Can you live forever

Chapter 191 Propagating the Dharma and preaching the Tao, the true sage

Zhang Zhixiang's lectures this time are not about simple Taoism, but teaching people how to practice.

When he was young, the old heavenly master didn't let him practice Daoyin technique because Zhang Zhixiang should learn the Tao, not the technique. It was a teaching method with high expectations, but for ordinary people, they only wanted to be strong and healthy You can practice more.

What Zhang Zhixiang wanted to teach was still the Eight Parts Vajra Kung Fu.

The Eight Parts Vajra Kungfu originated from Ziyang Master Zhang Boduan. With Zhang Boduan’s knowledge of studying the eight extraordinary meridians, it was later passed on to Bai Yuchan in Jindan Nanzong. Bai Yuchan added eight movements according to Zhang Boduan’s theory. Eight Vajra Kung Fu.

Since the Song Dynasty, this exercise has been passed down in a single line.

There are many Dharma veins in Quanzhen Dao, but they are all scattered. Even the Vajra Kung Fu of the outer eight divisions is not complete. You know a few, I know a few, and the inner eight divisions of longevity kung fu are even more catastrophic.

Especially the last four parts of Longevity Gong are even more obscure and fragmented.

Even if Taoist Zhang Zhishun learned it from his master, it is incomplete. Various schools in Quanzhen have adapted the incomplete Babu Vajra Kungfu into Baduanjin, but it is not necessary.

Taoist Zhang Zhishun devoted himself to cultivating the Tao for 68 years, and finally completed the eight parts of Vajra longevity skills, formed a systematic theory, and established a unified standard.

This is the great merit.

Why did the Taoist master pass on his skills to the world?This is related to the experience of the Taoist priest.

Daochang studied medicine in his early years, and taught himself herbal medicine for three years. Then he practiced medicine to save people. When he was treating diseases, he found that herbal medicine was not as effective as acupuncture, so he began to learn acupuncture. But he used acupuncture a lot, but felt that acupuncture was not as effective as massage. , Many times, by pressing those acupoints well, the body's own qi can cure the disease.

But massage is an external force after all, no matter how good an outsider can cure a disease, it is better for the patient to practice by himself.

then.

The Daoist Master Haoshou Poor Sutra devoted his whole life to finishing and perfecting the Vajra Longevity Kung Fu. Because it is the most authentic Taoism, this Kung Fu can be practiced regardless of gender, fat or thin, sick or disabled, regardless of whether it is indoor or outdoor. .

Young people practice it to increase intelligence and strength, elders practice it to live longer, healthy people practice it to increase Qi and strength, and sick people practice it to eliminate diseases and root causes.

There is no deviation, and there is no worry of going crazy.

"Vajra Kung Fu" refers to yang, rigidity, exterior, appearance, separation, fire, dryness, body, acquired nature, and foundation.

"Longevity Gong" is yin, soft, inner, hidden, ridge, water, kun, god, innate, and superior.

Combination of internal and external, rigidity and softness, combination of heaven and earth, combination of hurdles and distances, combination of innate qi and acquired viscera, five grains, hydration and subtle qi, although it is the most basic, it is also the most orthodox method. The combination of the two can exert great effects Power, that's hard to say.

Some people strengthen their bodies, while others become immortals.

Even Zhang Zhixiang himself has only practiced these two kinds of exercises. The old celestial master never taught him the internal practice of the golden light mantra. He just comprehended the golden light by himself. This "Eight Parts of King Kong Longevity Kung Fu".

Just as Master Dao unreservedly passed on the experience of the exercises to the world, Zhang Zhixiang also made the exercises public today.

Mr. Yangming said that traffickers and pawns, and those who lead cars and sell oats, should also clean up their spirits and be a hero who makes their own decisions.

People should not only develop conscience, but also have independent thinking.

It is even more necessary to practice.

Body and mind are mutual. A bad mood will affect the body, and a bad health will also affect the mind. If you are weak all day long, how can you talk about being strong-willed?Although there are always exceptions, they are a minority after all.

A disabled body and a strong mind are also disabled, not sick, let alone weak.

thus.

Zhang Zhixiang is willing to carry on the behest of Master Dao, spread the Tao and spread the Dharma, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can practice skills and hope for a long life.Although it is impossible to obtain the Tao, it can be free from disease and disaster, and support the rest of the world.

The ancients are no better than the later generations.

The ancients suffered from having nothing to practice, while the later generations were unwilling to stretch out their hands when the avenue was brought to them.

I always feel that this is a superstition, or that it is no different from radio gymnastics, or that I am healthy, but really as long as you practice for a hundred days, you will know that you are not healthy.

Pathology comes from the outside to the inside. Sometimes the sickness does not break out, but it does not mean that it does not exist.

Only after you have really practiced the exercises can you realize how cold your spleen and stomach are, how damp your qi is, how stagnant your liver qi is, how deficient your kidney qi is, how deficient your lung qi is, and how unstable your heart qi is.

"Early King Kong, late longevity, walk more under the moonlight."

"Correct."

"Walking alone, two people at most, you have to be quiet, and you can gain something by being quiet. Look at the foxes in the mountains and the fish in the water, they all breathe towards the moon at night."

From the great to the simple, Zhang Zhixiang talked about the main points of the exercises without reservation.

Some people wrote hard, transcribing all he said, some people practiced with Zhang Zhixiang, over and over again, and countless people were willing to persevere just for one person to be free from illness and disaster.

People are so sincere that Zhang Zhixiang is in a trance and realizes something.

Yes, the system is an external force no matter what, just like the experience of Dao Ye. Prescriptions, acupuncture, and massage are all treatments of external forces, and they are all used to cure diseases.

And only by practicing internally can one not get sick.

No matter how well planned any system is, if people's awareness does not keep up, that system will only collapse. Therefore, it is not only the problem of the system, but also the problem of everyone who really escapes the cycle of history and achieves the longevity of civilization. .

Mr. Yangming's teachings of reaching conscience and the way of a sage are all medicines for this disease.

Human self-cultivation.

Not only the spirit of thought, but also everyone's pursuit of longevity, which is a pursuit of life, the pursuit of light and beauty, people must love themselves to love others, love themselves must respect the soul rather than the soul, because the soul is born Looking forward to death, everyone's true self-love, that is the internal motivation of "the world is for the public".

Is morality just a person's conduct?

No, it is not.

Morality should be super-dimensional spiritual power.Dao and virtue have always been one, the way of the road is also, the world is public, everyone has virtue, and everyone can live forever...

So, after Zhang Zhixiang finished teaching the exercises, he began to teach the relationship between personal practice and society.

Explain what is backlight!

"What is Huiguang? Longevity is not one's own selfishness, but the public of the world!"

"The "Huang Di Nei Jing" says that there are four grades of high-level people, real people, perfect people, sages, and sages."

"A true person: hold the heaven and the earth, grasp the yin and yang, breathe out the essence, guard the spirit independently, have the same muscles, so they can live to the sky and the earth, there is no end, this is the way of life."

"Perfect person: pure virtue and complete way, harmonious in yin and yang, adjusted to the four seasons, departing from customs, accumulating energy and whole mind, parading between heaven and earth, seeing and hearing, this is to benefit their life span and the strong are also To the real people."

"A sage: living in harmony with the heaven and the earth, following the principles of the eight winds, being comfortable with the secular world, having no hatred and hatred. Do not want to leave the world, be obeyed, do not want to look at the vulgar, and do not work outside. In matters, there is no trouble in thinking, taking comfort as the work, taking self-satisfaction as the work, the body is not worn down, and the spirit is not scattered, it can also be counted in hundreds."

"Sages: follow the heaven and the earth, resemble the sun and the moon, distinguish the stars, follow the yin and yang, distinguish the four seasons, will be in harmony with the Tao from ancient times, and can also prolong life and have an extreme time."

"I'm looking for longevity, but I don't necessarily want to prove the real person."

"Sages, try it too!"

"If you don't stop day and night, practice diligently and practice yourself, you will be free from disease and disaster, and enjoy a long life. What is a life? A hundred and 20 years old."

"The lifespan of an ordinary person is only half a hundred."

"Compared with years, isn't it longevity?"
