Huang Ting Xiandao

Chapter 21 21. The Sutra Library, Discussing Taoism and Buddhism

Mo Xian has been in the scripture building for more than ten days. He and two senior brothers are in charge of the first floor. Outer disciples can only borrow books and read materials on the first floor.

There are not many outer disciples who come to borrow books and read classics. Most of the time, there are no people. There is no need to enter the scripture building for disciples to get started. , Moreover, the disciples who are just getting started, unless there are special circumstances, only have some fitness methods.

The real teaching can only be taught after the first year of chopping firewood and carrying water and other tasks, so as to enter the practice.Mo Xian did not enter the mountain gate by normal means, and he was not taught at all. However, there are literacy and other education for new disciples. Many disciples, when they first entered the mountain gate, did not know how to read, let alone read .

Mo Xian had undergone harsh killer training since he was a child, and he learned Chinese characters at that time, so he did not receive tutoring.

After literacy, most people only read some Taoist classics, such as "Tao Te Ching", "Nan Hua Jing", "Chongxu Jing" and so on, and would not come to the Sutra Library at all.

Therefore, although Mo Xian was on the first floor, he cleaned it once a day. Since there were three people, he finished cleaning it quickly. In the following time, one person was usually left on duty, and the other two hid in the library.

The Taoist mainly focused on cultivation, and the other two did not turn over the books at all, they just meditated in the scripture building. When Mo Xian entered it for the first time, he saw all kinds of books, and his heart moved. He practiced as green as a word. He has just set foot on the road of practice, and knows very little about practice. Now that there are so many books in front of him, he guesses what Qian Xuzi means, and he probably wants him to increase his knowledge.

He read them one by one. The books were divided into three caves, four supplements and twelve branches. He also included several Buddhist scriptures and some miscellaneous books.

The Three Caves are Dongzhen, Dongxuan and Dongshen, the Four Supplements are Taiqing, Taiping, Taixuan and Zhengyi, and the Twelve Branches are the Three Caves. Authentic texts; talismans: the scripts of dragons, chapters and phoenix seal scripts, and characters of miraculous talisman scripts; jade formulas: annotations and sparse meanings of Taoist scriptures; spiritual diagrams: illustrations of this text or works mainly based on images; spectrum Records: Daoist scriptures that record the deeds and merits of Gaozhen Shangsheng; precepts: precepts, scriptures and merits and demerits; prestige: fasting methods, rituals, and Taoist rituals ;Methods: Books discussing various methods such as cultivating the truth and setting up altars for sacrifice; Zhongshu: Waidan furnace fire, five-element changes, and all kinds of spells; biography: biographies of immortals, inscriptions and mountain dunes Chronicles of Taoist temples; eulogies: works praising and advocating, such as Buxu Ci, Praising Lingzhang, Zhuzhenbao, etc.; Zhangbiao: Zhangzhao and Qingci, etc., presented to the Emperor of Heaven when building a Zhai and setting up a sacrificial offering.

These books opened Mo Xian's horizons, and he read them hungrily. Only then did he know that there were multiple versions of the "Huang Ting Jing" he had compiled, including "Inner Scenery", "External Scenery", "Middle Scenery" and "Middle Scenery". Internal Scenes of Huangting’s Viscera and Six Bowels to Replenish and Discharge Diagrams, Huangting’s Sutra of Dunning Jiayuan and Body, Shangqing’s Huangting’s Nourishing Nerves, Taiqing’s Zhonghuangzhenjing, Notes on Chanting Huangting’s Sutra, Comments on Huangting’s Jingjing in Taiqing, etc. , there were many ambiguities in the middle, and he realized that the "Huang Ting Ji Zhu" he got was a real treasure book of practice.

But those are not useless. The book "Huang Ting Jing" has derived various cultivation methods, and even the golden elixir Dafa. Using the content of "Huang Ting Jing" as an example, it is also explained clearly and logically.

Mo Xian vaguely realized that the methods are different, but the Dao leads by different routes, and in the end they all want to reach the peak of the Dao.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Mo Xian was still reading when a voice came from the door.

"Meet the elder."

Mo Xian hurriedly put down the book in his hand, while the other person was meditating, exercising his spirit, but hadn't entered a deep level of samadhi. When he heard the sound, he hurriedly got up, and didn't even bother to finish his work.

Qian Xuzi had already walked in, and the two hurriedly went up to meet him.

Qian Xuzi looked around. In fact, he had already looked around with his spiritual sense when he entered the Sutra Library. He was an elder who taught the Dharma, and wanted to see what a few people were doing.

He already knew what the two of them were doing just now, he smiled slightly: "Mo Xian, tell me what you have gained?"

"The junior read some books before he realized that there are so many real Taoism." Mo Xian replied in a well-behaved manner.

"You're pretty good, Dao Jizhu."

"When the younger generation entered the sect, they had already cultivated the Huangting Avenue and had some foundation."

"The sect does not force you to practice the way of the golden core. There are [-] Taoist schools, and every school has a positive result."

"Uncle, why do most of our sect practice the Golden Core Dao?" Qiu Sheng asked next to him. Yu Xianzong didn't have a golden core or a similar level, so he couldn't be numbered. How many people have this honor?
"Because my patriarch Dan Yangzi practiced the golden alchemy way. You practiced the dragon and tiger alchemy method, and you used the method of borrowing the power of heaven and earth. This kind of alchemy method is the mainstream in the practice world, so practice hard."

There are two types of dragon and tiger alchemy, one is internal refining and the other is external refining. Among them, external refining is the mainstream. After the foundation is established, the earth is collected first, and then the sky is fused. The external sky and earth are the dragon and the tiger. Once they meet, Generating golden soup and jade liquid, and then using the true meaning as a medium, the golden elixir is achieved.

Once this kind of alchemy enters the Earth Sha, its combat power will be revealed. It is much stronger than the inner alchemy dragon and tiger alchemy. However, the durability is not as good as that of inner alchemy. Usually it is only three quarters of inner alchemy. After entering the golden alchemy , The internal refining method gradually caught up with the external refining method.

Internal practitioners, after building the foundation, use themselves as the foundation to open up 72 points of Disha and 36 points of Ningtiangang, a total of 360 points. There have been practitioners who practiced [-] points and completed the Great Zhoutian. At one hundred and eight points, the dragon and the tiger begin to converge to produce golden soup and jade liquid.

After all, practitioners are human beings, and lifespan is a big issue. After the foundation is established, the lifespan will be 150 to [-] years old, and the life span will be [-]% and [-] years old.

Jindan is a kind of Dafa, which is basically divided into three categories, Qingjing Danfa, Yinyang Danfa and Dragon and Tiger Pill. Qingjing Danfa requires high understanding, and Yinyang Pill method is easy to flow into evil ways, so Dragon and Tiger Pill method has become The mainstream, the steps are clear, Qi training, foundation building, Disha, Tiangang, Dragon and Tiger Convergence, Golden Elixir, etc., followed by cultivating Yuanshen, Yuanying, Huashen, and then returning to the emptiness and harmony, the world's law is all here.

Achievement of golden elixir is a god, with a lifespan of [-] years, and there will be no mystery in the next birth. When reaching a certain age, one will recall the experience of the previous life.

"Uncle, how about the way of Huang Ting practiced by Junior Brother Mo Xian?"

"The way of Huang Ting is also a great method. Don't take the golden elixir, but keep thinking and contemplating inwardly. The spirit will appear all over the body, and the holy fetus will be born. It is not weaker than the golden elixir road." Qian Xuzi said.

"Uncle Master, I have heard of Buddhism, but I don't know what it is like?" Mo Xian thought of Hui Ming and Hui Hai, and felt the chaos. He didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend. Ming's Duanmuliang, Huiming might not have recognized him, otherwise, he might have been doomed the last time he was in Zhenghou's mansion.

"Buddhism is said to be [-] schools, but it is an exaggeration. It is divided into the Hinayana, Mahayana and Secret Vehicle. There are many practices, and the Zen method is the most important. It is divided into Tathagata Chan, Patriarch Chan, and Secret Chan." Qian Xuzi thought about it here. Thinking about it, he added: "There is also a Pure Land sect of Chanting Buddha."

"What are the characteristics of various Zen methods?" Mo Xian asked. He really wanted to know about Buddhist practice. After all, there might be enemies of Buddhism. Qiu Sheng and Hu Dan were also very interested. The first floor of the Buddhist scriptures building.

"The Tathagata Zen is the Zen of the three studies and the six perfections. It starts with Anaba, absorbs the six sense organs, and then re-breathes. The center of gravity method, its purpose is to clarify the mind and see the nature; the secret Zen uses the six major four mantras and three secrets as the body, and it is more important than the form method, and its purpose is to become a Buddha in the body; the Buddha-chanting Zen is mainly to recite the Buddha's name and visualize It is a fast and convenient way of Zen, and it has great influence in the secular world." Qianxuzi hesitated for a moment, "Secret Zen is quite controversial. Even some Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhist sects do not recognize Esoteric Buddhism.”

"What is three studies and six degrees?" Mo Xian asked again.

"The Three Learnings, also known as the Three Learnings without Omissions, is the general outline of the practice of all Buddhists, and they can obtain the ultimate liberation in accordance with the order of the Three Learnings. Although the content is only three words, it includes the limitless practice of Buddhism. The three non-leaking studies are 'precepts, samadhis, and wisdom'. Six degrees, Sanskrit is Paramita or Paramita, which means to reach the other shore. Six degrees are six ways to reach the other shore, and six degrees are Mahayana The general outline of the practice of the Bodhisattva way, the six perfections are generosity, precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and prajna."

"What is Anban?"

"Anapana, that is, Anapana, is a practice method related to breathing. This is the method learned by Sakyamuni Buddhism, his son Rahula. Sanskrit Anapana, Anapana, breath, Panna Breathing in, Anapana is breathing in and out."

The three outer disciples rarely had this opportunity, took the opportunity to ask for advice, and finally got a general understanding of Buddhism. In Buddhism, form is a tangible substance, and the six sense organs refer to the six sensory organs of a person, or the ability to recognize the surroundings. Including eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.The eye is the root of seeing, the ear is the root of hearing, the nose is the root of smell, the tongue is the root of taste, the body is the root of touch, and the mind is the root of thought.Prajna means wisdom.

However, Qianxuzi doesn't know much about Buddhism. After all, he doesn't practice Buddhism. He only said what he understands. That's all, it also opened the eyes of the three of them. Mo Xian is better, after all, he has read two Buddhist scriptures in the library. , and although Qiu Sheng and Hu Dan were in the scripture library, they hadn't even read two books.

Qian Xuzi was in high spirits today, at the end, he remembered something, and said to the three of them: "Next month, there will be a big competition in the gate, you all are ready."

"Didn't you say there is still half a year?" Qiu Sheng asked.

"It's early, you don't need to ask, I came today just to see if there are any good seedlings." He glanced at Mo Xian, but Mo Xian didn't pay attention, but there was a trace of jealousy in the eyes of Qiu Sheng and Hu Dan.
