There were three words written on the top of the blackboard, "Purification Sutra", and looking at the content below, Xu Guangling couldn't help but smile.
This should be one of the introductory classics of the Lingxiao Sect, similar to the children's books in ancient China on earth, such as "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and so on.
If the level of introductory classics is low, it does not mean that the level of this sect is low.
Because it may be a lenient approach and a strict exit, and only by cultivating one level at a time, or through various selections over and over again, can one step by step come into contact with the core heritage of this sect. This is very possible.
But if the level of the introductory classics is quite good, then the level of this sect will most likely be quite good as well.
Judging from the current "Purification Sutra", Xu Guangling feels that he should have entered a large sect.
There are not many words in the Purity Sutra, the whole text is only over 300 words, but it is concise and concise.
This is also inevitable. The simpler the words, the easier it is to recite.
As far as "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" in ancient China are concerned, the level and popularity of the two will not be mentioned for the moment, but the people who can recite "Laozi" must far exceed the people who can recite "Zhuangzi".
no way.
"Laozi" contains only a few thousand words.
How many words does "Zhuangzi" have?
Tens of thousands of words!
It’s not that the contents of tens of thousands of words cannot be recited, but it obviously goes beyond the scope of “reciting classics”.
In fact, "Laozi" is already very long, but it is divided into many chapters, each of which is no more than a hundred words. If it is divided into chapters and recited, it is still acceptable.
Only if you are short can you memorize it in your mind, and then just like pinning it to the top of a forum post, keep it at the most active place in your consciousness, and then recite it silently day and night, and be infiltrated by it every day. This is called an "introductory classic".
The Purity Sutra on the blackboard at this time meets this condition.
First, it is short in length.
Second, the content is comprehensive, fully covers and meets the purpose of "purity".
It is most appropriate as an introductory tool for adjusting one's mind.
More than a hundred children in the courtyard were all nervously reciting the words on the blackboard silently. Some kept muttering softly, some had their mouths tightly closed and their brows furrowed, and some put their hands on the ground.
His upper body was bent forward and his eyes were wide open.
And so on, there are many different forms.
Xu Guangling sat quietly among them, looking straight at the blackboard in front of him, his mind in a state of concentration.
The entire physical and mental consciousness has entered a process of unity between nature and man called "purity".
In his consciousness, all the content related to "purity" in the first life, the second life, and this third life are all gathered at this moment, and then sprinkled as seeds.
The so-called unity of nature and man.
"I" is soil and seeds.
"Tian" means sunshine and rain.
It is not something like tangible vitality or spiritual energy, but something invisible but really exists. When Xu Guangling went deep into the calm state, like rain or mist, it hit the "thing" he took out.
seeds” for infiltration.
And if you go one step further, it will not only infiltrate the mind and consciousness, but also the entire body and mind.
That is not the birth of consciousness.
Rather, it is like an enlightenment, and it can also be named "Instant Achievement".
If Xu Guangling really does this, then, between heaven and earth, the endless Yuanling Qi will gather here with his body as the center, and Ye Xiaoye's body will also go straight up along the cultivation system.
Straight up, straight up...
Of course Xu Guangling would not do this.
Therefore, the degree of unity between nature and man is limited to the level only used for the gestation of consciousness.
In the first life of the earth, if there was any tree that best fit the concept of "immortal tree" in ancient Chinese legends, it was undoubtedly the Chinese mulberry tree.
The lifespan of ancient mulberry trees can be very long. If the environment is suitable and they are not harmed, it is not difficult to live for thousands of years.
This is one of them.
The second one is its leaves and fruit (mulberries). The fruit is "Ying" and the leaves are "Qing". When used together, the two can completely penetrate a practitioner's practice process, so it is named "Practice Tree".
Nothing too much.
In the first life, when he was in the Hengduan Mountains, Xu Guangling planted it at first just because its leaves were a traditional Chinese medicine and its fruits could be used by two old men to make wine.
So among the many plants and trees planted, mulberry trees are one of them.
But it is just one of the idle ones.
It doesn't have any special status.
Its special feature was only discovered by Xu Guangling after he specially cultivated a mulberry tree in an eye of the Juyuan Juling Array in the Dream City for the convenience of the two old people. Only then did he realize that it was like that
of extraordinary.
However, the life span of mulberry seeds cultivated in the secular world is only a few decades.
Why?
Because the "body" is discarded and the "use" is adopted.
Mulberry trees are cultivated in the secular world for the purpose of raising silkworms, so the smaller and shorter the tree, the better, and the more and luxuriant the mulberry leaves are, the better. It is best to pluck them as they grow, and they can be picked repeatedly throughout the year.
.
This phenomenon, or the principles behind it, can be completely applied to spiritual practice.
The fundamental purpose of spiritual practice is just two words, "upward".
Let’s not mention the content of consciousness and mind, but just mention “body”. If the body wants to move up, it is actually very simple, just two words, “increase revenue” and “throttle expenditure”.
Both increasing revenue and reducing expenditure are important.
But which one is more important?
Different stages have different importance.
After reaching a certain level and level, open source is the most important and the fundamental direction of practice.
But at the beginning, you must emphasize saving money.
Any introductory guidance that does not emphasize "saving money" must be a heresy, a heresy, and will definitely lead practitioners astray. In the end, nothing will be gained.
This point is also the key point in determining whether the introductory scriptures are high or low.
At the beginning of practice, the key is to control expenditure.
The key to reducing expenditure is to be pure in mind and have few desires.
Therefore, in normal practice, cultivation usually starts with children.
Because after adulthood, the desires of men and women arise, and the desires of men and women are actually the greatest desires, whether it is physical or mental, they are completely contrary to "saving money".
Either a baby or an old man.
However, the old man has become "water cold and metal cold".
So it's better to be a doll.
Even if the baby is very small, it will be too young to be picked. It must pass the first cycle of the great cycle of life. On the earth, there are eight boys and seven girls. In the previous life, there were eleven boys and nine girls. But in this life, there are eight boys and seven girls.
Six men and eight women.
So right now, there are more than a hundred children sitting in the small courtyard, the youngest boy is six years old, and the youngest girl is eight years old.
They are basically old enough to practice.
It was said to be half a day, but in fact it was almost a whole day, from morning to evening.
At noon, the senior brother interrupted everyone and drove everyone to eat.
There was a wailing downstairs, and some children were about to cry.
There are indeed not many words in this Purity Sutra, but the expression is by no means simple and concise, especially for children. It is not easy to recite, and often forget this sentence after memorizing it. Many children still have this problem.
I didn’t memorize it well!
Fortunately, the senior sister said again that you can come back after dinner and continue memorizing!
In the evening, the senior sister reached out and erased all the words on the blackboard. This time, there was no wailing underneath, but many children frowned and kept reciting it in their own way, fearing they would forget.
At night, Fengzong Ye Qing's dormitory.
Everyone was already lying on the bed.
In the darkness, the boss Feng Haoran suddenly said: "How about each of us memorize the Purity Sutra?"
Before anyone else could respond, he had already memorized it.
Others listened silently.
He didn't remember it very well, but fortunately, he finally memorized the entire article intermittently without any mistakes or omissions.
After he finished reciting it, Zongping, the second oldest, opened his mouth to take over.
I remember that the second child is more familiar than the eldest child. There are only two or three small interruptions in the middle, and it can almost be said to be smooth.
"Leaves!" After a few breaths, the eldest brother Feng Haoran said without seeing the third child saying a word.
"Fourth brother, you come first." Ye Xiaoye said.
"Okay third brother!"
The fourth child, Qing Qing, was the most proficient in memorizing arcs and could even be said to be very familiar with it.
"Third brother, do you want to carry it?" After finishing carrying it, the fourth child asked.
"Um."
Slow, calm, and seemingly normal but actually with an inexplicable rhythm, the sound of reciting sounded in the room.
If there are cultivators who have opened their heavenly eyes here, they will find that along with the sound of reciting, the life auras on the bodies of the four children in the room are constantly vibrating. Although the vibration is slight, it is extremely
frequently.
Ye Xiaoye recited it once, then the second time, and after the second time, it was the third time.
After three times, the room fell into silence.
No matter the eldest, second or fourth child, they all fell into a deep sleep.
