The basic taboo of Taoism

A: Addressing the problem

Taoism does not distinguish between men and women, after the entry to the brother and sister, the female Taoist is also called Kun Dao, the male Taoist is also called the dry road; although Taoism has a generational difference, but because of the many Taoist branches, the apprentices are only distinguished by the size before and after the entry, regardless of age, and the inheritance time is long, so even if the Longmen faction is a hundred characters in the spectrum, there are many high and low generations; if it is not a teacher of the Dharma lineage, regardless of the seniority, it is generally possible to meet and call the senior brother or Taoist friend, a certain master, the same Dharma lineage has a teacher-inheritance relationship must be in accordance with the rules, call the uncle, Uncle, master, etc.

Lay people with religious beliefs or who enter Taoist temples to visit and meet cultivators, regardless of age, should be called master, Taoist, master, etc., and the master is different from the master, and is not in the relationship between the master and the teacher, and is generally called the master instead of the master.

When Taoists greet each other, they are "compassionate" and "compassionate" rather than "immeasurable celestial" as falsely propagated; when blessing or saying goodbye or praying, there will be "immeasurable heavenly deity for blessed life", "immeasurable deity for meritorious merits", "immeasurable deity for saving people", and so on.

B: The Tao does not speak of longevity

Taoism pays attention to longevity, between the body and the heaven and the earth, between the gods and the universe, to explore the mystery of life, looking forward to immortality, and Taoism introductory practice, regardless of age, to the order of entry and the teacher to determine the generation, therefore, the Tao does not say longevity is a basic taboo in Taoism, and it is extremely impolite to ask the age of the Taoist; in the same way, every Taoist monk has his own reasons for becoming a monk, everyone has their own privacy, since they have decided to serve the ancestors, they will more or less have their own experiences, these experiences are not willing to be said by some Taoist priests, so it is also very impolite to ask a Taoist priest why he is a monkใ€‚

C: Don't talk about three

Don't talk about dreams in the morning, don't talk about killing at noon, don't talk about ghosts and gods at night: When you get up in the morning, the yang energy is in full bloom, and it is not appropriate to discuss night dreams to avoid affecting your mood, after all, sweet dreams are one or two out of ten, nightmares come unscheduled, dreams are mostly chaotic and different from daily life, so don't dream in the morning, let yourself maintain a good attitude, get rid of negative energy, and face a positive day of life.

At this time, it is easy to breed yin and kill, which is contrary to compassion, and in the long run, it will affect the self's heart, so it is not said to kill at noon.

Don't talk about ghosts and gods at night, when it is night, the yin atmosphere is thick, the city is still good, the mountains or the countryside, the suburbs or the beginning of the deserted population, do not talk about ghosts and gods, after the time, do not watch horror movies and ghost movies, etc., it is easy to affect yourself.

Ding: Study the classics

There are many Taoist classics, and many classics in traditional Chinese culture are closely related to Taoism, and the classics are as vast as a sea of smoke. At the same time, learning the classics is an important way to increase cultivation, some of the classics are quite taboo, the general Taoist classics, you can choose to study daily, the scriptures of the law are especially designed to the content of death, can not be read lightly, such content should be asked by the old practitioners, and then study.

Of course, taboos are more of a rule or a means to restrain people who are to constantly improve themselves, and their minds have been moving for nine days, so they should not learn the classics or exaggerate the taboos of learning the classics, no matter what others say, self-wisdom and clarity, not superstition and confusion are the most important.

E: E is not true

On the day of the lunar calendar, the Taoist temple does not carry out ritual activities such as opening the altar, chanting sutras, and setting up Jiao, that is, on the day of the lunar calendar with Wu (Wuzi, Wuyin, Wuchen, Wuwu, Wushen, Wuxu); on important Taoist festivals or large-scale festivals, it is necessary to carry out ritual activities on the Wu day; when studying Taoist classics or engaging in Taoist good deeds, there is no need to avoid the Wu day, respect and not superstitious view of the Wu day, and the taboo is to let everyone have a rule, not to be afraid.
