In those years, the cultivators we cut together

The first time he came into contact with the so-called Enlightenment, Lin Xiaolu felt a feeling that seemed very "simple" but he couldn't get started.

After studying with Shuai Shuai Ya for so long, he has basically figured out the meaning of the Book of Changes, but he was very confused when he was asked to understand it. After all, like the past, the future, and the so-called spirit of all things, these are either abstract The concept is either invisible or intangible, which makes him feel that he doesn't even have a reference object. How can he realize this?Fantasy in your own head?

At the table, Lin Xiaolu frowned, and then asked the first question with some hesitation:

"Sir, when should students start enlightenment?"

"You can start at any time." Kong Zhongni on the opposite side of the table looked very relaxed, sipping tea leisurely and said with a smile:

"Everything a person does, even the trivial things that are meaningless, is useful. The old man believes that, in fact, everyone is enlightened from birth, and life is the greatest Tao. From birth to death It's over, so Xiaoyou Lin doesn't have to worry, because you are already enlightened."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that when he was in Wuxin Temple, Zen Master Wuxin seemed to have said the same thing to himself. At that time, he would accompany Zen Master Wuxin to plant and water the fields every day after practicing. Turning over the soil, although these may be meaningless little things for the cultivator, but he did feel a kind of tranquility and happiness that he had never experienced before while farming.

Perhaps, that is the so-called Enlightenment?

Lin Xiaolu thought for a while, then looked at Kong Zhongni respectfully, and asked again:

"Sir, the students want to ask, the past, the future, and all the qi. If students want to understand these, where should they start?"

Hearing this question, Kong Zhongni pondered for a while, and the handsome duck beside him also showed a thoughtful look, and after a while, Kong Zhongni answered:

"Little friend Lin can start from the past first. The old man thinks this is a relatively simple step. Little friend Lin can ask about the past of his friends around him, or he can look back at his own past to see if he can gain some insights from it."

Hearing these words, Lin Xiaolu suddenly felt weird.

He felt that this so-called enlightenment was a bit cloudy and nonsense.

Comprehension of these, will bring the growth of strength?He finds it unrealistic.

Because Lin Xiaolu has his own logic. In his logic, no amount of hard work will necessarily bring you a little bit of harvest, but you will definitely gain something.

And his goal is also very clear from the beginning to the end, that is to break out of the old bully realm and become a kingly realm comparable to a monk in the heavenly realm.

But in his logic, asking about other people's past and looking back at his own past has nothing to do with the improvement of his skills. Although it is true that every effort is reaped, he is here to improve his cultivation , and he feels that this kind of thing has nothing to do with his cultivation, even if he can gain some insights, it is not compatible with improving his cultivation, so he doesn't really want to do it.

Therefore, after struggling for a while, he directly questioned again:

"Sir, if a person succeeds in enlightenment, can he really improve his cultivation? What's the reason? Students really feel that enlightenment has nothing to do with improving their cultivation."

When this question was asked, the handsome duck on the side looked at Lin Xiaolu in a daze. It felt that the boss was asking questions that he couldn't answer at all. Unlike before, he could answer every question he asked. .

Is this growth?

Across the table, Kong Zhongni pondered for a while, and then said:

"If a person succeeds in enlightenment, the first thing he gets is an understanding of the rules.

Secondly, there will be an expanded integration of the "Tao" itself. "

He holds up a finger:

"for example.

The old man enlightened the Tao through the text of the book, created the way of "Confucianism", and created a way for scholars all over the world. This will not have any effect on the practice in a short time, but after a period of time, it will play a series of effects. chain reaction.

First of all, the old man's soul is closely integrated with "Confucianism and Taoism". What he says can affect the world and the world. Any literary work, the old man can easily see its central idea and essence.

So if you insist on making a comparison, then Lin Xiaoyou can understand that after enlightenment is successful, you can become a master and a prophet in a certain aspect, at a certain point, because you have touched all the laws on this road.

And at that time, all of what you have realized will deeply imprint it in your soul, and achieve a mutual achievement result with you. "

At the table, Kong Zhongni taught everything without hesitation:

"The so-called practice has no distinction between high and low. Its ultimate goal is always the perception of the state of mind, so that the practitioner can obtain the joy of freedom and freedom as he wants. Xiaoyou Lin uses Yi to pass through the past, and in the future, the spirit of all things will learn the way. What I will get, I don't know, after all, everyone's way is different, and people are different, so what they get is naturally different.

However, Lin Xiaoyou doesn’t need to be entangled, because we don’t have to do one thing for the purpose, the most important thing is whether doing this thing can make us happy. "

"Lin Xiaoyou, life is very long. Sometimes, doing things that you don't know the results will be more interesting and relaxing, but if you do everything with the goal in mind, you will inevitably feel pressure and you will not let go.

When the old man was young, he often liked to talk meaningless nonsense. His companions said that the old man was boring. Elegant, talking nonsense, reading nonsense literature, not only happy, but also refreshing, this is a happy way of practice. "

"Pfft." Lin Xiaolu smiled, he was amused by Kong Zhongni who was full of sense of humor.

He already understands the meaning, Mr. Zhong Ni wants to do it first, to try, without having a strong utilitarianism, and to enlighten the Tao easily and happily.

He thinks it makes sense, and it is true that he thinks too hard about practice, enlightenment, haha, and limits his thinking. Who said that practice can't be happy?

I am only 17 years old this year, and I am already in the old world. In the past, I guess it would be no problem to be a king of the mountain, so I have plenty of time. Even if I realize a piece of shit, I am still young, and I can continue to understand other things .

Therefore, wanting to understand, he decided not to think about the result, let go of his obsession, and tried to understand the Book of Changes regardless of the result.

As for what can be realized in the end, what can be obtained, all go to hell.

Well, when I go back, I will ask the little winter melon Zhugedan about their past, feel the "past" and see if there are any flaws that can make me laugh at them severely.
