several years, charitable and affectionate, and cares for and loves mankind without regrets. At this time, Yuan Shi Tianzun considered that in order for human beings to survive and develop, it is necessary to correctly use wisdom and survive in an orderly and systematic manner, so that the living environment will not be exhausted, so that human souls can finally return to the source of time and space happily, serenely, easily, comfortably, and perfectly, and participate in the co-circulation of the universe. Become a god who helps the Jade Emperor Celestial Venerable balance the Liuhe. So the Yuan Shi Tianzun was differentiated in the Taichu Era and became the moral Tianzun. In other words, Lingbao Tianzun is the creator of the Tai Chi order.

14. Taoism's exposition of the moral deity and the beginning of human civilization. Daode Tianzun is the ancestor of the spread of the Great Dao in the world, and his benevolence is transformed into ten thousand directions, promoting the vitality of heaven and earth, and his ontology is the Yuan Ancestor Zun. His will is the law of nature's change, the law. The order of heaven and earth. From the universe to the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, to flowers and trees, insects and sand. There is no one who is not from his favor. His favor is all-encompassing and endless, and the civilizations of the world are derived and developed from him.

The "Nanhua Sutra" says: Nature is full of life, and this kind of transformation from business to creation is pushed forward, that is, it can be skillfully and endlessly, and it is embodied in one, just like an elegant dance, and the power of Bo is turned into a show of strength and relaxation. Nature is an endless creative process, and man is the co-creator of Counsellor Huayu in this process. Therefore, nature and man can become one, and all life can be more integrated and mutually reinforcing, forming a vast harmony. In the moral world, the ancient ape entered the human world from the natural world. The human world is a world of thought and organization, a stored knowledge. The flesh and mortal womb carry the soul. Soul is temperament, energy, physique, animal attributes, which are enhanced by the transformation of energy by food and produce desire. The soul is the combination of the aura of heaven and earth, the essence and blood of parents, the essence of the five elements in the human body, the essence of mutual movement, and the attribute of affection and righteousness, and the ultimate goal is to thrive and sublimate, return to the material attributes of the great unity of the universe, and the soul influences and restricts each other. Nature created man, and man is little nature. The human body adheres to the soul to move life, and the soul and nature sense each other and circulate synchronously. When the human spirit leads the soul to infinite beauty, our spirit returns to the whole of the universe, and our soul moves with the universe. My molecules are in the harmony of the universe, and I become thousands of cosmic molecules that have my genes, my existence, and in union with the vast and infinite universe, my molecules become eternal. When it is condensed, it becomes a comfortable and happy spirit. Gather in the root of the universe, in the light of the avenue. Primitive Taoism does not have the theory of reincarnation. The root of the Tao is endless, and his ontological wisdom image is the Origin Heavenly Venerable.

15. The Taoist exposition of the reasons for the beginning of the moral celestial deity and the human order. People decide for their own actions and are responsible for their consequences. When desires influence the mind to commit ugliness, it forms evil attachments in the soul, making the soul filthy and dark, and when the physical functions cease, the soul decomposes and is penetrated and frustrated by the pressure of the vacuum at different times. Until the soul turbidity factor is exhausted. The deeper the evil, the heavier the frustration, and the longer the time, the more painful the soul. After the soul turbidity factor is exhausted, you can return to Hades to learn the knowledge of ascending to the heavenly paradise. The soul is cultivated from the essence of the parents, nurtured by the mother, nurtured by the environment, and passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, eugenics, treating children well, and retributing oneself will have glory and happiness in the future of children. The continuation of one's own genes is valuable. The moral ancestor opened the chapter of civilization, he made human beings shift from individual survival to social survival, and made human animal primitiveness regulated by social ethics. To guide humanity to the light. He is the founder of the three realms of the universe. But in social groups, the animal desires of people are intertwined, colliding and even fighting. The law of the jungle coexists, happiness and pain coexist, and people finish their lives in the struggle of desires. In this dazzling process, the high conflict of group desires threatens to destroy society at any time. In order to prevent the terrible violent desire from causing disasters, Daode Tianzun and the Jade Emperor joined hands in different time and space, and the Jade Emperor established the Taiji Realm Liuhe Eight Tables, the Three Realms and Ten Directions, and the Four Beings and Six Dao Supreme Regimes to manage the operation of the Taiji Realm, the direction of the immortals, Buddhas, and elves. The moral ancestors and the ancestral envoys passed down the morality and ethics in the world, so that people's temperament and desires gradually gathered under the banner of morality, and divided people's desires into social standards of good and evil. Different forms of repression and monitoring of thoughts and behaviors that are harmful to society. In this way, a triangular stable structure is established in society, which is the principle of heaven, the law of the land, and the human feelings. (Part of the book series of dialogues between saints and mortals------ Sichuan People's Publishing House, 1, "What Can I Get", 2, "What is a man", 3, "What I want")

16. Taoism's exposition of the Jade Emperor's establishment and management of the order of the Three Realms. What is the reason for the establishment of the order of the Three Realms? Because one life gives birth to two, two begets three, and three begets all things. The two instruments are divided here, the three talents are determined here, and all things are born here. Yin and yang are born together, and all things conform to the ever-changing nature of the truth, achieving the Three Realms. In the Three Realms, man is the spirit of all things, born in the universe, with the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and formed by the essence and blood wisdom of his parents. After three generations, human nature is indecent, the weak fall into misery, and the strong are slightly fighting. In this kind of trap and obstacle, nature cannot progress, and it is impossible to tap the true nature, and it is easy to breed violently. In order to make the cultivation of countless beings in the Three Realms have a way, in order to make the five elements of yin and yang orderly, the heaven and earth calamities have an end, and the shining morality will not die out in the dark grinding, the Jade Emperor established the supreme power of the Three Realms in the Taishi Daji and accepted this arduous task.

17. Taoism's exposition of the origin of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor existed before the first tribulation, and the body was the ancestral qi of the Three Qing Dynasty. Daozang's "True Message" says: Yin and yang are to be divided, and the sun and the moon are to be clear. As early as the time of the Tai Chi method, the Jade Emperor took pity on the chaos of the universe, the qi was blocked, and it was difficult to cultivate it. Once incarnated as Pangu, the righteousness of reason, the clarity of qi, the wonder of refinement, and the spirit of gods. The law benefits the three talents, and the corners stand up. The Jade Emperor incarnates the solemn body of a person. (Guangyan Miaole Land) is a bright heart. (Puming Xiangyan Mountain) after 3,200 eons and proved the golden immortal position. At the beginning of the eight hundred catastrophes, (incarnation) to show that the avenue is inaction, and all things are the most expensive. The second eight hundred eons of mercy and wisdom, the law of showing the cultivation of the spirit people, the immortals, and the saints. Another eight hundred eons of wisdom, showing the Dao Divine Immortal True Judicial Administration Technique. After 800 eons, he gave up his body, forgot about the two methods, and returned to the inevitable attribute of the great unification of the universe, and the highest realm of free travel that coexisted with the Tao. Three thousand two hundred eons also means that it has gone beyond the Three Realms and has attained the Three Vehicles. Life and death are round. After hundreds of millions of eons of incarnation, the longitude and latitude of Tianyu, the Wuji Saints respected the Jade Emperor as the supreme supreme suzerain of the three caves of Taiji. The supreme suzerain of the Liuhe Eight Tables. The Jade Emperor opened the Yukui Branch and the administration of the cloth. Spread the orders of the five directions, teach Vientiane, review the calamity, push the fortune, preside over the dethronement of the true slaughter of the immortal Buddha, karma, royal retribution, and the great wilderness. Seventeen kinds of immeasurable light, light pregnant with charity and joy, shining all over the infinite world, all living beings on the avenue, and universal victory. Nothing is done, and the upbringing is appropriate. The Jade Emperor is the Taoist body, the supreme Dharma body of the gods, the supreme Dharma body of the gods, the transcendence of the golden and the benefits of the masses, the teachings of the universal teachings, and the truth after enlightenment.

Collapse the name of the source

The name of "Yuan Shi" was first seen in Ge Hong's "Book in the Pillow" of the Jin Dynasty. It is recorded in the book: Before the chaos opened, there was the essence of heaven and earth, called "the first heavenly king", swimming in it. After the two rituals were divided, the first king of heaven lived above the center of the sky, sucked the weather on his back, and drank the spring on the ground. Yuan Shi Tianzun went through several eons, and the Taiyuan Jade Girl was born to the Queen Mother of the West, the Emperor was born to the Emperor of the Earth, the Emperor of the Earth was born to the Emperor of the People, and then the Emperor of the Earth was born of the Emperor, and then the Emperor of the Emperor and the Emperor of the West of the Emperor of the Emperor And said: "Xuandu Yujing Qibao Mountain, above Daluo, there are upper, middle and lower three palaces. The upper palace is the place of Pangu Zhenren, the Yuan Shi Heavenly King, and the Lady of the Wife. At this time, the Book of Sui and the Book of Records IV began to endow Yuan Shi Tianzun with the characteristics of gods, saying that he was "born before Taiyuan". It is believed that "the body of Tianzun is eternal and immortal, and every time the heaven and earth are first opened, the secret way is granted, which is called the opening of the robbery." However, its robbery, not once, so there are Yankang, Chiming, Longhan, Kaihuang, is its year name, its question is separated by 4 billion years, all the immortals are of the highest quality, there are Taishang Laojun, Taishang Zhangren, the emperor Zhenren, the five emperors of the five directions and the immortal officials". The Taoist priests of the Sui Dynasty named Tianzun "Le Jingxin". During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the true status of Pangu in ancient myths and legends was set off. It shows the belief of Taoist believers in the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

In the solemn Taoist Sanqing Hall, there are usually three dignified gods enshrined, which is the highest god of Taoism "Sanqing Patriarch". Standing at the gate of the Sanqing Palace, the Sanqing is the Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun statue in the middle of the main hall, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun statue is on the left in the main hall, the Taiqing Daode Tianzun statue is on the right in the main hall, and the Sanqing is the symbol of the Taoist philosophy "Trinity" doctrine. Chapter 42 of the Tao Te Ching says: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, all things negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive thought to be harmonious." "From the nameless avenue to the chaotic vitality, from the vitality to the yin and yang two qi, the harmony of yin and yang, give birth to all things in the world. Chapter 14 also says: "Seeing it is not famous, hearing it is not famous, and fighting the origin of Tianzun is not famous." These three cannot be criticized, so they are mixed into one, "think that one is three, three into one, "use is divided into three, and this is always one".

Later, Taoism derived from this to derive the three gods who lived in the Sanqing Shengjing. Therefore, the "Three Qings" respect the gods in the Taoist immortal system is the most respectful, the "Taoist Doctrine Hub" volume seven quotes the "Taizhen Branch" said: "Da Luo gave birth to the first Yuan Xuan three qi, turned into three clear heavens: one is said to be Qingwei Tianyu Qingjing, the beginning of the Qi is formed; the second day Yu Yu is in the heavenly Qingjing, the Yuan Qi is formed; and the third is the Great Red Heaven Taiqing Realm, which is made of Xuanqi. Since then, the three qi have their own births, "according to the records of Taoist books such as "Yun Gui Qixuan" and "Dao Fa Hui Yuan", Qingwei Tianyu Qingjing, mixed cave is too Yuanless, its qi is green, the true way ascends to the holy realm, and Tianbaozun (Yuan Shi Tianzun) governs it; Yuyu Tianshang Qingjing, its qi Yuan Huang, the immortal path ascends to the true realm, and Lingbao Zun governs it; the great red sky is too clear realm, its qi is white; humanity ascends to the fairy realm, and the Dao Tianzun resides in it. Wen said: "These four kinds of people's heavens, that is, above the three realms, are beyond the reach of disasters, and there are three clear realms in the four people's heavens. Above the three Qings is Da Luo Tian, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun lives in it, and Shi Hua is taught.

Tianbao Junzhi is in the Yuqing realm, and Qingwei Tianye is also. Lingbao Junzhi is in Shangqing Realm, that is, Yu Yu Tianye, and Shenbao Zun (Daode Tianzun) is governed in Taiqing Realm, that is, Da Chi Tianye. ("Yun Gui Qixuan" volume 3 "The Beginning of Taoism") and according to the "Collection of Sayings and Interpretations" quoted from the "Reading Chronicles" cloud: "The three Qing people are in the Yuqing Holy Realm, and the Yuan Shi lives in it; the Shangqing Holy Realm, the Taoist monarch lives in it; the Taiqing Fairy Realm, and the old monarch lives in it." At the same time, the Taoist Sanqing Zun God also reflects the deification of the Taoist "Three Caves True Scripture". The sixth volume of the "Seven Caves of the Clouds" and the "Three Caves of the Scriptures and Teaching Department" said: "The three caves of the clouds in the "Great Treatise on the Daomen" are also caves. Through the mysterious, its unity

There are three, so the cloud 'three holes'. The first cave is true, the second cave is mysterious, and the third cave is a god. It is the purpose of the three scenes and the spiritual chapter of the eight associations. "According to the record of the Qingwei Divine Position in the first volume of the "Dao Fa Hui Yuan" "Qingwei Dao Law Hub"; Qingwei Shengzu Yu Qing Yuan Shi Miao Dao God represents the Dong Zhen Jing Department, Taixuan Fuzhi, and preaches the Qingwei School; Qingwei Xuanzu Shangqing Lingfu Yu hires the Dao Jun, on behalf of the Dong Xuan Jing Department, Taiping Fuzhi, and the Lingbao School; Qingwei Ancestor Taiqing Daode Five Spirits Xuan Laojun represents the Dong Nerve Department, Taiqing Fuzhi, and the Zhengyi League Wei Dao runs through the three caves, and preaches the Dao Dao and the Zhengyi School. There is a historical process for the image of the three Qingzun gods of the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

During the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling Heming Mountain (now in Dayi County, Sichuan) founded the Five Bucket Rice Road, respecting "Taishang Laojun" as the highest god. Later, Kou Qian's reform of the Heavenly Master Dao, also to "Taishang Laojun" as the earliest supreme god, but has appeared the name of "moral Tianzun", as seen today, the name of "Sanqing" was first seen in the "True Spirit Position Karma Map" written by Tao Hongjing of Nanliang. The book arranges the order of the immortals and is divided into seven levels, each with a median. On the first median, the Emperor Daojun of the Void Emperor, should be called the Yuan Shi Tianzun. The second median, Shangqing Gaosheng Taishang Yuchen Yuanhuang Daojun (the lord of all paths). The third median, Taiji Golden Valve Emperor, surnamed Li, (Ren Chen under the Sect of the Peace). The fourth median, Taiqing Taishang Laojun (for the Taiqing Daoist, down to the people). The Emperor is the supreme king. Among them, the name of Shangqing Taiqing is more obvious, but the order of the name of "Sanqing" has not yet been determined, and the third place is "Golden Valve Emperor", and Taishang Laojun is in the fourth middle. Later, the name of the "Three Qings" gradually changed and developed, and it became a definite theory in the Tang Dynasty. Volume 7 of "Daozang, Taipingbu, Three Caves Bead Sac" quotes the cloud of "Laojun's Holy Traces": "This is the Jade Qing Realm, the Yuan Shi Tianzun Throne, above the thirty-five heavens. This is the Shangqing Realm, the Taishang Dao Jun (Lingbao Tianzun) position, above the thirty-four heavens. Taiqingjing Taijimu, that is, the old monarch of Taishang, is above the thirty-three. So the "Three Qings" became the supreme god of Taoism.

The source of the characters in this paragraph

Origin

The origin of the Yuan Shi Tianzun: The Yuan Shi Tianzun is one of the highest Taoist gods of the "Three Qings", born in the first place of Taiwu, endowed with the breath of nature, and was originally called the Yuan Shi Tianwang. Ge Hong's "Book in the Pillow" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said, "The two instruments in the past have not been divided, and they have not been formed." Heaven and earth, sun and moon do not have it, like a chicken, chaotic and yellow. There is already a real person of Pangu, the essence of heaven and earth, who has called himself the first king of heaven, and swims in it". The first king of heaven, opened the world, after the success of the world, shed the body, a spirit is not ambiguous, parade in the air, see the holy woman Taiyuan, like its chastity, that is, into the blue light into its mouth. The saint was 12 years pregnant, and was born between the back and cheek, and her words and actions were often protected by colorful clouds. Because its predecessor was Pangu and Yuan Shi Tianwang, it is called Yuan Shi Tianzun.

status

Qiliang Gaodao Tao Hongjing compiled the "True Spirit Position Karma Map" said that the place where the gods live is the "Yuqing Sanyuan Palace", and the Yuan Shi Tianzun is in its "first median", that is, the jade Qingjing in the thirty-six heavens, and the Yuan Shi Tianzun is in the highest position of the sky, that is, above the thirty-five heavens. In the territory of Yuqing, there is the pavilion of purple clouds, and Bixia is the city. The gods and immortals went to the Jade Qing Realm on time to worship the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Secret Dao Degree Immortals: "Sui Book Classics" said that the Yuan Shi Tianzun with the body of Tianzun, eternal and immortal, every time the heaven and earth are opened, that is, the secret way is granted, and the robbery is saved. "All the heavenly immortals are of the highest quality, there are Taishang Laojun, Taishang Daojun, Tianzhen Emperor, Wufang Heavenly Emperor and all immortal officials."

Source of ideas

The beginning of the Yuan Tianzun Heaven and Earth opened, and the person who started the foundation of all things was the Pangu clan, the ancestor of the heavenly realm, and had the highest status in the Taoist immortal lineage. The concept of Juyu Qing Tianyuan Shi Tianzun was born in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and its ideas were first derived from the "sexual evil" doctrine of Xunzi in the Warring States Period. At the beginning of human beings, they did not know beauty and ugliness, fragrance and smell, good and evil, benevolence and righteousness, fathers and brothers, husbands and wives, and were not bound by ethical and moral concepts, but in fact they were just another beast. The initial state of human beings is like a chaotic yellow chicken, and the so-called "man" at this time is a "bastard".

Pangu Zhenren called himself the first heavenly king, wandering among the primitive human beings, making people have the first human ethics and moral concepts, and human beings were thus enlightened and possessed human nature. According to the doctrine of "sexual evil", everyone comes into this world as a "bastard", and in order for this person not to harm society and others, it is necessary to educate him, to be magnified, to make him constantly learn and transform himself, so that he can become a useful person and become a real person. If human beings are not educated in time, "bastards" will be "bastards" after all, and human beings will bring endless disasters to this world.

Edit this paragraph with Taoism

Folding Tianzun

Yuan Shi Tianzun, that is, "Pangu Emperor", also known as "Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun". He is the most respected among the "Three Qings" and the first god among the Taoist immortals. The "Immortal Tongjian of the Past Dynasties" called him "the ancestor who presided over the heavenly realm".

Although his status is high, he appeared later than Taishang Laojun. Lao Tzu founded Taoism, and he founded the teachings of exposition.

Taoism

In the "Fengshen List", there is no saying of "Yuan Shi Tianzun" in the early stage of the formation of the image of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and there is no record of "Taiping Sutra" and "Xiang'er Note". In Chinese myths and legends, there is no origin. According to the records of the Book of Taoism: the earliest appearance of the name "Yuan Shi" was recorded in Jin Gehong's "Book in the Pillow"

At this time, there was only the title of the First Heavenly King. It was not until the Southern Dynasty that Liang Tao Hongjing's "True Spirit Position Industry Map" began to have the name of "Yuan Shi Tianzun". The first-order median god of the book is "Shangtai Xuhuang Daojun", which should be called "Yuan Shi Tianzun", and "Yuqing Realm Yuan Shi Tianzun" is the main. However, there is another "Yuan Shi Heavenly King" in the book, who is listed as the fourth middle left and the fourth god. The Book of Sui and the Book of Sui Zhi IV began to shout to Yuan Shi Tianzun with the characteristics of gods, indicating the belief of Taoist believers in Yuan Shi Tianzun.

evolution

Regarding the name of Yuan Shi Tianzun, the second and third volumes of the "Beginner's Record" quote "Taixuanzhen Yijijing"

Explained: "There is no supreme sect, and the only can be the beginning of all things, hence the name Yuanshi." Everything in the road is extremely respectful, and it is often in the second clear, out of the heavens, so it is called Tianzun. "All kinds of statues of the Yuan Shi Tianzun (18 photos) "The Immortal Tongjian of the Past Dynasties" said: "The Yuan, Ben also." The beginning, the beginning, the innate qi. It is believed that the beginning is the original origin, above all the immortals, so it is called "Tianzun".

The people who were taken away from the statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun were all of the highest grade of heavenly immortals, including Taishang Laojun, Tianzhen Emperor, Wufang Heavenly Emperor and other immortals. Whenever a new world is opened, it has its era name, called Yankang, Chiming, Longhan, Kaihuang, etc., and the distance between the era names is as long as 4.1 billion years. In addition, Yuan Shi Tianzun is in the top of the thirty-six heavens "Da Luo Tian", and the immortal mansion where he lives is called "Xuandu Yujing", which is obviously imitated by the emperors of the world.

Throughout the evolution process of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, it can be found that the word Yuan Shi was originally an expression of the unopened heaven and earth in traditional culture, so it is said that the Yuan Shi Tianzun is the ancestor of the Chinese human race Pangu, who opened the world, and then gradually evolved into the supreme god of Taoism and the supreme god of folk beliefs, ranking first in the three Qings. From a historical point of view, this is completely consistent with the good inheritance of traditional culture of Taoism.

The first century of the infinite state when all things are not born and the first century of "when the chaos is not judged", so the winter solstice day with the yang giving birth to the yin and the descending of the yin, the short days and the long nights are the Christmas of the Yuan Shi Tianzun. For a long time, Yuan Shi Tianzun has been pious worship by emperors and sages, down to folk bodhisattvas and women.

The statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun "Yuan Shi Tianzun" was first seen in Ge Hong's "Book in the Pillow" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "In the past, the two instruments were not divided, and they were not formed. Heaven and earth, sun and moon do not have it, like a chicken, chaotic and yellow. There is already a real person of Pangu, the essence of heaven and earth, who has called himself the first king of heaven, and swims in it". The first king of heaven, opened the world, after the success of governing the world, shed the body, a spirit is not ambiguous, parade in the air, see the holy woman Taiyuan, like its chastity, that is, into the blue light into its mouth.

The highest in the sky: According to the "True Spirit Position Industry Map" compiled by Tao Hongjing of Qiliang Gaodao, the gods and immortals went to the Yuqing Realm on time to the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

Enshrinement: Most of the Taoist palaces are equipped with "Sanqing Palace". Yuan Shi Tianzun often holds a mixed yuan bead statue in the middle of the statue of the god in the main hall. In the large-scale Taoist Jiao ceremony, there are also many Sanqing gods or statues, all of which are centered on the Yuan Shi Tianzun. The birthday of the god of the first day of the first month is the first day of the first month. There are also people who worship the Yuan Shi Tianzun on the winter solstice.

Moral Heavenly Venerable

Daode Tianzun is Taishang Laojun, ranking third in the "Three Qing Zun Gods", and is the supreme god worshiped in the early days of Taoism. He was originally a thinker and founder of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period. On the occasion of Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (58~88), Yizhou Taishou Wang Fu made "Lao Tzu's Monument" cloud: "Lao Tzu, Tao also." It is born before the formless, from before the beginning, in the primordial element, floating in the six voids, in and out of the netherworld, the view of the mixture is not different, and the turbidity is not distinguished. "Deify Lao Tzu as a god of the innate earth, and equate it with the "Tao". When Emperor Shun, Zhang Ling founded the Five Bucket Rice Road in Bashu Heming Mountain, that is, Lao Tzu was the leader. It is rumored that Zhang Ling's "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" written during his preaching and preaching said: "One is also the Tao." ...... One is outside the heavens and the earth, and it enters the heavens and the earth, but the ears of the people who come and go. ...... A scattered form is qi, a condensed form is Taishang Laojun, Changzhi Kunlun, or a word of nothingness, or a word of nature, or a nameless, all of the same ear. "For the first time, the name of Taishang Laojun appeared in the Taoist book. To the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the name of Taishang Laojun became more and more obvious. In May of the third year of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, "the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism were first broken, and the scriptures were destroyed, and the Shamen and Taoist priests were dismissed, and the people were ordered to be returned." According to the Taoist book, at that time, Taishang Laojun sent an envoy to manifest the spirit. After a month, Emperor Wu issued another edict and said: "To the Tao is deep, mixed into boundless, the body is empty, and the reason is extremely mysterious." ...... Today, the passage can be set up to view the capital...... And it should be elaborated and consistent. It shows that at that time, he had already begun to use Taishang Laojun to interfere in court affairs.

To the Tang Dynasty, the majesty of Taishang Laojun was even more prosperous. He was not only regarded as the ancestor of the Li Tang Dynasty, but also helped Tang Gaozu Li Yuan to pacify the world, it is said that when Wu Zetian usurped the Li Tang Dynasty, he appeared and came into the world, saying that "the Empress Wu cannot be revolutionary" and "must not set up a different surname." ...... The Empress Wu was also afraid of this and did not dare to think twice." Therefore, during the Tianbao period, Xuanzong finally gave him the title of "Great Sage Ancestor High to Jinque Xuanyuan Emperor and the Great". In August of the sixth year of Song Dazhong Xiangfu (1013), the plus number was "Taishang Laojun mixed Yuan Shangde Emperor".
