Chapter 125 Knowing the meaning of good fortune and pulling it into a hairpin
Heart, liver, kidney, which one should be taken care of first?
There is no question of which one to take care of first.
Here in the spleen, they are all children and receive equal care.
There may be partial parents in the world, but as far as creation is concerned, there is no such thing as partiality.
If we insist on saying that it is partial, then creation is indeed partial, favoring all the creations under creation!
Among the Wuzang Apertures, Ye Xiaoye opened the Lung Heart Aperture first. The reason is that the lungs directly exchange energy with the outside world, and the body that came out of the Immortal Sea of Absolute Spirits is continuously absorbing trace amounts of spiritual energy day and night.
Where to draw it from?
It is taken from the lungs through breathing.
Or the entire body can be absorbed, but the lungs are undoubtedly the most important channel.
Therefore, in the practice of Wuzang Aperture, the first thing Ye Xiaoye opens is the Lung Heart Aperture.
Not by one's own will, but by nature.
If he was not from the Immortal Sea of Unparalleled Spirits, then other apertures might be opened first, including the heart, liver, and kidneys.
The only unlikely thing is the spleen.
It is true that nature is not biased, but the spleen is biased.
As a parent, it favors its four children. If it really does what it wants, it will probably have to wait until all four children are taken care of before it can take its turn to take care of itself.
Standing at a higher altitude, Xu Guangling also became biased.
Prefer to take care of it first.
This higher height is actually not too high. At least, it does not go beyond creation, but still adheres to the meaning of creation.
This is the complexity of cultivation.
Sometimes, you need to "let nature take its course".
This is why the first of the five Tibet apertures to open is the Lung Heart aperture.
At that time, it was possible which aperture was opened first, of course, the most likely one was the Lung Heart Aperture, but Xu Guangling was not 100% sure.
Sometimes, it is necessary to "submit to nature".
At this time, we cannot continue to let nature take its course. If we still let nature take its course, then the second orifice should be opened, most likely one of the heart or kidney.
But Xu Guangling's will went beyond them and targeted the spleen and heart aperture.
Living things start from birth, decay step by step, and then move towards death.
This is called "let nature take its course".
Creatures, adhering to the consciousness and abilities given by nature, in the process of growth, in the process of decay that should be, sublimate their own consciousness, increase their abilities, and then use various methods, step by step
Slow down or even reverse the process of decay.
This is called "submitting to nature".
Whether you let nature take its course or let nature take its course, these are all normal interpretations under the Great Dao.
From this perspective, the so-called human civilization, the so-called history of human civilization, is a history of "letting nature take its course" at certain times, and "allowing nature to take its course" at other times.
If you always "let nature take its course", it will be what it was in the beginning and what it will be in the end.
The whole human race is like this.
The same is true for an individual person.
As a living being, a person or a human being, the ultimate goal is to have "creation" replace or dominate "nature".
Even after three lifetimes, Xu Guangling had not fully understood this truth before.
He has had such a concept for a long time, but it is only a general concept. The core and various details are very imperfect, and overall it is like seeing flowers in the fog.
But over the course of more than a year, during the practice of Wu Zang Qiao, he understood this truth.
Completely understood.
All of a sudden, from the inside out, I felt completely enlightened.
This is also one of the mysteries or pleasures of spiritual practice. Many times, what you cultivate is obviously the "body", but what you get greater benefits from is the "consciousness".
All kinds of consciousness often appear out of nowhere, or appear out of nowhere and appear in front of you.
Of course, at its root, it does not come out of nothing, but is created through the "body" and through the changes of the body, it naturally condenses into consciousness.
Therefore, since the first life, the basic concept of "body and mind" has been established in the practice system established by Xu Guangling.
The body never leaves the mind, and the mind never leaves the body.
The body can turn around and the mind can turn around.
The two are intertwined with each other, rotate with each other, depend on each other, and evolve into each other.
Without the mind, the body does not become a body, it is just a piece of dead matter that is no different from a piece of earth or stone.
Without the body, the mind does not become the mind. It is also just a dead thing carrying certain fixed information.
Once separated, both die.
The so-called life, the so-called living being, is the aggregation of body and mind.
This is also a yin and yang.
The body is Yin, the beginning, and the carrier.
The heart is Yang, development and promotion.
Plants and trees are both living beings, but their inferiority to humans lies in their physical and mental differences.
The complexity or height of its body is not as good as that of humans, so the level of "heart" it can carry is not as good as humans.
But if it is driven by its spiritual consciousness, it can develop its body step by step, and then its body will in turn nourish its consciousness step by step, and this two-way cyclical development...
Ultimately, the ancient Chinese legend of plants and trees becoming spirits is not a myth.
"Flower fairies" and "flower demons" are not just fantasies.
However, that evolution process must be very long.
Even in this world, which is rich in spiritual energy and where spiritual civilization is quite popular, Xu Guangling has not heard such similar statements so far.
Or maybe he doesn’t know the true face of Lushan?
That existence in the Immortal Sea of Absolute Spirits...
However, if that being is really a spirit transformed from plants and trees, it would be far different from the image of "Flower Fairy" and "Flower Demon" in his impression.
It's so big that it's impossible to connect the two through instinct.
According to Xu Guangling's current understanding, there are flower fairies and flower demons like those in ancient Chinese legends.
The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe.
In the vast universe, or the endless time and space, Xu Guangling is inclined to believe that there is such a world there.
The flower fairy dances gracefully.
The flower demon is like a mountain ghost, "if there is a person who comes to the mountains and is picked up by prickly pear blossoms and is carrying a girl's radish. He looks at her and laughs, and admires her, she is so graceful and graceful." She eats clear dew, sips the flowing clouds, and lives in the mountains.
And if there is a spiritual civilization in that world, it doesn’t have to be human.
Many of these creatures must have been in the "Condensing Yuan Realm", "True One Realm", or even directly become Earthly Immortals or Heavenly Immortals as soon as they were born.
It's a pity that Xiaotian is not around now.
Otherwise, I really want to ask it if there really is such a world.
If it doesn't know, it's time for it to laugh.
I feel sad when I recall the past.
During this year of retreat, I had a lot of free time.
Ye Xiaoye practices once a day, takes a bath once a day, eats three times a day, walks in the courtyard two or three times a day, recites the Purification Sutra about once a day, and takes a long nap in the afternoon once a day.
But other than that, it's Xu Guangling's time.
Deduction practice.
Feel the good fortune.
Then, thoughts, like seeds, slowly sprout in my heart.
It is said that the Supreme Master forgets his love. Xu Guangling is currently only a Grand Master, and may not be the Supreme Master yet. Or maybe even if he becomes the Supreme Master, he still cannot forget his love.
I can never forget the relatives, friends, and old friends along the way from the time I was born until now.
In his first life, Xu Guangling could also compose music.
But in this life, I just miss you.
That longing is neither a song nor a tune, it is just like the grass in the courtyard, growing silently in the cracks of the bluestone.
There are some days that are too busy, such as it happens to rain.
Xu Guangling would sometimes indulge them.
Let them grow freely like the grass in the yard.
Neither uproot it nor cultivate it.
Just looked at it leisurely.
It can also be regarded as a process of listening to the wind, listening to the rain, observing the clouds and the moon, which is a good adjustment.
But there aren't many times like that.
Overall, it can only be called "occasionally".
Most of the time, Xu Guangling still practiced meditation.
He is just a broken grandmaster, not even a "god", so what qualifications do he have to dwell on the past without thinking about moving forward.
Right?
Just like delicious food.
All kinds of "food" are good.
But in daily life, it is best to eat steamed buns with soy milk, steamed buns with bean curd, millet porridge and pickles, white fungus and lotus seed soup, small pot of rice noodles, mixed pea noodles, pimple soup and spicy soup...
At noon and evening, there will be some other main meals.
