Cultivation: From the Inauguration of Druid

There is no front or back in the Tao, and those who have reached it come first.

Even Zhang Husheng and others practiced Taoism earlier than Lingqing, and even entered Taoism earlier than Lingqing.

But when they heard that Lingqing wanted to preach, they were still overjoyed.

Sitting in the hall and listening attentively, the expression is focused and hungry.

After deciding on the matter of the Lunan Religious Alliance just now, I just talked about the general framework and stopped.

Then everyone was not only curious about how Lingqing taught disciples like Lingji and Wenjun.

Even very curious about his path of practice.

So I couldn't help but ask him for some advice on the way of practice and the method of teaching disciples.

Ling Qing didn't hide anything, and answered their questions one by one.

The Taoist has existed forever, but the enlightened one has come.

It's not that you cherish yourself with a broom, but that the Tao is in yourself, in your body, in your heart, and in the world around you.

However, most people see but cannot see, hear but cannot obtain, obtain but cannot keep, and keep but cannot last long.

The cultivation methods of the five schools are different, and the enlightenment of the Tao is also different.

It was not easy for Lingqing to analyze them one by one at this time, so she didn't talk about the subtle joints.

Most of the talk is about the relationship between carefree, free and clear rules.

Taoism is not just Taoism. As long as those who practice the law of great power return to themselves, it is inevitable that they will not want to be restrained by others and want to pursue freedom.

Some warriors even aim to pursue mastery of thought.

However, whether it is carefree, comfortable, or thought-provoking, it does not mean wanton behavior.

Rest assured will only bring about destruction after madness.

Only by keeping one's heart in check, controlling one's mind, and following one's inclinations without overstepping the rules, can one be truly at ease, truly at ease, and truly understand one's thoughts.

Good and evil have no formula, and they are manifested only from the heart.

When Ling Qing was in the Black Mountain dungeon, he had discussed this good and evil with Yan Chixia and Mu Jingrou.

Both Lingqing and Yan Chixia once admired Wang Yangming's theory of good and evil.

It's just that what Lingqing held at that time was that following the inner principles of heaven is good, and being moved by Qi is evil.

Regardless of human beings, gods, ghosts and demons, as long as you can clarify your heart and act faithfully.

No matter what you do is good or evil in the eyes of others, it is good for yourself.

Even if it is a demon eating a man, or a man beheading a demon, as long as he is not moved by anger and indulges his heart and acts recklessly, he will not do evil.

Although Yan Chixia also believes that following the principles is good and being angry is evil, but for him, there is an extra layer of moral constraints.

This layer of moral constraints is a common concept of good and evil formed in the hearts of all people during a long period of running-in.

There is no fixed formula for this idea. The morality of the world of Montenegro is not the same as the morality in reality, and it is even very different from the world of mountain gods and the world of Warring States.

But unavoidably, this is a kind of norm formed by people in behavioral activities.

Has nothing to do with other creatures.

Lingqing has never been a kind person in a broad sense, he is just a kind person in his heart.

Therefore, some behaviors may be contrary to the common sense of morality, but they do not violate the good in his heart.

It's just that people change.

There is no right or wrong in Lingqing and Yan Chixia's view of good and evil. As far as I am concerned, as long as you act with sincerity, everything is good.

From Lingqing's point of view at this time, the two people's views on good and evil can also be said to represent the concepts of being born and entering the world respectively.

Don't look at Yan Chixia's disheartened look, seeking relief, but after all, he can't leave the world of mortals and meditate quietly.

Leaving the world of mortals, his way is gone.

This is just to illustrate that if Lingqing wants to join the WTO and take charge of the Lunan Religious Alliance, it is inevitable to add a layer of moral constraints to her own concept of good and evil.

And the lowest limit of this layer of moral constraints is the universal law.

It's just that Lingqing and others all have sects, and there are clear rules and regulations in the sect.

In some places, legal constraints may be stronger than sect precepts.

However, in most cases, the sect's precepts are basically much stricter than the law in terms of the moral requirements of the disciples.

As the saying goes, good filial piety is the first, regardless of deeds, no filial sons in poor families; first of all evil and adultery, regardless of deeds, deeds are always rare.

The sect's precepts and moral constraints are not only based on deeds, but also on the mind.

This is not for others to see, but for yourself, for your own practice.

But people are not perfect after all, they must be restrained from time to time, and self-examination in everything.

Therefore, Lingqing's sermon this time is also a synthesis of the sect's precepts and national laws.

Taking the law as the minimum bottom line and precepts as the requirements for xinxing practice, I roughly sorted out the code of conduct of the Lunan Religious Alliance in the future.

Use this to restrain everyone and alert everyone.

It also stated that when some disciples violated the precepts but did not break the law, the sect could punish them according to their own precepts.

When violating the law but not violating the precepts, they are consciously handed over to the Special Affairs Department for disposal according to law.

And when he violated both the precepts and the law, he will be punished by both the sect and the special affairs department, and the special affairs department will supervise the execution.

He also participated in the production of the heavenly rules and regulations in the Warring States dungeon, and these are also easily grasped.

After some explanations, Zhang Husheng and others couldn't help but feel admiration.

Of course, Lingqing is not just talking about how to set rules and how to punish people.

Everyone's purpose is still to practice. In the eyes of some people, this kind of behavior really feels like dancing with shackles, which makes people feel a kind of restraint invisibly.

Therefore, Lingqing also explained how to get the real freedom and freedom within these rules.

He has inherited the principles of the sages and sages, and most of them have practiced this kind of mind.

After all, for the sages and sages, reincarnation in the lower realms was during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when they publicized their ideas to princes, kings and all living beings.

For them, the constraints are much greater than everyone's observance of legal precepts.

This guy didn't say anything about flipping the table, even if it was Ling Qing who flipped the table, they didn't do anything to him.

Do you think they can't or dare not? People just don't want to.

Leaving aside the concepts of other schools of thought, most of the people listening today are descendants of Taoism.

What Lingqing is talking about is derived from Zhuangzi's Xiaoyaoyou, not talking about other things, just talking about the changes of Kunpeng and freedom.

There is a fish in Dark North, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

Peng's migration in Nanmingye, the water hits three thousand miles, and the one who swings upwards is ninety thousand miles, and the one who goes to rest in June.

The transformation of the Kunpeng, jumping out of the abyss and flying into the sky, transforming into the Peng and soaring to the sky, this is called great freedom and freedom.

Some people say that this is when the Kun broke the shackles of the sea and turned into a Peng, soaring wantonly between the heaven and the earth.

Therefore, it is required to be free and unrestrained, and the shackles of rules and regulations should be broken.

However, Peng's soaring is still between the heaven and the earth, and he is also bound by the heaven and the earth. How can we say that this is carefree and at ease?

Lingqing believes that what Kun breaks is not the shackles of rules and regulations, but the inherent thinking in his heart that rules and regulations are restrictions.

Practicing and cultivating the mind, only by breaking the cage of the sea of ​​darkness in the heart, can you be able to spread your wings and transform into a Peng, and be at ease in this world.

When you think that the turbid sea of ​​mortals has bound your heart, the law and precepts hinder your freedom.

In fact, as long as you can get rid of the prejudice in your heart, you can see that the turbid sea will be emptied, and the world of mortals will be out of the world.

Even if you don't understand it anymore, you just separate the world from the world.

He entered the world as Kun, and was born as Peng.

People in the world only see Kun turning into Peng, but not Peng turning into Kun.

It must be known that when the kun leaves the northern underworld, it turns into a peng, and when the peng flies over the southern underworld, it turns into a kun.

The freedom here is not only Pengfei Nine Heavens, Kunsoaring Jiuyuan can also be freedom.
