Chapter 99: The Tao of Taoism

"If you want to rule the world, you must first cure the heart!"

On the fifth day, Taoist Yang Zhu began to preach on the altar.

Zhuang Zhou, as Yang Zhu's close disciple, stood beside Yang Zhu, listening to the master's sermon, while paying attention to the movements around him, protecting the master's safety, and serving the master's tea.

Master Yang Zhu appeared, and there were a lot of people under the podium, and the number of people who appeared in the sea was more than the number of people who appeared in the world. Seeing this situation, Zhuang Zhou had to take it!

Before this, Shi Gong Yu was the most amazing person in the world in his heart, and so many people respected him and respected him! But! Ever since he met Master Yang Zhu, he knew that Master Yang Zhu's prestige was even higher.

“…… Today's world! What do we need most? The most needed place is the great talent who governs the world! But! If you want to rule the world, you must first cure the heart! Otherwise? It is impossible to govern the world perfectly. Taoism is not only the study of governing the world! It is also the study of healing the mind! So! If you want to learn to govern the world, you must first learn to govern the heart! The study of curing the mind, the first choice is Taoism......"

Since Yang Zhu was ordered by Master Yin Xi, he has traveled around the world to preach for his brothers, sisters, nephews, juniors, and later scholars, and has long been familiar with preaching at least one or two times a day.

“…… Other doctrines, including the Mohists and the Confucianists, did not fundamentally solve the problem! They are all quacks, headaches and feet! Didn't solve people's problems!

May I ask? Without solving people's problems, how can we solve society's problems? How can we solve the problems of the Great Zhoutianxia? How can we solve the problem of troubled times? So! All the ideas, doctrines and ideas of the hundred schools of thought cannot solve the problem of mutual war between the princes! ……

If you want to rule the world! You must first cure people! If you want to heal people! You must heal your heart first!

How to Treat People? How to cure the heart?

If you want to heal people! If you want to cure your heart! The problem of the origin of man and all things must be solved first! The question of why people live! ……”

Yang Zhu was familiar with it and began to explain the Tao! The Taoist "Tao"!

Zhuang Zhou poured a cup of tea and motioned for the master to drink tea. As the Master was about to get to the point, he ignored him and kicked him gently. In desperation, Zhuang Zhou had to step aside and listen carefully.

This time! There was silence in the audience, so quiet that you could hear everyone's heartbeat. Everyone's hearts beat like a beating drum, surging!

Sitting in the corner of the podium, he was also listening carefully, very seriously, not at all a centenarian who relied on the old and sold the old, disrespectful for the old, but like a primary school student.

“…… What is Tao? The Tao is the origin of all things! The source of all things!

The source of all things, including the cosmic sky, the sun, the moon and the stars, the earth, everything on the earth! Including people, they all come from the Tao! It all comes from the 'first being,' and that first existence is the Tao.

Man is also the Tao! Man comes from the Tao and returns to the Tao after death!

Man comes from the Word! From the Tao, from that 'original being', it has evolved into a human being through countless times.

The source of all things is the same, from the Tao. From the Tao, from that 'primordial being', it has evolved into all things through countless times!

The universe, the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars, the earth, everything on the earth comes from the Tao. From the Tao, from that 'primordial being', it has evolved countless times into the universe, the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the earth......"

Seeing that everyone in the audience heard it in a fog, Yang Zhu had to change his explanation!

The saddest level for those who learn the Tao is to understand the Tao and know the Tao! You must first know what the Tao is! If you understand what the Tao is, it will be much easier to learn the rest of the world.

In fact! Taoists are the earliest materialists!

The Tao of Taoism is actually a physical being! Lao Tzu believes that everything in the world comes from "the original physical being". And then! It took countless changes before it evolved into something concrete. A specific object, such as a person, such as the universe, the starry sky, the sun, the moon and the earth. So! Truly authentic, materialistic!

Some people may still not understand, what is "the original entity being"? In fact! Very simple!

Like people! What if man is "the original physical being"? Let's not go into the origin of the human being for a while, but set it up as "the original physical being". And then! What happens when a person dies? When people die, they actually start to change!

When a person dies, it decays, and when it decays, it melts into the earth and becomes a part of the flowers and trees. Person! The "original entity being" no longer exists, but it exists as another "original entity being"! Because it has become a part of the earth, it has become the nourishment of flowers and trees, and then the nourishment has become flowers and trees.

And at this time! Flowers and trees have become "the original physical beings". And then the flowers and trees, the "original physical beings", continue to evolve, endlessly......

In fact! This is just one example! In fact! After death, people not only become a part of the earth, but also become the nourishment of flowers and trees, and also become countless kinds of existence. For example, it becomes dirt, changes the composition of the original soil, and so on, and so on, it is impossible to list them all.

Taoists believe that everything in the universe, the starry sky, the sun, the moon, the earth, and so on and so forth, has evolved from "the original physical being", and has evolved through countless times and countless years! We can't go back to the root and find out what the "original physical being" was.

So! Taoists think! Man is also the Tao! All things are also the Way! All physical beings are Tao! They are all "the original physical beings", they are all Taos.

So! Taoists are the first materialists! Taoism is different from later religions in that it believes that all things in heaven and earth, and the starry sky in the universe are created by whom! Rather, it is materialistically believed that all things in heaven and earth and the starry sky in the universe are derived from the "original physical being" and evolved from the "original physical being" through countless times and countless years.

If you are a materialist, you can learn the Tao!

After Taoism solved the problem of the origin of the universe and the starry sky, heaven and earth, it began to solve the problems of human beings.

If you want to rule the world! The question of why people live must be solved first!

It is sad that no one knows what he is living for!

Taoists think! Man, human being, is just a passerby of life!

Human beings, like all things, come from the Tao and return to the Tao! People are going to die eventually! In the end, human beings, like all things, are born at the right time, and will automatically perish when the time is not right, not by the will of man! It is even more impossible to live forever, long live long live long live.

Die! It is a fact that people, human beings, and all things cannot escape!

But! Exist in the suitability of the external environment! Just like other things, plants, and animals on the earth, they can survive when they are suitable for survival, and they will disappear when the external environment is not suitable for their survival!

Humans too!

Only the Word can live forever! The Tao continues to change.

If you know the Word, you too can live forever! This is "enlightenment"! You can think of yourself as "the original physical being," and when you reach this level of awareness, you are enlightened.

This is the fate of mankind! Person! Can you still live forever?

So! Taoists who pursue immortality are not orthodox Taoists, they are all Taoists who have gone to extremes.
