Hua Lanting and Lin Xianjing live in the same room. Tonight, both of them are a little restless and sleepless for no reason, so they get up in their clothes, go to the terrace outside the house, make a pot of wine and sit down to enjoy the snow.

It's dark outside and the snow is flying. Lin Xianjing said, "the weather here is strange. I wanted to make a divination to predict the good and bad luck of this trip, but the divination is messy and difficult to form. This rarely happens." Hua Lanting said, "yes, I can't settle down. It's really strange here."

Just when they were silent and looked at the sky, the door next to them rang, and Yi LiuNian and Zhuge Yun also came out. "If you want snow later, can you drink a cup of nothing?" Yi LiuNian shouted, "it's not interesting for you to be so elegant, but you don't call us."

Lin Xian Jing replied, "the lonely mountains and drinking alone on a snowy night are so artistic that you don't have to ruin the scenery. It's just casting pearls before swine."

Yi LiuNian's face turned black: "cow, please play the piano? It's so ugly. The cow didn't say anything. People who play the piano against the cow are sick."

"Ha ha!" Hua Lanting said with a smile, "ZHUGE, do you think it's more painful for cattle or people to play the piano to cattle?"

Zhuge Yun said expressionless, "Qin is the most painful."

"I'm the most miserable!" the voice of Mu hurry rang out behind them. When the four looked back, Mu hurry and Yiyun led the four women of Feng Qingjun to come.

Mu hurriedly continued to reprimand: "it's you boys who don't sleep in the middle of the night. Your voice is still so loud. Don't you know that Taoism pays most attention to health preservation? Haven't you heard that a disciple surnamed Zhao of a sect recently stayed up late to drink and died suddenly? How did I teach you these useless things?"

Yi LiuNian licked his face and said, "manager mu, I don't allow you to say that about yourself. What you teach is useful? When it comes to staying up late, I sincerely advise you not to be surnamed Zhao in order not to die suddenly!"

Mu hurriedly smiled after listening: "smelly boy, don't talk nonsense. It's useful for you. Go and call some plates of beef and pour me a glass of wine. Tonight will be the night dinner before experience."

Yi LiuNian hit the snake with the stick: "Mu Lao, I think you should add the word please. It seems polite."

Mu hurriedly kicked falsely: "be polite to you. Please bring me the beef and old wine quickly. Is that ok?"

"Well, OK, it's my treat. As long as you check out, it's all right." Yi LiuNian went down to order.

The crowd then took their seats. After the wine and dishes were ready, the men pushed cups and changed lamps. The woman drank and whispered. Hua Lanting suddenly asked, "you just talked about health preservation, but we are restless here. It is difficult to cultivate ourselves and sleep. How should we raise this life?"

Mu hurriedly thought about it and replied, "your question is a little big. I'll try to answer part of it first."

"First of all, there are no more than three situations: one is immersed in the troubles of the past, the other is trapped in the delusion of the future, and the third is that external forces affect your mood“

” In either case, in fact, you are competing with yourself and in an uncomfortable state. Your spirit consciousness is not in harmony with your life body at the present moment, or on the one hand, your heart feels that you should fall asleep and expect to fall asleep, but on the other hand, your body is affected by the complex thoughts in reality and cannot enter the state of sleep at this moment. To put it bluntly It's all your own trouble. "

"No one in the world can hurt you. It's yourself who really stabs you."

"Of course, this is because you haven't practiced to be free, and I don't. freedom is the ultimate goal pursued by our practitioners. Maybe there is a higher goal on this, which is not what you and I can imagine at this stage."

"But in terms of health preservation, there is a simple state that ordinary people should have experienced, that is, they are about to fall asleep but they are not asleep. It seems that they have entered a dream, but you can hear the people next to them“

”This is a critical point. If you hold the state of that critical point, you can communicate with heaven and earth, absorb energy and accumulate strength from all things in the world, and then release it with some methods and skills, which will be manifested in the functions of skill, magic and martial arts. "

"The world is composed of different life forms, information exchange methods, a variety of materials and energy, resulting in different cultivation methods and factions."

Yi LiuNian added: "sometimes when I meditate or stand at a stake, I will enter a state of sitting rather than sitting, standing rather than standing, waking rather than waking, empty rather than empty, urine rather than urine, but I will soon get out."

Mu hurriedly said with a smile: "the words are rough and the reason is not rough. The longer you keep the state, the deeper your skills and the stronger your control over your spirit and body."

Hua Lanting asked, "the Taoist family believes in eternal life, attaches importance to the flesh and seeks freedom; the Buddhist family believes in reincarnation, attaches importance to ideas and seeks liberation. So which is more important, the spirit and the body?"

Mu hurriedly replied: "That's the same sentence. It's like a blind man touching an elephant. No matter Taoists, Buddhists or demons, demons, ghosts, spirituals, etc., we just have different population forms, different positions, different entry points and practice paths. Maybe there are differences between high and low, order, good and evil, good and evil, forming a competing relationship, but we all want to pursue in essence Some form of immortality. "

Yi LiuNian asked confusedly, "doesn't it mean that good and evil don't coexist? Don't we come here to destroy the people of the evil way?"

Mu hurriedly nodded and shook his head: "I can't give you the correct answer. What I know is that the world is diverse, our plane is only a drop in the ocean, there are many forms of life in the universe that can't be measured, and the colored life of man is very few“

” From the perspective of the origin of the universe, the great history, the great era and the great pattern, everything is a continuous cycle in the bad air; from the perspective of individuals and human beings, the so-called inhumane heaven and earth takes everything as a ruminant dog. We are very sad, pitiful and small, and will always be affected by unknown laws and high-level life forms through ideas, emotions, desires and so-called accidental events Manipulation and coercion. But from the perspective of practitioners, we are lucky, because the only way to control our destiny is to practice. Not all lives have such opportunities. "

"There is a saying in Taoism that there is no need for sages. It holds that from different time and space and levels, right and wrong, good and evil, good and evil are relative, and good and bad are relative values at a certain level“

”As the saying goes, there is no near fame for good and no near punishment for evil. The source supervisor thinks the Scripture. That is to say, follow the middle way and take the basic value judgment as the criterion. Everything is not excessive and out of line“

”Therefore, wine, lust, wealth and Qi can preserve health in moderation; greed, anger, ignorance and slowness are Bodhi. "

”But there is a section, if a good thing is done too hard and a bad thing is done too absolutely, it will be very dangerous and punished. "

"According to the Taoist sect of our school, the right way is to inspire people's good thoughts and rationality and let people practice voluntarily, freely and without conditions, while the evil way is to lead people into the Tao by stimulating greed and temptation and coercion“

”The two ideas are different and opposite. The Tao is different and do not plan against each other. The prevalence of evil will certainly reduce the living space of the right way, so fighting is inevitable. "

"If you think that heaven is ruthless and survival of the fittest is the norm, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. It's normal for all schools to coexist and fight with each other. In that case, if you choose any path to preach Taoism under the condition of limited resources, it will form contradictions and conflicts with other aspects, especially the opposite ones“

”If you don't think it's normal, whether you want to be a dominant and self respecting family or as long as you seek common ground while reserving differences, there are always others who don't think so in the reality of biodiversity, so you still can't avoid fighting. "

"As for which is more important, spirit or body, it's just different emphasis“

”Heaven represents all intangible things, and earth represents all tangible things. Under the karma of running in, collision, communication and time and space, under the state of harmony between heaven and earth, temporarily entrust you with this physical image through temporary docking, which is not something you can have forever. "

”The emotional memory represented by the spirit and the relationship between us and all sentient and ruthless beings in the world can be continuously retained in different ways as an information carrier. From this point of view, the body is just a smelly skin bag, and Buddhism and Taoism attach importance to cultivating the spirit. "

"But from the Taoist point of view, if you can't control the body you have in this life, and you can't control the substantive, material and hard things, how can you control the soft, spiritual and non-material things“

”Therefore, Taoists believe that their body is a small miniature cosmic system ecology, so they emphasize the dual cultivation of life and the formation of Tao in the flesh. The flesh is the medium, process and means for us to enter the Tao“

”Therefore, Taoism does not pay less attention to spiritual cultivation. Our practice not only needs to cultivate the body through practice, but also includes increasing wisdom and vision through continuous experience“

” When you can stand in different angles, different time and space, see various possibilities, and establish a multi-dimensional perspective angle of front, back, left, right, up, down, inside and out, short, long, far and near, you can no longer tangle, be more comfortable, know that the world should not be, all deserve it, and treat the impermanence and helplessness of the world with an impermanent and natural state of mind. The gentleman is a gentleman and should be small People are villains. If they are smart, they are smart, and if they are stupid, they are stupid“

”There are rules in the game, but there are always loopholes in the game. If you have experienced thoroughly and naturally, everything is dispensable, can only be done, and can not be done without. This is the so-called "all leaks are bitter, all actions are impermanent, and all dharmas have no self."

Yi LiuNian said, "isn't that what you should pretend to be stupid when you should, and pretend to be forced when you should?"

Mu hurriedly looked at him and replied, "come on, as long as you keep trying to install, there's nothing you can't screw up."

Yi LiuNian stuck out his tongue and said, "I'm not interactive to activate the atmosphere. Besides, am I wrong?"

While talking, he looked around and asked Zhuge Yun, "ZHUGE, how can you keep calm and silent at any time?"

Zhuge Yun said coldly, "because I never argue with brain disabled people, I usually stop talking and say to him: Well, you're right."

"But you're completely escaping? It's unreasonable. You can't handle it well." Yi LiuNian argued.

"Well, you're right," Hua Lanting, Lin Xianjing and Zhuge Yun said in one voice.

After the crowd laughed, they digested the hurried words for a while. Feng Qingjun asked, "I've learned a little about practice and experience. These will consume our internal and external energy, including spirit and body. Just now, LAN Ting asked how to maintain health and how to do it? Can we supplement and gain the loss?"

Mu hurriedly said with a smile: "I don't avoid meat and vegetables. About health preservation, or do you have a more say in shigu Yiyun."

Yiyun glanced at him and said, "I think you're afraid of delaying drinking. OK, I'll tell the children my experience."
