The three fundamental apertures are the life aperture, the consciousness aperture, and the heaven and earth aperture. Xu Guangling has already completed the life aperture, and what he has to face next is the consciousness aperture.
That's new territory, but not entirely new.
Through the condensation of his life orifice, Xu Guangling more or less understood some basic principles of the physical and mental system, and these principles would naturally be incorporated into his daily life.
"Subhuti, the Tathagata is the one who speaks the truth, the one who speaks the truth, the one who speaks the truth, the one who does not lie, and the one who does not speak differently."
This is said in the Buddhist classic "Diamond Sutra".
The meaning comes first.
The premise of true speech, actual speech, such as speech, no lying, no different speech, is the true meaning, the real meaning, and "stay away from distorted delusions". If you just talk to others without delusions, and have wild thoughts in your mind when you are silent, it is typical
"False appearance" is not worth mentioning.
Put your heart first.
If you want to stay away from delusions, what you need is a righteous mind.
How to correct?
In philosophy, there is a Dharma. For ordinary people, there is a Dharma.
And for people like Xu Guangling, there is a kind of righteousness. Things that are not my own are things outside the body, and things that are not my body are things that are confounded and delusional.
If you want to expand your knowledge, the prerequisite is to get to the bottom of things and establish your feet.
"Sorry, what do you think?" Mr. Zhang asked about what Xu Guangling said about Japan.
If it had been before, such as when he just came back from Japan, Xu Guangling would have talked freely in front of the two old people, because he had really many feelings and impressions in his heart at that time, and there were many things he was unhappy about.
.
But now, Xu Guangling stands at a higher position and sees more things. Those original feelings and thoughts have become clouds under his feet.
Floating clouds come and go without disturbing the eyes, mind, or heart.
So he just smiled slightly, and then said: "Teacher, Mr. Chen, there is a sentence in "The Great Learning" that says, 'In ancient times, if you want to bring enlightenment to the world, you must first rule your country; if you want to rule your country, you must first bring order to the country."
His family; if you want to improve your family, you must first cultivate your body.'"
"This is true for people, and this is true for the country."
"If a person studies, works, and lives conscientiously, even if he has very little energy and can only entertain his parents and his wife and children, I would say that this person is good and 'righteous' in nature.
, there is no difference between him and the sages, it’s just that he is not as good as the sages in terms of level.”
"If a person is very capable, has made great achievements in culture, and writes books, or teaches and educates people, I would also say that this person is good and 'righteous'."
"If a person is very capable and has gained something financially, then he can support his brothers and help the village, build roads, build bridges, invest in schools, or boost an industry in his hometown, etc.
, even if he has the intention of inviting a name, I will still say that this person is good and 'righteous'."
"Teacher, Mr. Chen, when I was traveling westward from Changbai Mountain last year, I passed through a small county. There was a restaurant there. There were many people during the meal. Many people ate at the door with their bowls because there was no room inside.
."
"I smelled it from a distance but didn't find the food to be very delicious, so I took a closer look and had a meal there by the way."
"Then I discovered that its food was a little cheaper than other restaurants, but the ingredients were very considerate, and even the oil was good. Then, if the elderly came to dine, they would get a 50% discount, so they would only charge half the price.
"
"I stood in front of that store for half an hour. After a simple judgment, I felt that it was basically impossible for such a store to make money, and it would only be a small profit at most. Therefore, although it is a restaurant, you can actually see it.
Zuo is a 'shantang'.
"In my opinion, the owner of this store is good and 'upright'. At least he has done a good job in this matter."
"When I saw this, I was actually very happy. If Shizuishi Ito came to China, I would not invite him to climb the Great Wall, visit any cultural festivals, or treat him to a Manchu-Han banquet. I would
Invite him to that restaurant for a quick meal, and then tell him that no matter how morally corrupt China is, how greedy it is, how wolf-ridden it is, how smoky it is, as long as there is such a restaurant, China will still be China."
"There will not be too many such people and things in China today, but they will not be too few either. I believe that there will be them at all levels from top to bottom, scattered across this land."
"This disciple has an idea, which is to travel around in the future to look for these people and things."
"That's how I feel about individual people now."
"As for acupuncture, it's the country that's involved."
"In my disciple's current view, our country has previously decided to move forward with economic construction as the center while doing its best to ensure a stable and harmonious domestic and international environment. This is excellent."
"In this era, economics is the choice."
"As the economy improves, we can choose 'yes' or 'no' to many things at home and abroad."
"Acupuncture is no exception."
"If it is indeed good, then what if we import it from abroad?"
"So at present, as long as the country does not suppress, the national policy is positive. As for whether it is a boost or not, the intensity of the boost is not important. Let it develop naturally and slowly, seek a breakthrough in the predicament, and change from poverty to change.
, it may not be a good choice.”
After Xu Guangling finished speaking, the two old men were silent for a long time.
Until the silence was broken, the two old men did not express any excessive opinions on Xu Guangling's words. Instead, Mr. Chen gently patted his shoulders and said: "Boy, what you said is also...
Right."
"Of course, don't look at whose disciple I am!" Xu Guangling said with a chuckle, "One of the teachers at the sect level has already cultivated in the past life, let alone two of me!"
"You're a smart kid!" Mr. Chen slapped him on the shoulder three more times before stopping.
This time it was not a gentle pat, but a pat that made Xu Guangling grin.
At the dinner table, Xu Guangling ate lightly, but the two old men were different. They ate very much. The so-called reserve naturally did not need to be shown in front of his disciples. There was no need.
It wasn't until the two of them cleared the melons, no, cleared the pots, that Mr. Zhang suddenly asked as if he was remembering: "Immodestly, have you ever shown this skill in China?"
Xu Guangling was slightly stunned, but then understood what the teacher meant, and then told him about the base and asked Qian Shaoyou to take some food back.
"You are the only one who can cause trouble." Mr. Chen shook his head, "During this period, your teacher and I are not clean, and the threshold is about to be broken."
After understanding the specific situation, Xu Guangling smiled: "My disciple is not around, so I found some people to accompany you two. Isn't this a good thing?"
It's just a small thing.
For the three masters and disciples, it is the same.
Xu Guangling continued to talk, and then his footsteps entered the Kunlun Mountains.
This time, his narration was much more detailed, and his various experiences made the two old men either surprised, praised, or sighed.
Lying in the deep snow, climbing high mountains, practicing fasting for months and months, leaving the world behind, and in the process of brave and diligent progress, I reached the stage of becoming a great master.
Xu Guangling omitted things related to Qinghua Baozhuan, such as Su Nu Tongxin Jue, fundamental techniques, etc., but in terms of step-by-step specific physical and mental experience, it was detailed and detailed, detailed and detailed, and detailed to specific.
On a certain day, from morning to night, twenty-four hours a day, what did he do.
Basically, through words, he took the two old people to have a rough understanding of how he walked towards the great master.
This narration takes a long time.
During the process, I was interrupted many times by two old people, and then the three people started to testify.
But actually, this is just an introduction.
After the narration, it was already from morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, from evening to evening, and from evening to the dawn of a new day.
Looking at the two old people who were full of energy and even extremely excited, Xu Guangling said: "Teacher, Mr. Chen, I want to take you to the west for once. What do you think?"
