readx;?“ What are you talking about, I didn't hear clearly?" I really didn't hear the causal rat's answer, so I asked again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ、

"Hide from the three plagues!" said the causal rat.

"Three plagues?" I asked.

"You don't even know about the three plagues, do you?" said the causal rat.

"How could I not know?!" I said.

These three calamities are the things that cultivators fear the most.

In the world I lived in before, there was a book called "Journey to the West", which once wrote:

Sun Wukong asked Bodhi Ancestor and said, "The disciple has been quite familiar with the Dharma recently, and his roots have gradually become stronger. (It means that you have learned the skills, you have embarked on the path of cultivation, and you are very strong.) ）

The patriarch said: "Since you have the ability to understand the law, you will get the root cause, and you have already injected the divine body, but you are only guarding against the benefits and harms of the three calamities. (Bodhi Ancestor also agrees with Sun Wukong's point of view, saying that he has already entered the door, but he still has no confidence in surviving these three disasters.) ）

When Wukong heard this, he pondered for a long time and said, "Master's words are false. I have heard that Gao Delong, who lives the same life as the sky, has both water and fire, and does not give birth to all kinds of diseases, but how can he have a 'three calamities and harms'?" (Sun Wukong, like me, is just a cultivator, how can he have heard of the benefits and disadvantages of these three calamities?) Of course, I still take advantage of the convenience of a traverser, even if I was not a cultivator before, but I still have some understanding of the benefits and disadvantages of these three calamities. ）

The patriarch said: "This is the extraordinary way, the creation of heaven and earth, and the mystery of invading the sun and the moon. After Dancheng, the ghosts and gods are intolerable. Although you live in Yan Yishou, but after 500 years, a thunderstorm will hit you from the sky, and you must see your nature and mind and avoid it in advance. can hide from longevity and Tianqi, but can't escape from death. Five hundred years later, a fire will burn you. This fire is not a heavenly fire, nor is it a mortal fire, but it is called a yin fire. Burning from under its own springs, it penetrates the mud wall, the five organs turn into ashes, and the limbs are decayed, and the thousands of years of asceticism are illusory. In another five hundred years, another wind and calamity will blow you. This wind is not the southeast and northwest wind, it is not the wind of the smoke Jinshuo, nor is it the wind of flowers, willows, pines and bamboos, it is called the wind of the eagle. Blowing into the six intestines from the fontanelle, passing through the dantian, wearing the nine orifices, the flesh and bones are thinned, and the body knows its own understanding. So you have to dodge. (Bodhi Ancestor, began to introduce the three disasters in detail, these three disasters are really incredible, the power is huge, and people can't prevent it.) ）

When Wukong heard this, he was terrified, and kowtowed: "Master Wanwang has mercy, and he will pass on and avoid the three calamities, but he will not dare to be ungrateful." (This Bodhi ancestor's introduction really made Sun Wukong stunned for a moment, and he was so frightened that he urgently wanted to crack it.)

It's like the roadside fortune teller said: "Don't go first, don't go first, I see that your alley is dark, the disaster is stormy, the Yin Tang is black, and the legs are weak, these days, there will be a disaster of blood and light!" Then the fortune teller shook his head again, pinched his fingers and decided, "A, B, C, D, Zi Chou Yin Mao ,......", and then: "Exclaimed, this benefactor, what kind of happy event have you encountered recently! Is it the joy of housewarming! Or the joy of the noble son!" The passer-by was shocked and said, "Sir, how did you calculate it?" ”

Of course, this hexagram can be "calculated", if it is really a person who feels that he has not been going well recently or a person who is in a mediocre mood, in fact, he has already been frightened by the first sentence of this hexagram "Yintang blackened, blood and light disaster" to stand in place, if this person, but he wants to walk away as if nothing happened, it means that he has recently had a happy event, and these scary words are all regarded as nonsense. The probability of one-in-half is still the enumeration method, how can this fortune teller still guess wrongly?

This passer-by has already taken the bait, and what is left is just a turning "but", and you can easily cheat the wronged boss out of a few fortune tellers.

The patriarch said: "There is nothing difficult about this, but you are different from others, so you can't pass it on." Wukong said: "I also have a head that is full of the sky, feet on the ground, generally have nine limbs, five internal organs, why is it different from people?" "It turned out that the monkey was lonely and had a concave face and a sharp mouth. Wukong stretched out his hand and touched it, and said with a smile: "Master didn't make it. Although I have less cheeks, I have more than people in this vegetarian bag, and I can also fold it. The patriarch said, "Well, you have to learn the general, there are 36 changes in the general number of heavens, and there are 72 changes in the general number of earths." Wukong said: "The disciple is willing to touch it for many miles and learn a change in the earth." The patriarch said, "In this case, come forward and pass on the mantra to you." Then he whispered in his ear, and did not know what wonderful method he had said. This monkey king is also a master of all his knacks, at that time he learned the mantra, self-cultivation and self-practice, and learned all the seventy-two changes. (This Monkey King, just to avoid the benefits of these three disasters, learned the seventy-two changes, and can already be regarded as living with heaven and earth, but, for some reason, he was still caught by the people of the underworld and went to the palace of Hades.) Of course, all of this is a planned and organized act. ）

Sun Wukong has actually learned the law of immortality, but this is also unable to avoid the three disasters from the sky (in fact, it is the catastrophe), and other methods are needed to avoid the benefits of the three disasters, because immortality is against the laws of nature, if this immortal cultivation method spreads, the people of the world are immortal, that is, no matter how big the world is, no matter how many the world is, this will one day, it will reach the maximum endurance of the world, this is not self-destruction, so the way of heaven cannot tolerate this kind of immortality, will find a way to die, these three disasters are all from heaven, are for everyone who has learned the method of immortality, and only will know seventy-two changes, every five hundred years, as long as the Dharma body is constantly changing, the heavenly calamity cannot be recognized, and it can naturally avoid the heavenly tribulation, and after the three tribulations, the body of the immortal golden immortal can be achieved. (How did this Monkey King survive these three calamities?? How should other people who do not change seventy-two times get through it?)

The so-called three calamities, that is, the cultivators because of the collection of heaven and earth aura, the essence of the sun and the moon, has sought to achieve the immortal Dao, the purpose of immortality, this violates the way of heaven, by the taboo of the sky, so every young man, naturally generate three calamities to kill him, all the people who cultivate, including the Taishang Laojun, the Jade Emperor and so on can not get rid of it. However, because of their vast magical powers, these people have long been immortal, and they can easily survive the tribulation. When making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Rulai once said that the Jade Emperor had gone through 1,750 calamities, and each calamity was 129,600 years.

So how did the seventy-two changes come to survive the tribulation? It may be that for example, when the fire tribulation came, Sun Wukong relied on the change to become something similar to fire or something that was not afraid of fire to escape. In addition, his tips for avoiding fire and water are all derived from the seventy-two changes. (The third chapter of Journey to the West: "Is it possible to go in the water of the king?", "My old grandson has seventy-two changes, great magical powers, water can't be drowned, fire can't be burned, where to go!"), of course, it may also be like Erlang God Yang Jian's eight or nine yuan gong, in addition to seventy-two changes, infinite changes, but also King Kong is not bad, and together to resist the catastrophe.

The monsters in Journey to the West, except for a very few of them, such as the Dapeng Bird, are about the same age as Rulai, and most of the monsters are about a thousand years old, this is because these monsters, in addition to the reason for cultivation, the natural life span is not long, and there is no peach and other immortal products to prolong life, there is also an important reason, that is, because most of the monsters can't withstand the catastrophe and die. Monsters like Sun Wukong, Erlang God and other monsters with advanced exercises such as seventy-two changes and eight or nine yuan gongs are rare after all. ）

It's also a shame that this Monkey King has a good master and gave him the cultivation method of seventy-two changes. And me?

"However, my cultivation level is still far from reaching the bottom of this immortality! These three calamities still can't find my head! Why are you in a hurry to resurrect the causal tree now?" I asked the causal rat.

"Take precautions, be prepared before you ,......," said the causal rat.

"Let's be honest. ......" I persuaded.

"This, this, I will also avoid these three calamities!" sighed the causal mouse.

"What, you want it too?" I exclaimed.

......

(What are the three plagues?)

Three disastersIn general, there are three disasters in the world, the so-called major three disasters and small three disasters. Each great tribulation consists of four eons: success, dwelling, destruction, and emptiness. Each medium eon, contains twenty minor eons. The three great calamities occurred at the end of the worst calamity. The three minor calamities occur when the life span of each minor tribulation decreases.

The three minor plagues are sword, plague, and famine. Seven days of the plague of the sword, seven days of the plague, seven of the seventh month, famine, seven days of the seventh month. According to Buddhist scriptures, every time a small eons pass in our world, there are three small calamities.

When the life expectancy of a person in every small eons is reduced to thirty years, there is a famine, and there is no rain for seven years, and no vegetation grows, and most of the human race is persecuted to death by hunger;

When the life expectancy was reduced to twenty years, there was a plague, and half of the human race died.

When the life expectancy is reduced to the age of ten, there is a sword and a plague, and at this time, every grass and tree has become a murder weapon, and human beings hate each other and kill each other, until there is not much left of human beings.

Yoga Volume 2 6 Pages Cloud: In this calamity, there are three kinds of minor disasters. It is said to be thrifty, sick, and knife.

The thrift: The so-called life expectancy is only established when it is thirty years old. At that time, the subtlety of eating and drinking will not be restored. Only decoction of rotten bones, a total of the meeting. If you find a grain of rice, wheat, barnyard and other seeds, it is as heavy as a nunnis, hide it in a box, and guard it. They are affectionate, but they have no momentum, and they are frozen on the ground, and they can no longer get up. As a result, hunger and thrift, affection and the like, are not exhausted. This thrift disaster was passed on by seven days and seven nights on the seventh day of the seventh month. They are affectionate, reunited and gathered, and they are disgusted and separated. As a result, life expectancy does not decrease, and thrift and disaster cease.

And if the life is twenty years old, the original is disgusted, and now it is a retreat. At that time, there were many epidemics, air barriers, disasters, and heat and annoyance. They are all sentient, and when they encounter these diseases, many of them are lost. If it is a plague, it will be passed on the seventh day and seven nights of the seventh month. They are affectionate, reunited and gathered, and they are disgusted and separated. As a result, life expectancy is undiminished, and sickness and calamity are relenting.

When he was ten years old, he was disgusted with trouble, and now he is retiring. From time to time, there is love, and they see each other, each with a fierce killing heart. From this cause, the grass and trees, and the tiles and stones have become the sharpest swords, and they are even more mutilated, and the death is slightly gone. If it is a sword plague, it will last for seven days before it can be passed.

Two Miscellaneous Collected Treatises, Six Volumes, Five Pages, and Three Kinds of Tribulations. The so-called famine, plague, sword soldiers. This small three calamities, when the calamity is full, will appear.

The Three Explanations of the Treatise on the Twelve Volumes and the Fourteenth Page of the Cloud: In the calamity, there are three small calamities. He said: The karma increases, the life expectancy decreases, to ten, and the three disasters appear. The knife is as hungry as it is times, and it ends in seven days, months, and years. Commentary: From all sentient beings, there are false words, all negative karmic paths, and then they increase. Therefore, the longevity of the people of the continent is gradually decreasing, and even the extreme ten, the small three disasters appear.

Therefore, all disasters are based on the two laws. 1. Delicious food. 2. Sexual laziness.

This small three disasters began at the end of the catastrophe. Three plagues: 1. Sword soldiers. 2. Epidemics. 3. Famine. It is said that at the end of the middle calamity, people are illegally corrupted and polluted, unequal love, and their hearts are blinded; evil laws linger, and poison increases; when they see each other, they become fierce and harmful, and now hunters see wild birds and beasts. Whatever you hold in your hand, you will become a sharp knife. Each of them is mad and kills each other. At the end of the catastrophe, when people were ten years old, they were due to the same mistakes as before, and they vomited poison from inhuman beings, and the epidemic was epidemic, and they could not be cured when they died.

And at the end of the calamity, when he was ten years old, he also had the same faults as before, and the heavenly dragon was angry, and did not rain sweetly. Because of the world, there has been famine for a long time. There is no support; Therefore, it is said: From famine, there will be gathering, white bones, and planning.

By two causes, the name has gathered.

(1) Gathering of people. It is said that at that time, people gathered from extreme hunger and died.

(2) Species gathering. It is said that the people of that time, for the benefit of future generations, gave up what they ate, put it in a small basket, and intended it to be a seed. Therefore, when there is a famine, the name is gathered.

There are white bones in words, and there are two causes.

(1) At that time, the body was boring, and before his life was long, the white bones appeared.

(2) At that time, people were forced by famine, gathered white bones, fried juice and drank them.

There are strategic suggestions, and there are two reasons.

(1) From the lack of food, the line of food is raised. It is said that in a family, from the eldest to the youngest, with the fund, there is less coarse meals.

(2) It is said to raise the old field, get less grains, fry more with water, and drink them together to save the rest of your life.

However, there is a supreme teaching, and it is said that the other side is governed. It is said that if you can keep the vow of not killing for a day and a night, in the next life, you will decide not to encounter a sword and a disaster.

If you can use a pear and a chicken (plant, fruit name) to purify your heart and give to the monks, then in the next life, you will decide not to encounter a disease or epidemic.

If you are able to purify your heart with a handful of food and give alms to the monks, then in the next life, you will decide not to suffer from famine.

How long did each of these three plagues take to start? The plague began, on the 7th of July. Famine, July 7th of the seventh year. That's it. Life expectancy is increasing. The two continents of the east and west seem to have a disaster. It is said that the eyes are prosperous, the mental strength is poor, and the number is hungry and thirsty. There is no in the North Continent.

The three major disasters are fire, flood, and wind. This is the destruction of the great galaxies, not only the Earth, but the solar system, the Milky Way, and so on. Take the sixty-four eons as a cycle.

The fire burned to the first Zen, the flood flooded to the second Zen, the wind disaster can blow the three Zen, and the four Zen can avoid these three disasters, so the four Zen is called Futian, and the good fortune is really great. The "Lengyan Sutra" talks about the three major disasters, and the cause of the flood is greed, if the greed of people all over the world gradually rises, it will be flooded. The cause of the fire is the scarcity, the eruption of the volcano, the scarcity. Ignorance is the cause of wind disasters, and the main cause of hurricanes and tornadoes is ignorance. Arrogance is the cause of earthquakes. Buddha Cloud, if people can stop greed, ignorance, ignorance, and arrogance, cut off these four major afflictions, and diligently cultivate precepts, concentration, wisdom, and humility, then the disaster will naturally be resolved.

If you live in a calamity, you will enter a bad calamity, and there will be 20 increases and decreases in the bad calamity. The first nineteen increases and decreases the calamity, and the bad has a loving world. The last increase and decrease of calamity. Bad things in the world. There are three types of fire, flood, and wind disaster in the world. It is called the three major disasters. These three plagues did not arise at the same time, but in their own turns. Take the bad world also.

The first fire, the seven sun wheels, came out at the same time, burning this world, descending from the Infernal Hell, up to the beginning of the **** Zen Heaven.

The second flood, descending from the infernal hell to the second Zen heaven of ****, is the one who is immersed in water.

The third wind disaster, down from the infernal hell to the **** of the third Zen heaven, all matter. for the wind-drifters.

Secondly, there was a fire of seven degrees. Then there was one flood, then seven fires, and then one flood. In this way, there is one water for every seven fires, and after seven degrees of floods, there are seven degrees of fires, and there is one wind disaster, and then three disasters are for a week, and there are eight seven fires, one hundred and seven floods, and one wind disaster, so that there is a total of sixty-four degrees of great disaster. That is, the sixty-four great calamities (there are four calamities of success, dwelling, destruction, and emptiness in one great calamity, and there is a great calamity at the end of the bad calamity).

The twelfth theory of the club says: "The first fire arises, and it appears from the seventh day." The flood began and was caused by the rain. After the wind disaster, the wind strikes each other. These three calamities are bad in the world. Even the tinyest is not left. The second meditation is the top of the fire, and the lower part is burned by the fire. The third meditation is the top of the flood, which is infiltrated by water. The fourth meditation is the top of the wind disaster, and the wind is scattered here. (omitted) first seven fires, followed by a flood, after the seven fires and a water, if so, even seven floods, after the seven fires, the wind disaster, if there are always eight seven fires, seven floods and one wind disaster. ”

The three calamities of Taoism: Qingwei Sanpin to Dao Ji Shen Tong Miaodian Mahayana Tribulation True Sutra (terminology) Zhu, do not hear the avenue, do not meet real people, then there are three disasters, to erode the sound of food. But if you don't realize, your success will be wasted. What are the three plagues?

A gangfeng. If it is a gangfeng, it is as sharp as a blade, its sharp as a cone, through the door, for a moment and three moments, through the sound of the bone joints, until the spring, the limbs are hairy, a moment of liberation, into feathers, floating nothing. It is this wind that cannot be eroded.

The poisonous fire, from the bottom up, penetrates the top door, and also attacks the viscera, burns the limbs, pores and hairline, and in an instant, turns into ashes. It is this wind and fire, all of which are harmless, and if it is a function, it can also be cloudy.

The first unheard of the Tao was followed by five thunderbolts, each of which attacked in a circle. When the Tao is not heard, in an instant, the spirit is scattered and never condensed.

Therefore, we must not ignore the avenue, and if we do not investigate the avenue, it will be difficult to get rid of the three calamities! All the three treasures are in vain. However, Peters, knowing this, followed each other, trekked through the mountains and rivers, visited the high truth, and in order to say the avenue, he would never leave the three calamities.

However, this avenue is also very difficult to say, so it is difficult to say, to see that there is no beginning, the beginning of no beginning, to no beginning, no beginning, it is innate. The innate way, can not be proposed, there is nothing to propose, what to say? cannot be spoken, but for the sake of words, what is the beginning of what is said? Gai Ke said, only for doing, what is the name of doing? The so-called promising, if you work hard, you should ask the king. The so-called king of the heart has great enlightenment.

In the past, when I saw a text, it was said that the specific performance of these three disasters in real life was also quite reasonable, as follows

"First, the thunderstorm, the explosion of the collapse, you will hang, is there such a mysterious thing? Yes, it is actually an asteroid impact, the extinction of the dinosaurs is, that disaster, which led to the extinction of more than 75% of the creatures, the extinction of the dinosaurs, in the White Age strata, leaving a large amount of iridium, iridium is very common in space, but the earth is a rare element, Mexico, also left a crater of hundreds of kilometers. The ancients didn't understand what an asteroid was, they only knew that there was a thing outside the sky, a loud noise, everything turned to ashes, because there was an explosion, a loud noise, so it was thought to be thunder.

Second, the wind disaster, as soon as this wind blows, you will be sparse from your flesh and bones, and there is such a strange wind? Some are actually superplanetary explosions, which emit a huge amount of gamma rays, commonly known as radiation. No living thing can stop radiation, this thing is the same as the wind, colorless, odorless, formless, but real, as soon as it comes, you will naturally be dissipated. The ancients did not understand what radiation was, so they thought it was blown by the wind. On Earth, there was also a Cambrian-Ordovician mass extinction, presumably caused by a supernova, the gamma rays released by the explosion, this extinction, killing 80% of the life on Earth.

Thirdly, the fire, the patriarch said that this fire burns from the bottom up, not from somewhere else, and it instantly turns your five organs into ashes, is there such a terrible fire that erupts from the bottom up? Yes, it is a super volcano and a pillar of the earth. The Devonian-Carboniferous mass extinction was caused by the Dihan pillar, the Permian mass extinction, which killed more than 95% of living things, and is presumed to be caused by a supervolcano, which was directly caused by the mammals. Of course, the ancients did not understand what a supervolcano was, so they directly named it fire based on the sensory phenomenon.

There is one thing that the ancients understood, this is a universal law, that is, if you live too long, ghosts and gods are intolerable, invertebrates live for hundreds of millions of years, the sky is angry, a gamma ray extinguishes you, go home and sell betel langs; like mammals are rampant for hundreds of millions of years, the sky is angry, a fire burns you, see you ducks are still screaming; dinosaurs have flourished for nearly 200 million years, the sky is angry, an asteroid blows you up, go to the museum to play. These are those who have not escaped the three plagues.

So whether it is the three calamities that Taoism says, or the catastrophe that Buddhism says, it is actually one thing, that is, a catastrophe, and they also realize that they have to come every once in a while, the patriarch said five hundred years, modern science says hundreds of millions of years, in fact, they are the same thing, that is, they will come to destroy you once in a while, or maybe the five hundred years that the patriarch said is just an imaginary number, which generally refers to a long time. ”

Let's see what Patriarch Bodhi said: "This is the extraordinary way, the creation of heaven and earth, and the mystery of invading the sun and the moon." After Dancheng, the ghosts and gods are intolerable."

It is true that the so-called heaven and earth do not exist because of Yao, and they do not perish. The avenue is fair and selfless. You get a point for what you give, and you don't get a trick. In order to seek enlightenment, you will seize the creation of heaven and earth, and invade the mystery of the sun and the moon, so sooner or later heaven and earth will want you to return and punish you, so that the three calamities will fall. This is the principle of the peace of heaven and earth.

Animals in the world are the most difficult to cultivate. For five birds and six animals, pay off debts with their bodies, and for mountain and wild animals, they suffer from bitter wind and rain, and endure hunger. And intercepting the essence of the sun and the moon to refine its spirit, intercepting the vitality of heaven and earth to increase its longevity, and intercepting the first opportunity to become its right position is the most convenient way to cultivate the path! It is called the interception of the door and the interception of religion by the world. And this faction is the Lingbao faction!

Has anyone ever seen a real Buddhist practitioner struck by thunder from the sky? Buddhism cultivates its own spiritual spirit, and it is also the profound Dharma gate between heaven and earth. One thought is good practice, ten thousand Buddhas are blessed, do not invade the heaven and earth, do not take the sun and the moon, therefore, Buddhist practitioners will not suffer from the three disasters. The flesh is also not wanted.

Winning the essence of heaven and earth, in order to cultivate oneself, can get twice the result with half the effort, but it is not in line with the way of heaven and earth to peace. It is necessary to repay the benefits and harms of the three calamities. Lingbao Tianzun, the transmission is naturally the Fa-rectification, first, the disciples who practice their exercises, with the Dharma swear and drive for heaven and earth, become the god of doing things for heaven and earth, deacons, can be obtained, the recognition of the avenue of heaven and earth; second, those who make a vow to repay the kindness of heaven and earth, just like Sun Wukong seeking the Tao from Bodhi Patriarch, vow never to be ungrateful. Under the support of the Fa-rectification, these two methods can change the benefits and harms of the three calamities into three refinements. Use the great power of heaven and earth to temper yourself, and turn yourself into a treasure, and you don't have to worry about it, you can't bear the death of your body.

Where there is a main entrance, there is a side door. It's not just that any animal or human being can easily get this Dao Method, and it is a mystery of this Method. Stealing the essence of heaven and earth for personal use will inevitably lead to three calamities. Especially animal practitioners. Stealing too much of the essence of heaven and earth, although it is beneficial to survive the catastrophe, but the achievement is also small, and the time limit is still dead;

What are the three calamities?

The "Three Calamities" and the "Eight Tribulations" both have specific references in Buddhist scriptures, which are different from the general usage of the proverb. Buddhism believes that the world is a great eons from its formation to its destruction, and it goes through four stages: "becoming, dwelling, deteriorating, and emptiness", and the cycle repeats. In the later stage of the "dwelling tribulation", sentient beings behave in a deceitful manner and their life expectancy decreases, and disasters such as famine, disease, and sword soldiers occur one after another, which are called the "Little Three Calamities". At the end of the "bad calamity", even more terrible fires, floods, and wind disasters occur, known as the "Great Three Calamities". The final storm blew the world into nothing, thus entering the "empty catastrophe".

Song Guo Ruoxu's "Pictures and Stories" Volume 2 records that the late Tang Dynasty monk Zhiyun once painted a number of walls of "Three Disasters in Disguise" in Luoyang Fuxian Temple. The "Eight Tribulations" refer to the eight situations in which it is difficult to see the Buddha and hear the Dharma and cannot cultivate the Tao: "One is hell, two are beasts, three are hungry ghosts, four are blind, deaf and dumb, five are wise and discerning, six are before and after the Buddha, seven are depressed and single and cross the country, and eight are longevity." (Sui Huiyuan's "Mahayana Righteous Chapter" Volume 8) The first three difficulties are the "three evil paths", plus "blind, deaf and dumb", which is called "suffering obstacles". "Yudan Yue Kingdom" is the North Continent in the four continents, which means "victory", blessed without wisdom; The above two difficulties are called the difficulty of "happiness disorder". In addition, those who are "wise and intelligent" are self-righteous, which is called the difficulty of "increasing evil"; those who are "before and after the Buddha" are unable to see the Buddha and hear the Dharma, which is called the difficulty of "good and subtle". For example, the fourth and fifth chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions": "Since childhood, there have been three disasters and eight tribulations, and the silver turned into silver has also beaten you." ”

The three disasters suffer from the three major natural disasters. One is wind damage, the second is fire, and the third is flooding.

For those who are in the Eight Difficulties, it is difficult for one to be born humanely, the second is to be separated from a woman to become a man, the third is difficult to be physically complete, the fourth is difficult to be born in the Middle Earth, the fifth is difficult to have a Taoist king, the sixth is difficult to be benevolent, the seventh is difficult to be peaceful in the country, and the eighth is difficult to meet the Three Jewels.

The eight difficulties of the volume "Miscellaneous Cultivation and Photography" of the volume of "Yun Ji Seven Signatures" are the first difficulty of not abandoning the Taoist heart, the second difficulty of not being a master, the third difficulty of not entrusting idleness, the four difficulties of not giving up world affairs, the five difficulties of not cutting affection, the six difficulties of not making profits, the seven difficulties of not removing joy and anger, and the eight difficulties of constantly ****.

What is the origin and significance of the three disasters in the world of Journey to the West?

This is also a text that I saw, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

"The world was originally a mess of chaos, and Pangu lived in it. Later, Pangu opened the world and embodied all things. Pangu itself does not exist, but he continues to exist in the world as all things---- that is, everything in the world is a continuation of Pangu.

Heaven and earth are opened, and there is a way. The Tao is natural, from chaos to the world, and it is two instruments for Taiji. Everything is in the second place. In other words, after the opening of heaven and earth, through the cultivation of Taoism, some remnants of Pangu evolved into people. And the earliest people were Hongjun Laozu, Taishang Laojun and others. Through their comprehension of the Tao, they created the Tao to educate and educate the human beings who gradually evolved. Therefore, the Tao is the root, the source, and the head of all things. Lao Jun and others are known as Taoist ancestors, and they are the ancestors since the beginning of the world.

Taoist education rules, education, education, education, education, education, education, education, education.

Cultivators become great, they are gods, they are immortals, and there are immortals in the world. And the Tao is all-encompassing, those who have not attained the great perfection, those who have obtained their skin, those who go against the Dao, those who practice the side door born from the Tao, are scattered immortals, Buddhas, demons, monsters, demons, elves, monsters, and visions.

Later, those who have materialized from Pangu and become human beings gradually have seven emotions and six desires, and it is difficult to become immortals. Therefore, the gods and demons are mixed in one life. Messy and complicated. Therefore, the immortals founded the heavenly realm and separated from the Yanfu world, and since then, there has been a heavenly court and a human world.

And due to the different bodies and objects in Pangu, the divine power and aura they have are also different. Therefore, the spirituality of the people who are embodied in the various bodies is different, and the abilities of the people themselves are also different. The arrogant become gods and immortals, and the weak fall into human ethics and die in the mortal world.

Pangu created heaven and earth and embodied all things. And their own disasters are also dispersed to all things and things--- all those who have spiritual aura to become immortals will suffer one disaster every 500 years, and the harm will arise from themselves and cannot be avoided by themselves, a total of 1500 years, which is the three disasters.

And this calamity is reflected on mortals, and it is all kinds of diseases. And the sickness of people is the disaster of immortals.

In order to achieve immortality, Daozu saved the immortals, studied the method of creating alchemy, obtained the golden pill, and ate it to avoid the three disasters, and became a great Luo golden immortal, immortal.

There is a great god in heaven, and it is for the queen mother. In order to maintain the heavenly court, I tried my best to do my best. Thanks to the heavenly court and spiritual land, planting peaches, eating them can also avoid the three disasters and live forever. And the peach production is quite abundant, so it can be distributed, and there are many people who benefit from it, and there are many followers, so the power of Heavenly Court grows.

Pan Tao Jindan is a panacea for curing diseases and disasters.

In fact, the three disasters are a law of natural elimination. In other words, immortals are also inevitably dead. Because if you cultivate to become an immortal, you can not die, then, without punishment, there will be more and more immortals in the sky. With the accumulation of time, the heavenly court must also be overcrowded. Therefore, due to the three calamities, the gods will also carry out natural elimination. And those who are chosen by the heavenly court can get the peach and continue to survive.

In this way, we have figured out that, simply put, immortality is the realm that the immortals, Buddhas, and saints can only achieve by avoiding and resolving the benefits and harms of the three calamities. The so-called immortality is two stages. Cultivating to become an immortal can lead to immortality. And if you want to not grow old, that is, to live forever, you need to survive the three disasters.

"The root of the three calamities, in the body rather than outside the body, is like the body's own mutated cells, attacked by white blood cells, this is a lot in the Republic of China Xianxia novels, generally can not be avoided, but some special substances can block this attack, so some immortal cultivators have learned to shrink the head of the turtle, but this kind of evasion, after all, is not a cure, and it has to fight with it in the end.

Of course, peaches and ginseng fruits may indeed have the function of reducing the three calamities, but these are dispensable for the old immortals such as the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. It's like the agarwood tea of the rich now, it naturally feels good to drink it, and it doesn't matter much if you don't eat it, it's just unpleasant. ”

Therefore, not only me, but also this causal rat, is also very eager to hope that I can resurrect this causal tree as soon as possible.
