Chapter 129 Ruism, Buddhism and Daoism, On Emerging Immortal Dao (Part 2)

Old Heavenly Master hands behind ones back: “Achievements How can feathering be so simple? If you can feather by following the previous cultivation step by step, then the characters who can reach this level in the Inhuman world will not be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.”

“As for your question, the old man has no ability to answer it for you, because the old man’s thoughts are naturally different from yours, that is to say, the Tao is different.”

Lu Zhen stared at the profile of the old Heavenly Master: ” Dare to ask what the old Heavenly Master said?”

“What is there to talk about in the old way? After several decades, it’s just a pile of bones, and it has nothing to learn from you.” The old Heavenly Master laughed at himself, “Looking at the way of the predecessors of Yuhua can be enlightening.”

After a short pause, the Heavenly Master continued: “Your question has been discussed by the predecessors long ago, and Guo Xiang has said, ‘There is nothing in living things. , and things produce their own ears’, and also said that ‘all things must take all things as positive, and what is natural, what is not and what is natural’, that is to say, the changes of all things in the world are natural.”

Lu Zhen pondered Then said: “Divine Item is unique in the realm of Profound Abyss?”

“Yes.” The old Heavenly Master followed suit, as if teaching his Disciple, “Divine Item is unique in the realm of Profound Abyss, while Famous religion is also included in the Divine Item, so it is also natural and in line with human nature, so it is also called ‘the famous religion is nature’.”

“The famous religion may be Heaven among the ancients. and Earth is the meaning of the master and teacher, but if you understand it as what you mean by benevolence and righteousness, then your doubts will naturally not be a problem.”

“Since all things are isolated in the realm of Profound Abyss , and things grow independently, all real existences are self-sufficient in their own nature, and they are inseparable, and of course all conform to the principles of nature.”

The old Heavenly Master pointed to the sky, and then pointed to his chest: “Look, Tianli will naturally contact me if he doesn’t Are you up? You said that inaction and being-based are one, and Taoist inaction and Confucian benevolence and righteousness do not have the slightest contradiction. “

Lu Zhen recalled the old Heavenly Master’s words, and murmured: “Does this open up the gap between Heavenly Dao and people’s hearts?” “

“In Guo Xiang’s place, Heavenly Dao and people’s hearts, inaction and existence are not a problem. The old Heavenly Master said leisurely, “This is Guo Xiang’s way, but not yours, so even if you listen to this, you may just think that he has some truth in what he said, rather than be convinced and take it as the standard of your life. “

“You have some doubts in your mind, you probably haven’t finished reading the book I borrowed from you. Once you read it carefully, you will naturally understand this, and you don’t need to mention it.” “

“Guo Xiang’s way…” Lu Zhen thought for a long time before he said, “‘In terms of World’s All Living Things, it’s just a principle’, from the principle of Heaven and Earth to the principle of human hearts , From the principles of nature to the principles of human ethics, in Guo Xiang, Confucianism and Taoism have become a family. ”

The old Heavenly Master laughed and said: ‘The Doctrine of the Mean says, the destiny is called nature, the straightforwardness is called Dao, and the cultivation of Dao is called teaching’, Mencius said that there are four ends, also known as ‘benevolence, righteousness, Ritual and wisdom are not from the outside to show me, but I am inherent in them.”

“When it came to the Neo-Confucianism of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi said, ‘Before there was Heaven and Earth, after all, it was also It’s just reason. With this reason, there is Heaven and Earth. If there is no reason, there is no Heaven and Earth. No one has nothing, and there is nothing to carry. If there is reason, there will be qi, and all things will flourish.”

“In the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Wang Yangming said, ‘There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and eliminating evil for good is a matter of distinction’.”

“Looking at the development of Confucianism, it has always penetrated with the development of Taoism. Among the ancients, there were not a few people who advocated the unity of Confucianism and Taoism, and there were even many people who advocated that Ruism, Buddhism and Daoism were originally one family.”

Lu Zhen looked towards the old Heavenly Master: “When the mind is born, all kinds of laws are born, and when the mind disappears, all kinds of laws are extinguished. If one thought does not arise, it will be free from life and death. The Buddhist and Taoist concepts of inaction are similar, and Guo Xiang is close to Confucianism. The old Taoism is incompatible.”

The old Heavenly Master said: “The Ancestor Master of Chongyang said, ‘Confucian Sect Shihu Dao Idol is fluent, Three Sects have always been a ancestral style’, there are no two ways in this world, and Saint does not Two minds, it would be easier to understand if the three schools of thought were three branches that originated from the same source.”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhen puzzled and said: “If the so-called Tao of Taoism is interpreted differently by each person, Then there must be some people who are wrong, some people are right, and even those seniors who have emerged have different opinions, but they have also emerged. Is the wrong way also not hindering the emergence?”

“Perhaps Are they all right?” The old Heavenly Master picked up a pebble, “Look at this pebble, you can see different scenes from different directions.”

“If you don’t see it, it’s called Yi Yi. If you don’t hear it, it’s called Xi; if you can’t fight it, it’s called Wei. These three cannot be questioned, so they are mixed into one.”

“Compared to Dao Idol, a persons life is so insignificant. How shallow is the knowledge? ‘Life has a limit, and knowledge has no limit. With a limit, there is no limit, and one’s self’, let alone a comprehensive understanding of the omnipresent, Innate Tao?”

” What each of us recognizes is only a corner of the Tao, so perhaps in What we think is wrong is not necessarily wrong in Dao, or it may be contradictory in our view, but it is not necessarily contradictory in Dao, because the little human heart cannot grasp the Dao that cannot be spoken or seen. “

Lu Zhen said with doubts: “Since this is the case, how can you ensure that the Tao that you have obtained is somewhat real, rather than a fictional Tao?” “

“How can this be guaranteed?” Just think that you are on the right path, then go on with confidence. “The old Heavenly Master sighed, “This is also the most difficult stage of my generation. If I make a mistake, then maybe I will be sure that I made a mistake until death, but at that time, what is the use other than regret? ”

“Just like the first step of Qi feeling, some people meditate for two days and feel that the dantian is smooth and there seems to be air passing by, and they think they perceive Qi. In fact, most of them are just illusions, serious. The point can even be said to be a cultivation deviation. “

Lu Zhen put out a breath: “This road is really cruel, if it’s really like what you said, you won’t know until you die…”

“You This kid is already the person with the highest aptitude I’ve ever seen, and he laments the cruelty of cultivating Taoism, so what else can others do? The old Heavenly Master squinted and glanced at Lu Zhen, “If you want to cultivate your body, you should maintain your qi. The “Tai Xian Zhen Jing” so-called ‘the way of benefit and change’. ‘Benefit’ is better for essence; ‘Easy’ is easy to shape. If it can be beneficial, it can be easily changed, and the name is immortal; if it is not beneficial, it will not be separated from death. “

“Qi turns into blood, blood turns into essence, essence turns into god, deity turns into liquid, and liquefaction turns into bone. Tireless, full of energy. Change Qi in one year, change blood in two years, change essence in three years, change pulse in four years, change marrow in five years, change bones in six years, change tendons in seven years, change hair in eight years, and change shape in nine years. ‘Shaping Yi’ means change, change means enlightenment, and enlightenment is immortal. ”

“The so-called Yiqi, when we perceive Qi, the cultivation technique, is already in the process of sitting and breathing, then by this standard, you brat is now full of energy and has reached the stage of Yijing, immortal. Dao has already achieved something, but what cruelty does he sigh? “

Lu Zhen said with a bitter smile: “Junior is still competing in Sea of Bitterness, you can really look up to Junior.” “

“Hahaha, don’t you also see old age?” The old Heavenly Master burst out laughing, “If his ambition, he will throw his body into a hungry tiger, forget his body and be shattered, walk through fire and water, stick to one ambition, and there will be no worries; if his ambition, he will focus on the true nature. “

“Go on with peace of mind, don’t worry too much, the Tao is out of the way, not out of your mind, thinking is useless, but there is a risk of cultivation deviation. “

Lu Zhen looked at the road under his feet and sighed: “My Dao…”

If the pursuit of immortal dao requires a Dao as a basis, then what is his Dao? ?

Remembering his two lifetimes, Lu Zhen actually found that he was like a hollow man.

keep on saying chasing immortal dao, but except for an empty immortal dao, in addition to surgery In addition, there is only a body left, and there is nothing to fill his immortal dao.
