The Evangelistic Pavilion is the place where the sect preaches and teaches the profession, it is not a single attic, but a series of attic groups including the main pavilion, the Rune Academy, and the refining hall.

It was built on flat ground halfway up Mt. Doshi. The water system on the mountain converges here to form a lake, and the streams on several mountain peaks fall in the lake to form a number of large or small beautiful waterfalls, and there are various lotus flowers planted in the lake, so everyone calls this lake Baolian Lake.

On the shore of Baolian Lake, according to the trend of mountains and rivers, there are a series of pavilions and pavilions, and the Evangelist Pavilion is one of them.

By the time a few people arrived at the Evangelistic Pavilion, most of the disciples who were listening to the lecture had already arrived, or they were discussing together, meditating, or meditating on something.

"Senior Brother Hua, Senior Brother Mu, who is following you, why haven't you seen her", someone spotted Lan Yumeng at a glance and asked the two of them, and the others also paid attention.

Hua Yu and the others briefly introduced Lan Yumeng to everyone, and after saying hello, several people quietly found a place to sit down, Hua Yu also closed his eyes and recuperated, Lan Yumeng looked around, and Mu Ziyu joined a group of discussion teams, chatting happily.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

After a few bells, Hua Yu opened his eyes, only to see a middle-aged man with a slightly majestic face sitting on the high platform in the front, about thirty or forty years old, dressed in a white purple striped shirt, wearing a topaz crown, and a beard.

After seeing the visitor, all the disciples got up and bowed: "True people are all safe."

The real person's name is Yuan De, who is in charge of the outer gate, responsible for the way of education of the outer disciples, and is the head of all the elders of the outer gate. Generally, the teaching does not come forward, and is mainly responsible for teaching some unique secret methods of the sect that do not record words, as well as explaining some Taoist classics.

The real person pressed his hands and motioned, "Let's sit down!"

After the disciples were seated, they really spoke: "Today we will talk about my Taixuan's cultivation philosophy, so that everyone can understand the concept and pursuit of the sect, so that they can position themselves and find their own set of ideas in the general direction of the sect."

After everyone thought about it for a while, he said: "A person's philosophy of doing things is like an indicator light in the entire life trajectory, determining the direction of major choices in life, and different ideas point to different directions." ”

The real person pauses and then asks, "What if a person is not firm in his or her own set of ideas at all?"

"You can only follow the crowd and go with the flow," one person replied.

"Yes, if that's the case, then whenever you make a big decision, you can't control the direction you are going, and this is a big taboo for my generation of cultivators. This philosophy of doing things is the foundation of the Dao mind of our generation of cultivators, and if the concept is not strong, the Dao mind will not be stable. ”

After hearing the real person say this, everyone realized the importance of the idea, or discussed it one after another, or pondered what their own philosophy was.

Clang...

The real person rang the bell to bring back everyone's thoughts, and continued to teach and preach.

"Now we all know the importance of ideas, so can we establish any concept? Obviously, this is not the case, if it is a concept of profit, forgetting what is right, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, etc., although it is also a concept, it is already an extreme concept, and it already belongs to the devil's way. ”

Speaking of this, the real person paused for a moment and continued: "It can be seen that the concept is very important, and it is not enough to have any idea, because there is etiquette and morality in addition to the concept, and etiquette and morality do not mean that we must be moral saints and use etiquette and morality to kidnap everyone, but the bottom line that a person calls a human being is the fundamental difference between the human race and other races." ”

"The cultivators of my generation, although they have a transcendent status, are not without scruples. ”

"So, what is the cultivation philosophy of our Taixuan Sect?"

The crowd was lost in thought.

"Maybe everyone knows some of the concepts of the sect more or less, so what are the specific concepts, and why are these concepts like this?"

For the question of the real person, Hua Yu fell into thinking, and had not thought about this problem so deeply in the past, the concept that the real person said was like the ideal pursuit of life in another world, but it was different.

Yuan Dezhen thought for everyone for a while and then continued: "This has to start from the origin of my sect. ”

"My Taixuanzong was created by the patriarch of the founding sect, Lingji Zhenren, and Lingji Zhenren is the disciple of Yuanhua Daojun, so I respect Yuanhua Daojun as the Taishang Patriarch of my Taixuanzong. ”

"Patriarch Taishang was born after the great changes in heaven and earth, and experienced the most difficult days of the human race, and his appearance is also one of the important reasons why the human race can rise rapidly after the great changes in heaven and earth. After arduous exploration, he believed that cultivators are based on the truth of the Great Dao and endless knowledge. Cultivation is the cultivation of the mind, and it should be pursued to increase wisdom and knowledge, and power and magic spells are just the use of wisdom knowledge. ”

"This concept of the Supreme Patriarch has had a profound impact on the entire monastic world, and since then the monastic world has gone to another path, and I won't say much about it here, you can go to the library to look through the relevant books. ”

"And my sect naturally regards this concept as the monastic principle of this sect, and the word 'Taixuan' of Taixuanzong is derived from this, Tai Xuan: Zhi Ye, Ji Ye, Xuan Zhi: Supreme Xuan, Xuan Zhi Xuan Ye, Tai Xuan is to pursue the ultimate avenue as the highest concept. ”

Therefore, the path of cultivation should pay attention to the heavens and people, pursue to make up for the shortcomings of heaven and earth, create heaven and earth, and achieve harmony and unity between oneself and heaven and earth, so that one can not only get the help of heaven, but also realize the road of enlightenment. Because of this, the patriarch established the path of creation"

"Second generation patriarch ......"

"Zhongxing Patriarch ......"

...

On the basis of the two patriarchs, and after the exploration of countless sages of the sect, the current concept was formed, and this road can be said to be obtained by the sages after repeated attempts and hardships. ”

"The inheritance of this set of ideas is not easier than the inheritance of other avenues of this sect, it runs through all aspects of the sect, and is even more important than the inheritance of other avenues, which is the foundation of the sect. It can also be said that it is a special kind of Great Dao inheritance in itself, and it is the backbone of the entire Great Dao inheritance of the sect. ”

...

Yuande Zhenren introduced the origin and development of the concept inheritance of the sect in detail, and then said to everyone: "Of course, there is no absolute right or wrong between each sect and each person's concept, after all, different people's ideas will definitely not be the same, and you can't force others to obey your own ideas. ”

"Why didn't the sect teach you the concept of the sect from an early age, it was because you had not formed your own view of right and wrong when you were a child, you were not yet autonomous, and you had too little knowledge. ”

"Now that you are almost on the verge of entering the Tao, it is the best time to establish your own philosophy, and I hope that you can clarify your own philosophy as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Dezhen said here and then continued: "Of course, this kind of thing is not urgent, you must go with the flow, follow your heart, and you can't force it. ”

"In order to help everyone have a deeper understanding of the ideas, I will distribute to each disciple a book of Taoism called "Songs of the Taixuan Dao", which records in detail the various important concepts of the sect and their sources and developments. ”

In addition, there are also some sect rules and the perception of the ancestors of the sect on the Great Dao in the Taoist book. The Great Dao concepts, Dao perceptions, and door rules of these sects have been compiled into some catchy songs. ”

"This book of Taoism is a book that every disciple of Taixuan Sect carries with him for life, guiding and alerting every disciple of Taixuan at any time. I hope you will be able to cherish it too. ”

"Okay, that's all for today's sermon, and you can ask any questions now. ”
