Life goes on, and it doesn't stop because someone is happy or unhappy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Time flies, and a year has passed. Han Xiao still didn't succeed in enlightening the spirit, but the progress of his internal force cultivation was getting faster, and his internal force was becoming more and more refined.
With the continuous refinement of the internal force, Han Xiao's plan must be realized, it is only a matter of time.
This year, Han Xiao lived quietly and fully, and no one bothered him. Of course, no one taught him anything, he had to learn everything by himself.
Because, Fang Tianzheng and Tang Xuan are said to be in retreat and cultivating, once this immortal cultivator retreats, until he is satisfied with the time when he leaves the customs, there is generally no special thing that will definitely not leave the customs. From this aspect, immortal cultivators are very selfish, for the sake of immortality, family affection can be diluted, and feelings can be sacrificed.
Seven emotions and six desires, for immortal cultivators, are demonic obstacles.
There is a saying that drops, cultivating the Tao of immortals, pure heart and few desires are the primary condition.
What about this pure heart and few desires...... Well, it means to clear out distracting thoughts, to keep your mind at peace or to keep your mind pure, and to have fewer desires.
The advantage of doing this is that you can concentrate on your cultivation and achieve the lofty goal of immortality.
When a person can't let go of the attachments and distractions in his mind, he will be impetuous, and he will not take advantage of the practice.
Of course, we can't think about countermeasures calmly and rationally.
And when a cultivator can meditate and get rid of all distracting thoughts and enter a state of tranquility, there will be a wonderful sense of beauty throughout the body and mind, which is the feeling that can only be felt when the heart is truly empty.
There is a saying that stillness produces wisdom – that is, wisdom can only be produced when the mind is truly still.
In the most tranquil moment, a person's mind will be in order, his soul will be sublimated, and great wisdom will naturally arise.
People in the world, because they are lost in personal gains and losses, it is difficult to let go of their seven emotions and six desires, so they cannot control their resentment and sorrow, and cannot achieve a state of mind that is like water and always quiet.
For example, walking on the bustling and noisy streets, the red dust blinds people's eyes, and running wild makes people's hearts crazy, and rare and rare things will tempt people's desires.
In the world of red dust, money, beauty, power, everything is full of temptation for people.
Therefore, it is difficult for a person who does not cultivate to achieve the state of mind like water, it is difficult to find inner tranquility, and it is even more difficult to achieve true pure heart and few desires.
The scriptures say, "Determined by the precepts, wisdom will surely be born." ”
It means that concentration is to be generated in silence, and wisdom is to be born in concentration.
Tranquility enables Buddhism to reach the realm of four meditations and eight determinations, enlightenment and enlightenment.
Taoists also say: "Who can stop turbidity, and Xu Qing who can be quiet; who can be stable for a long time, and Xu Sheng, who can move." "Quiet, so that the Taoist cultivates himself into meditation, in order to become Jindan Avenue.
Confucianism, on the other hand, says: "Knowing and then having a certainty, being certain and then being able to be quiet, being quiet and then being able to consider, and then being able to get it." ”
Tranquility enables Confucianism to gain wisdom and complete the ladder of life of self-cultivation, family unity, governance of the country, and peace in the world; tranquility is not only a kind of cultivation, but also a kind of wisdom.
At present, when things are not chaotic, they can generate infinite wisdom and resolve difficulties, and those who are impetuous and confused not only cannot solve problems, but make mistakes.
The troubles of life come from the desire of non-division, and all kinds of temptations make the bright moon in people's hearts dusty.
Young people, in particular, are brave and aggressive, and often appear restless, and they add their fists and feet to the fight of a few words, and they consider themselves to be manly bravery.
Fighting with each other and drawing swords is just a kind of courage of a horseman.
People who know the magic of meditation will not be brave, but will not be chaotic in the face of danger, calm and calm, do not like to be in shape, and treat people and things with a calm and peaceful attitude to deal with the situation.
And calm and calm, calm and unhurried will produce calm thinking and rational thinking, and will not be alarmed.
For example, Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" heard that Sima Yi led 150,000 troops to attack Xicheng County after the street pavilion was lost, and at this time he only had 2,500 troops in his hands to defend the city, but he did not panic, and only led two children to carry a piano, sit by the railing, and burn incense to play the piano.
frightened off the suspicious Sima Yi with a calm and peaceful piano sound, and saved his defeated army with extraordinary wisdom.
In the disturbed world, the quiet mind is like an immovable mountain, calm and peaceful, and the impetuous mind is like a weed in the water, drifting with the tide.
With a pure heart and few desires, a calm mind, and a calm mind, there are fewer obstacles in cultivation, and the progress can be made in a rapid way.
Therefore, those who cultivate the Tao of Immortals, first of all, have a pure heart and few desires, all of which are for the purpose of attaining immortality.
