Chapter 191
Dao Xin also has no emotions, no desires, no form and no image, as long as we get rid of the ordinary mind and keep the Dao Mind, the seven emotions will naturally be eliminated, and the six desires will not arise.The ordinary mind is the heart of greed, desire and delusion, but human beings are the spirit of all things, and the Tao mind is born on the ground, so the ordinary mind and the Tao mind exist at the same time. It depends on how the practitioner uses wisdom to get rid of greed, hatred, ignorance and other greedy hearts The devil, Daqi asked in the "Evening Lessons": "All kinds of namelessness are the roots of bitterness. The roots of bitterness are eliminated and all good roots exist. But with the power of the wisdom sword, you can jump out of the five bitter gates of reincarnation. 'This is to warn us to wear the sword of wisdom to get rid of demons.Only in this way can we go deeper and farther on the road of practice, so it is said: the heart is not dead, and the heart of the Tao is not alive.

Taishang's "Qing Jing Jing" said: "People's hearts are so quiet, and I want to hold them." 'People's hearts are originally quiet, but they are often entangled by external disturbances, and their minds are distracted.The heart is like a stubborn ape, flying for hundreds of thousands of miles, boundless; the mind is like a wild horse, galloping uncontrollably.The disorder of the heart interferes with the soul, causing the soul, energy, and essence to dissociate. People are like walking corpses. The six roots, six thieves, six dusts, and six consciousnesses are even more harmful to the six gods. The mind is restless and often falls into samsara. .If the primordial spirit of a person is in harmony with the primordial qi, and the primordial qi exists in the primordial essence, then the nature and the truth are in harmony with the Tao, and the deeds are in harmony with the virtue.

There is a confession in the "Homework Sutra", which says: "Then I will repay the ups and downs, the samsara is tossed, and I suffer from all kinds of troubles without rest. It is all due to the difference of one thought, obscuring the self-nature, falsely recognizing the illusion of the six dusts, and indulging in love." 'This shows that the root of all sins is caused by the human heart, and every thought of good and evil is also determined by the human heart.The patriarch is merciful and sympathetic to the younger generations, wake up early, realize life early, live the mind of the Tao early, avoid the crime of three smears and five sufferings, and jump out of the door of samsara and five sufferings.After reaching a certain level of practice, one must elevate the state again, persevere, do things that ordinary people cannot do, endure hardships that ordinary people cannot endure, work hard on the mind, let go of obsessions in the heart, abandon the false self, and cultivate the real self, so that The true self is neither born nor destroyed, neither goes nor comes.In this way, if you want to use falsehood to cultivate the truth, you must not recognize the falsehood as the truth, and lose your true self.

The true self is the true nature of man.Authenticity is naturally quiet and inaction, and it is inherent in everyone's mind.The heart is in the heart.Experience is like a warehouse, where you can accumulate virtue and store filth.Unhealthy lifestyles, living habits, and acquired obstacles will pollute the mind and blind the mind.

When the human mind is blinded, the true nature will be lost.Just like a mirror is like life: people are born with light, spirit, formless, chaotic and unconscious, and as they progress, they begin to add flowers, grass, fish, insects, people of all colors, etc., many tricks and tricks to the mirror... Only those things that eliminate the soul Concealing things can make people cleanse their hearts, rejuvenate their souls, and return to the light, so that they can see the truth with the light of the Tao and the soul that already exists in their hearts.

Although the practice methods and environments are different, one must always follow one's duty, be pure-minded, be conscious of life, respect morality and virtue, use fasting as a bridge, and use goodness as a boat.Only by rectifying the mind can the soul be restored, and the self-nature's "clean and bright, white and bright, quiet and dark, nothing inside and outside, dim and silent, righteous and inaction..." of the self-nature.

It is recorded in "Yuanshi Tianzun Said the Sutra of Being Born in Heaven and Obtaining the Tao": I am you now, to enlighten the body and mind a little, and to clarify the essentials of Taoism.The gods and immortals in the ten directions have all practiced from this scripture.And Tongweiao is good at men and women.Relying on fasting, it is Jinliang.Everything is promising, showing the true way.Embodying this dharma can be accepted and held.Can screen all karma, eliminate defilement forever.You can't think outside, you can't think inside.In righteous thoughts, the five viscera are refreshed.The six internal organs regulate the Thai, 360.Between the joints, there are various obstacles.Ten evil karma, hundred and eighty troublesome karma.All the sources of suffering and sin are eliminated.

It can be seen from this that the most important thing in cultivation is to cultivate the heart. If a person can't even cultivate the Taoist heart, then this person's cultivation will be limited within a certain range. progress. "

Testing the strength of the head of his sect is a common thing between the two sects' diplomacy. At the same time, the answer to this situation is either to be modest and low-key, or to deliberately exaggerate.However, combined with what Elder Huijue said just now, this greeting is very meaningful.

In this regard, Elder Shan Ming said: "Our sect leader is talented and intelligent. Although there are many sect important matters to be dealt with, his cultivation base has not let go. unstoppable."

While Elder Shan Ming was speaking, he was secretly looking at Elder Rui Ming, and this small gesture was fully observed by the head of the Wudang faction who followed him closely. He has reached 60 years of skill, but he has not been able to purify the Qi training in his body, so he can't break through the two-year-old skill.Even if Lord Wanfa can improve his qi training to 60 years of skill in the past two years, he is still no match for Elder Ruiming.

But Shan Ming's words were very confident in the strength of the head of the Kunlun School, and when he spoke, he looked at Elder Ruiming from time to time, which further deepened the suspicion of the head of the Wudang School against Elder Ruiming.

But the leader of the Wudang Sect is not a fool. He knows that Shan Ming’s return is likely to be the beginning of a war between the two sects. Apart from the supreme elders of the two sects, Elder Ruiming is the top combat power of the Wudang Sect. The leader of the Wudang Sect is not Maybe he dealt with Elder Ruiming because of these suspicions, but it was impossible not to be on guard.

Elder Huijue said: "As the head of a sect, it is really a fortune for the sect to be able to deal with all matters of the sect without delaying your cultivation."

Elder Shan Ming replied: "What Junior Brother Huijue said is absolutely true."

Elder Huijue continued: "The third peerless sword is Xingji. The sage said: I will examine myself three times every day. Are I unfaithful in my plans for others? Do I not trust my friends when I make friends? Are I not accustomed to preaching?"
However, I think the key to awakening oneself is to recognize one's own strength. If you do not have a certain understanding of your own strength, you will choose the wrong path. If you choose the wrong path, you will not be far from failure.

But our evaluation of ourselves is often higher than our actual situation. Even after getting some opportunities, we feel that we are invincible, but they cannot correctly understand their own strength.

A military strategist once said: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose once; if you do not know the enemy and yourself, you will be imperiled in every battle.

When facing a strong enemy, we can often calm down and carefully analyze the opponent's abilities, strengths and weaknesses. We can easily do this by knowing the enemy.

But it’s not so easy to be a confidant. No matter what kind of situation we face, our estimation of our abilities will be out of touch with reality, either because we are afraid of the enemy weakening our abilities, or because we look down on our opponents and exaggerate our own strength.

How can a person who doesn't even know his own strength know the people under his command? If there is such a person as the commander, if he weakens his own strength, he may miss the good opportunity out of caution in the war. Exaggerating one's own strength, as the saying goes, a proud soldier is bound to be defeated, and it is easy for the enemy to catch his weakness and kill him with one blow.

So this wake-up knife can wake up a person, don't do stupid things. "

Elder Huijue's last knife was not only reminding Elder Shan Ming and the entire Kunlun faction, but also reminding Wudang faction not to be too radical.However, Elder Huijue has repeatedly disobeyed the opinions of the head of the Wudang faction. The elders of the Wudang faction have long been very dissatisfied with him.

Elder Shan Ming said after listening, "Junior Brother Huijue's words are very reasonable. No matter what you do, you should think twice before acting. I don't know what Junior Brother Huijue thinks?"

Elder Huijue replied: "Senior Brother Shan Ming is absolutely right. You can't underestimate the enemy, and you can't be confident."

Elder Shan Ming sneered: "I wonder how much Junior Brother Huijue knows about his own strength?"

Elder Huijue retorted: "That depends on who the enemy is."

Any power in the world must have their own reasons for being able to pass on for a long time, especially the three schools of Shaolin, Kunlun and Wudang. If the inheritors have no force but no intelligence, these schools will either perish or decline.Therefore, no one standing on the peak is a fool, but they are used to looking down at the world, and they look down on others.

Elder Shan Ming is the most outstanding diplomat of the Kunlun Sect. Since he served as the diplomatic elder, all the diplomatic affairs of the Kunlun Sect have been decided by him alone. For decades, there has been no mistake. Even if Wan Fajun takes over as the head of the Kunlun Sect After Shan Ming was promoted to Supreme Elder, Wan Fajun still let him take charge of diplomacy, which was a recognition of his ability.

And the most important thing in diplomacy is interest. If it is just diplomacy between small sects, at most four or five sects will unite together. If there is a collision of interests, the leaders of each faction can come forward to mediate.

However, a school like the Kunlun School, one of the three major forces in the world, not only wants to establish diplomatic relations with schools of the same level, but also throws olive branches to small schools.There are hundreds of sects, big and small, and the entanglement of interests among them is also intricate. Shan Ming's ability to balance other sects while also seeking benefits for the Kunlun sect is enough to show that his ability is extraordinary.

It is not at all surprising that Elder Huijue is hostile to Elder Shanming. His main purpose of coming this time is to anger the Wudang faction.

Elder Huijue can be said to be the only person in the Wudang sect who sees the world with his eyes open. Of course he can see the purpose of elder Shan Ming, but now the entire Wudang sect is full of confidence because of the blood-drinking knife. Thinking about the purpose of Elder Shan Ming's visit, their only thought now is that they must not allow Elder Shan Ming to wait for the Kunlun faction with the blood-drinking knife.

Although Elder Huijue had offended many people from the Wudang faction before, his identity was there, and he was qualified to speak at a meeting of this level. In order to unite, he will not interrupt Elder Huijue's speech. As for other people who see the head of the Wudang sect, they will not stop Elder Huijue, so naturally they will not say too much.

For a time, the first battle between Kunlun and Wudang, the three major factions in the world, was fought by Elder Shan Ming and Elder Huijue.

Elder Shan Ming deliberately asked, "Who is the opponent Junior Brother Huijue is talking about?"

Elder Huijue smiled and said, "Brother Shan Ming is so curious?"

"Of course, it's human nature to be curious."

"Curiosity can be regarded as the desire to understand unknown things. Have you forgotten what the younger brother said just now?"

"Oh" Elder Shan Ming questioned: "Junior brother Huijue talked a lot just now, he is stupid, I don't know what the younger brother is referring to?"

"There is a saying in the Buddha's words: those who are greedy are the root of all suffering. I see my brother suffering from curiosity and desire, and I feel sorry for it."

Although the two of them are tacit understanding now, none of them dare to act without authorization, let alone leave an excuse for the other party to start a war, so this superficial work must be done well.

Elder Shan Ming sensed Elder Hui Jue's hypocrisy, cursed the old fox secretly in his heart, and said: "The realm of my brother is high, and my brother is far behind, but I think there is nothing wrong with seeing everything in the world, let alone if you don't know suffering , that can experience the beauty of sweetness."

Elder Huijue replied: "Senior Brother Shan Ming has spoken highly, and Junior Brother has learned a lesson."

Elder Shan Ming smiled slightly and said, "Now, Junior Brother Huijue, can you tell me who the enemy is?"

Elder Huijue replied: "Since this is the case, the younger brother will satisfy the brother's curiosity and relieve the brother from the pain of curiosity."

Elder Shan Ming said: "In this case, I will thank my brother Huijue."

"Brother, you're welcome." Elder Huijue said with a smile, "Life is for continuous improvement. Whether it is cultivating the mind or practicing Qi, you can learn and improve even by eating and drinking, but the fastest way for a person to improve Nothing is better than the opponent's incentive.

It is said that the greatest sorrow of being a hero is not being defeated by others, but that there is no one who can compete with him on the battlefield.

The waterfall looks for the deep pool as its opponent, and the moment it leaps, it creates the beauty and magnificence of the silver bottle breaking and the gold splashing and jade splashing.Diamond looks for rocks as opponents, so that it can compose a song full of enthusiasm in lonely and boring work, and can release its own energy and shine its own brilliance in monotonous and boring days.

Finding an opponent for yourself is also to cultivate a kind of spirit.As the ancients once said: natural selection, survival of the fittest.Although finding an opponent for oneself in real life has not affected the extent of human survival, it is undeniable that only in an atmosphere of competition can people enrich themselves and temper themselves.

Everything in the world is connected and contradictory.Finding an opponent for yourself is actually based on the premise of acknowledging connections and contradictions, which embodies a spirit of proactively resolving conflicts, and embodies the persistence of "the road is long and the road is long, and I will search up and down."Only in this way can we show strength and beauty to fate, and the whole life will be more exciting.

I once read an ancient foreign book, the general idea in it is that the enemy is a reference for us to establish our identity, and only by confrontation can we highlight our own value.If there are no real enemies, enemies must be created. "

Elder Shan Ming smiled and said, "Junior Brother Huijue, what do you mean you found an imaginary enemy for yourself?"

Elder Huijue nodded and said: "That's right, the sage said: Therefore, when heaven will send a great mission to man, he must first suffer from his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and disturb his actions. So tempted to endure, Zeng benefited what he couldn't.

People persist in their mistakes, and then they can correct them; they are trapped in their hearts, weighed in their worries, and then they act; they are manifested in their appearance, and they are expressed in their voices, and then they are metaphors.If you enter, you will be helpless, and if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish.Then know that was born of hardship but died of well-being also.

It can be seen from this that if there is no enemy's urging, a person will slow down his pace of progress, so if he wants to keep moving forward, he must constantly set up an imaginary enemy for himself.This imaginary enemy can be a real person, or it can be created out of thin air, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the ability of this imaginary enemy is at least equal to your own, so that you can arouse your self-motivation. "

"Okay" Elder Huijue had just finished speaking, Elder Shanming shouted, then he changed the subject and asked, "I don't know if self-motivation is considered greed in the eyes of Junior Brother Huijue?"

Elder Huijue replied: "There are three poisons in Buddhism: greed, anger, and ignorance. Among the three poisons, greed is the first. The so-called greed is the desire to covet things that do not belong to you."
