Taking this opportunity, I asked Taoist Master Jue Xing, what should I do now? Am I considered a practitioner and am I a practitioner?
"You are just a beginner now, and your body can just sense the Tao power around you, so you are the lowest level practitioner. However, you have completely inherited the black tassel spear technique. You can try to integrate the Tao power into the spear technique, so that you can use martial arts
Entering the Tao can be regarded as a kind of body training. However, although body training is a shortcut in the beginning, it becomes very difficult in the later stage. You can also follow the method to practice, but you have not entered my mountain gate. I can't teach you anything. You can ask Kui
.”
"Is there a level in spiritual practice? Last time I asked Kui, he said that demons are classified according to the limbs in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. What about us humans? Also based on the number of limbs? Or is there some kind of foundation building, golden elixir, or something that can ascend?
of."
"Of course not, you have read too many novels, right? If that counts as three flowers on the head and five qi in the chest in Fengshenyan, it is also a state? And the Moral God, one qi transforming into three liquidations, does not count as a state? You should read less.
Terrible stuff. In fact, what is really recorded is practicing Qi elixir formation first, which is the goal of inner alchemy. After the elixir formation, you will have what you call the golden elixir cultivation level, and you will have a life span of three yuan."
"What is three yuan of life?"
"Three Yuan means sixty years of Tian Yuan, sixty years of Earth Yuan, and sixty years of Human Yuan. The total life span is one hundred and eight years. Such a person can basically be called a Heavenly Master."
"That won't take long."
"This has been a long time coming. According to scientific research, human lifespan is limited by the number of cell divisions, and human cell division is fixed, so the longest one can live is about 130 years old."
"...You are still a Taoist priest who talks about science??"
"Hey, the longevity of Tianyuan can be obtained by those who do not consume their energy. The longevity of Earthly Yuan can be obtained by those who have a regular daily life. The lifespan of Human Yuan can be obtained by those who have moderate diet. In fact, this is the most basic thing. I just tell you to learn how to do it.
Only by controlling desires and being relaxed can you prolong your life, and only by prolonging your life can you earn your life with heaven."
"Strive for life with the sky? How do you say this? And I would like to ask, how long have you lived?"
"I know it's presumptuous to ask, but it's rude to ask someone's age. But I vaguely remember the last time I played chess with Fan Zhongyan. I said he had a lot of wisdom, so why bother with chores? He said he was restless. I don't think he really has any destiny.
, why force it?”
"What? Fan Zhongyan is from the Song Dynasty, at least more than 1,000 years ago. You are more than a thousand years old?! Aren't you three years old?!"
Jue Xing, an old Taoist god, looked at me naggingly, pointed at Kui next to him and said, "How old do you think he is? How old is your civet cat? After the third yuan, you still need Yuanying, and you still need to ascend, right? Hahahaha."
"
"You're kidding me, aren't you? Those things you just said were false, and now you're telling me about ascension?"
"There is no end to cultivation. I said those are false because there is no level-by-level as written in the book. Just go up and gain experience. In fact, the improvement of the realm depends on the improvement of the state of mind.
Even if you have force, you are nothing more than a reckless man. After understanding your true heart, cultivation is something that goes against nature. I asked you to use force to achieve enlightenment because I am worried that it will be difficult for you to enlighten your nature and you can only rely on force to force yourself.
Cut off your own negative emotions. Buddhism says that the three Buddhas divide the past, present and future. Someone in America also proposed self, id and superego. In fact, the meaning is the same, it just depends on how you understand and how to deal with it.
Enlightenment."
"Do you still know about Freud's theory?"
"Of course, when we understand the Tao, many times other people's words can lead us to enlightenment."
"Then why are there levels?"
"That is a goal for those who are not determined. If you practice a little longer and persist a little longer, you will reach the next level. In fact, there is no next level. When this level ends, there will be the next one, and the next one and the next one?
Never-ending.”
"Doesn't that mean you don't know your own cultivation status?"
"Why do you need to know your cultivation status? When it comes, it will come naturally, when it comes, it will come, and when it comes, it will die naturally."
I feel like I can’t get anything useful out of this veteran’s mouth. He is a person who has reached a certain level, and what he said is too profound. The only thing that surprised me is that they also study Western knowledge. In my impression, these
People are aloof from the world, but now it seems that they are not out of touch with society.
"Well, I'll tell Lao Cao later and let him talk to you about some simple things. He is my descendant. I don't remember which generation he is from, but you have just started practicing, haven't you? He should be able to give you some guidance.
.However, he is too worldly-minded, and it will be difficult for him to make progress in the future."
"Okay, okay...", he said okay. In fact, I knew very well that he must have been too lazy to teach me anything. But for an old man who is more than a thousand years old, it is enough to establish a good relationship. He is too slippery.
After taking one last look at the tomatoes in the circle, I climbed onto the ground.
This hotel cannot be opened for the time being. Anyone who comes in and sees the magic circle will feel evil. Tamamo-mae and Arima Laomao are just about to go out to play. In their words, there are a few old friends here and they have time to go.
I paid a visit. Before I left, Tamamo-mae gave me a fox fur and told me to burn it or break it if there was an emergency, and he would know. The old Arima cat also called a bunch of wild cats with peace of mind, really
They were a bunch of wild cats. I have never seen so many cats in Maple Leaf Country. After arranging tasks for the cats, the two of them left, then turned around and called Xiaosha.
Then Kui, Taoist Master Jue Xing, and Peter also left. Of course, they were relatively normal and left their phone numbers. I looked at the deserted road and prepared to go home. Who knew that Masako came over and said that he had not been there recently?
It's suitable to live here. I want to stay with me. This little girl is quite cute, but it's a pity that she's not my type. And looking at the mustache around her mouth, I feel like I'm not even good enough for her, so I'm polite.
Agreed. It’s okay for her to come anyway. There is a student from Sakura Country, so I can ask her to help me make arrangements.
When I got home, I looked at the three documents in front of me and saw that there was no one to discuss with. Then I found out the list of visa documents and sent it to Kui. All other things could only wait.
After making arrangements for Masako in the evening, I lay on the bed and turned on the computer to watch videos in preparation for bed. Today I specially found a video of Freud talking about the three selves. I thought carefully about what the Taoist said, and then started to read the information about the three Buddhas.
.
I roughly understand why Taoist Master Jue Xing talked about the comparison between the three Buddhas and the three selves. The three Buddhas are the past Buddha Lantern, the present Buddha Sakyamuni and the future Buddha Maitreya. Generally speaking, in fact, the three Buddhas do not refer to one person, but to the future Buddha Maitreya.
The leader of Buddhas in the past, present and future. There is more than one Buddha. Everyone has Buddha-nature. As long as he can help himself and help others, he has the possibility of becoming a Buddha. Lantern Buddha appears in many Buddhist scriptures and is a famous past figure.
Buddha, and was the teacher of Sakyamuni Buddha a long time ago. Because he is very famous, many Taoist temples use this famous past Buddha as a representative when defining "Buddha of the Three Generations". Theoretically speaking, he represents
It is a projection of Sakyamuni's past. Maitreya Buddha comes in the future, after the Age of Ending Dharma, to save the world and save all sentient beings. What he will do in the future is the same as what Sakyamuni is doing now. In theory,
It is the projection of Buddha in the future. In fact, the three of them can be regarded as three periods of one person.
What about the id, ego and superego? The id is composed of all innate instinctive impulses and is the root of all desires. The self is the perception formed through the influence of the external world and is a part of the id. The superego is the ultimate
The moralized self is the most civilized personality, and can be understood as the egotization of a saint. Here, the id and the superego exist in opposition, basically two extremes, and the self coordinates in the middle.
There is a short story on the Internet. A person saw a beautiful girl. The id said to possess her, the superego said never, and the ego said don't worry, take your time. From this story, we can see that the three selves represent
When I was growing up, I relied on instinct to meet my needs. I was educated by parents, teachers and society to have moral standards, and then I am an ordinary person who properly balances my own morality and desires. This is very similar to what Taoist Master Jue Xing said about cutting off his negative thoughts.
Emotions, and then control your desires to reach a higher state.
Id, past, superego, future, self, present. I made mistakes and regrets in the past. Now I absorb the lessons of the past, and I will be better in the future. The old Taoist is a true artist of chicken soup for the soul.
What was I like in the past? Tomato had a past life, so I should have one too. What will I do in the future? Now that I am involved in the complicated things of various races, I should no longer be an ordinary person.
Now that the past has passed, we should let go of the past. The present is already changing, so we must adapt to the present. As for the future, if we do well now, the future will not be too bad, and we will strive for the future. Life and death are just a fight, can it be worse than now?
?
I suddenly felt pure in my heart. I saw my past me waving to me, and I saw my future me waving to me first. I also stretched out my hand and waved to them.
Suddenly, when the three of us were waving to each other, I suddenly felt two things split from my body. They were two gray shadows, overlapping and walking out of my body. Now it looks like
It's like I have two extra shadows, and the colors of the two shadows are different.
"Little guy, are you lucky, or are you smart?" A voice suddenly came from the side, which startled me.
Turning around, I saw an old man looking at me kindly. He was short, with yellow skin, big ears, a broad forehead, high cheekbones, a big mouth, a black and smooth beard, and two eyes that shone brightly, like those at night.
They are as bright as the stars. Especially his pair of eyebrows, which are not only symmetrical, clean, but also neat and beautiful. Most people say that the eyebrows are colorful, but today I have seen what is called colorful. That is, his eyebrows can reflect light, from the root of the eyebrow to the middle of the eyebrow.
Up to the tip of his eyebrows, the reflected colors at each position are different. From a distance, it seems as if his face is covered with a layer of light, and even his face cannot be seen very clearly.
