The Great Doorway of Daoism

Chapter 298



After several years of hard practice, hualanting finally waited until they went out again.

One of the reasons is that the temple established by the late old friends of the five generations of ancestors in the southern Huayan Shenyu coincided with the 3000 year old ceremony. Invitations were widely distributed and invited to watch the ceremony in front of the Vientiane gate.

The second reason is that the free Vientiane gate has the intention to find a long lost dream for the cat demon. It also coincides with the warm spring day, and all the disciples are excited.

Chen Lu'an, Yun Yiqi and Yiquan have other things to do. They have left first and made an appointment to meet on the island where they transit at sea. Only Feng Huolun and Mu hurry are with them. Although they are elders, they are both old children's unrestrained temperament. They are free and unfettered. They have to go through multiple transmission arrays all the way to reach the southern Huayan divine domain.

The southern Chinese language realm is a distant and mysterious continent for everyone.

The southern Huayan divine realm was called the southern Huayan demon realm a long time ago. It mainly focuses on demon cultivation.

In the concept of ancient Taoism, there is no distinction between good and evil, but the paths and methods of cultivation are different.

The word "devil" itself evolved from the word "grinding", which means tempering. At the same time, it has the meaning that Xiuxian wants to cut off the heart devil.

Immortals have immortals and demons have demons and gods. Immortals and demons are of the same origin. For example, in the immortal system of daomen, demons are immortal gods who manage the netherworld. Their functions are different, and there is no distinction between good and evil.

The same was true in the early stage of the magic cultivation in Huayan Magic Kingdom, but later it changed.

In cultivating immortals, Taoism emphasizes the nature of Taoism, cultivates itself and reaches a detached level. The cultivation of demons emphasizes uninhibited, free and free. Some demons pursue freedom too much, are hoodwinked by demons, violate the orthodox cultivation methods, and embark on the road of killing and proving Taoism and achieving self-interest by harming others.

Because this method works quickly, more and more demons turn to this way, which eventually leads to the demonic cultivation in Huayan mainland gradually becoming an evil practice full of evil. It pursues and practices many barbaric and cruel cultivation rules that are not tolerated by the world. Under the publicity and exaggeration of the escaped orthodox monks and the people, the Huayan demon realm has changed its taste and become a purgatory on earth.

Later, one of the Buddhists on the central thick land came to Huayan devil kingdom in order to save all living beings in the devil Kingdom and cure evil. After thousands of years of fighting, Buddhists continued to come to the devil kingdom for reinforcements. Buddhists gradually gained a foothold in the devil Kingdom, spread their branches and leaves, and developed and expanded until they could compete with the devil.

At this stage, it is not appropriate to call it the devil's Kingdom, so the outside world has used the southern Chinese language God domain name to this day.

Today, the forces of demon cultivation and Buddha cultivation are intertwined and still fighting.

After hearing the disciples talking about Huayan divine realm, Feng Huolun and cat demon, who have been arguing about what since they came out, stopped.

Feng Huolun said: "there is not such a strict distinction. All kinds of monks are good and bad. There are also some flashy, sensationalist, swaggering, and even the scum of Buddhism in the Buddhist practice. There are also loyal, chivalrous and non murderous people in the demon practice. The specific situation should be analyzed in detail."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he drew everyone's attention to their argument.

Since Feng Huolun and the cat demon met a few years ago, the two have opened an endless debate mode.

One of them is well-informed and knowledgeable, the other is specialized in the fields of gods and souls. At first, no one is satisfied with anyone. They often fight over a problem. Later, they found that they all benefit from the debate. The fight is no longer fought, but the habit of debate has been followed.

As the relationship between the two becomes closer and closer, the debate becomes more and more intense, but the way has changed. The two often exchange roles, not to win or lose, but to argue more and more clearly. Many R & D achievements have been achieved in this benign debate.

Now listen, they are discussing which one is closer to the truth, research or Dharma.

After asking about going to the southern Chinese language God domain, this man, a demon, studied crazy goods, suddenly had a strong interest in Buddhism and Buddhism. He dived into the library of the Taoist palace and devoured Buddhist classics.

At the beginning, for a period of time before their departure, they focused on the superiority of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Of course, the result was inconclusive. The two finally reached an agreement as follows:

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the fundamental theories of settling down and living, each with its own strengths and realm.

For example, Confucianism's "respect", Taoism's "tranquility" and Buddhism's "purity" are the same supreme realm.

Like the Confucianists who have joined the WTO, respect is not only their attitude towards themselves, self-cultivation and self-improvement, but also their attitude towards others. They value education without discrimination in their attitude towards work and society. The so-called "respect for things and deacons", respect is meticulous, and will have the qualities of "filial piety, fraternity, affinity and benevolence", so as to benefit themselves and all sentient beings.

Taoism's tranquility, tranquility can preserve health, tranquility can connect God, tranquility can generate wisdom, and tranquility can be at ease. The so-called "people can always be quiet, and heaven and earth will return".

The so-called "mind soldiers do not move" -- there are contradictions in people's hearts at any time. There are rational and perceptual struggles and civil wars. Only quiet can mount tai collapse in front without changing its face. It is a big mind and great enlightenment. It is not silk, not bamboo, but self pleasure, not smoke, not tea, but fragrance.

Taoist cultivation selects people, pays attention to themselves and birth, and emphasizes that all sentient beings have their own ways.

Buddhists believe that everyone has Buddha nature.

Buddhist purity requires getting rid of emotions and desires and getting rid of troubles. Everyone knows some of the so-called great principles, but small emotions are often difficult to control. We must not rejoice in things, not feel sorry for ourselves, not worry about things, no fear, stay away from reversing dreams, and be just without desire.

Not to mention whether what they said is right and accurate, but they all think that the three have the same goal by different paths, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.

After leaving the mountain gate, the two debated along the way: whether the future of scientific development is Buddhism.

Yes, since Hua Lanting said the word "science" according to some of the contents he saw and remembered in that strange journey when he was listening to the debate, Feng Huolun and cat demon regarded themselves as scientists and thought that the word science was very consistent with their work of subject research.

After the arrival of the cat demon, he first learned Taoist knowledge and recently studied Buddhist knowledge. He brainwashed himself very thoroughly and has become a Buddhist supporter. He was the first to express his views and said:

"First of all, look. I'm not belittling my research. Science is definitely a good thing, but science also has limitations. We can't classify what we don't understand as superstition and ignorance and say it's pseudoscience."

"Science is not omnipotent. Traditional cultural theories have their own advantages, and science cannot replace them."

"What is science? In my opinion, science is a systematic research on the structure and behavior of the natural world and the material world through observation and experiment. It is an intellectual and practical activity based on brain power."

"Buddhism is just like this - science through systematic research, experiment and observation of the universe and everything in the world."

"The Buddha has long told us that time and space are relative. There is no creator. There are 84000 lives in a drop of water, and so on."

"Unlike science, Buddhism is not interested in emphasizing external things."

"Mature science has two pillars. One is experiment, that is, discovering truth through scientific experiment, and the second is logical reasoning, that is, using logical reasoning to get truth."

"To discover the truth through experiments requires that the experiments be perfectly planned and repeatable. No matter who uses the same methods, steps and conditions, they should get exactly the same results."

"The role of experiment is obvious, but the limitation is to exclude all things related to subjective consciousness and only study objective things and objective laws. This was no problem in the early stage, but in fact, subjective and objective are inseparable."

"Science can make measurable, measurable, countable and visible analysis of most things, but the most powerful and uncertain things can not be explained by science, such as human mind and human nature, such as the endless and vast universe, and Taoism and Buddhism have explored this mystery for a long time."

"Secondly, the logical reasoning of science itself depends on the human brain. Although the brain capacity and neural connection between man and demon are larger and more than that of other animals, we can invent tools and think problems, the human brain has limitations. Taoist meditation and Buddhist meditation are helpful to improve the thinking ability and wisdom of the human brain, which has been proved by experiments."

"The problem is that science can only rely on repeated training and practice to make people smarter, and Buddhist and Taoist meditation has a long-term systematic method, which is more clever and effective."

"Experiments show that after entering the state of deep meditation and meditation, the brain can enter a state of high order and minimum resistance, the idea runs smoothly, the stream of consciousness is extremely strong, and can perceive the subtle world that ordinary people can't get“

"We ordinary people can understand the three-dimensional world, but we can't imagine the four-dimensional, five-dimensional and even higher-dimensional world. We can't tell the truth, but Buddha and Bodhisattva can."

"In fact, I doubt that Buddhist classics were written and translated thousands of years ago. If they are written by Buddhist disciples now, they can analyze and enlighten us with scientific language and data."

"For example, teacher Feng Huolun and I are studying and approaching a core concept of Buddhism, that is, alaiye knowledge."

The cat demon will continue to talk. Yi LiuNian covers his head and cries, "what knowledge? You always wait a minute. I'm a little confused. I want to be quiet."

The cat demon was immersed in the endless realm. After being interrupted, he asked, "who is quiet? Aha, you really deserve to be a disciple of the Taoist school. The Taoist school wants to be quiet and quiet."
