Can you live forever

Chapter 68 The Great Way Benefiting the People

Is it difficult to ask for help?not difficult.

Since the Liu and Song Dynasties, when Emperor Song Ming supported Lu Xiujing to edit the "Three Cave Classics", there has been a systematic arrangement of Taoism and Taoism in the world.

During the Kaiyuan period, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the search for Taoist scriptures all over the world, and compiled them into "All Taoist Scriptures", namely "Kaiyuan Daozang", which included a total of 5300 volumes of Taoist scriptures. Since then, officials of all dynasties have attached great importance to the compilation of Taoist scriptures.

Hmm... big clear.

During Song Zhenzong’s time, he edited “Da Song Tiangong Treasure”, a total of 5481 volumes; during Jin Zhangzong’s time, he compiled “Great Jin Xuandu Treasure”, a total of 6455 volumes; during Yuan Taizong’s time, he compiled “Great Yuan Xuandu Treasure”, a total of more than 7800 volumes .

In the 17th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Daoist Canon was extensively repaired. In the 20th year of Yongle, the compilation was completed, with a total of 5305 volumes.In the 35th year of Wanli, the "Continuation" was revised, adding 180 volumes.

The "Zhonghua Daozang" of later generations was compiled based on "Orthodox Daozang".

It can be said that what you want to learn is all in "Tao Cang", and since "The Treasure of the Heavenly Palace of the Song Dynasty", it has always been published, and the general public can buy it.

But the problem is that there are 5305 volumes in "Orthodox Dao Zang", and there are 12 scripture boards for printing...

For Daozang, there are only four words that can describe it—vast and vast. (There are 9000 million characters in the Zhonghua Dao Collection)
Not to mention that ordinary people can't figure it out, and practitioners seldom finish reading Dao Zang. It is absolutely impossible for laymen to find a broad road from Dao Zang.

Experts... basically don't have this idea.

For example, Patriarch Sanfeng and Lao Tianshi, they can do it naturally if they want to do it, but it takes a lot of time and effort, and there is no benefit to doing it. It is difficult for ordinary people to live in peace, how to seek longevity?
Just as the premise of building a foundation in a hundred days is ten years of recuperation, practice has never been a simple and safe thing. On the contrary, the consequences of repairing are extremely serious.

Therefore, they have never spent this thought on teaching ordinary people to practice Taoism.

From their point of view, in terms of practice, it is still the safest and most efficient way to accept apprentices and teach them by precept and example.

But, times change.

The old heavenly masters and the others would never have imagined that there would be a day when there would be a day of materialism and entertainment to death in the future. In that lost era, Master Zhang Zhishun abandoned the views of sects and searched for the purpose of ordinary people being able to practice better. Daozang "excerpted" a book "The Origin of Qi Ti", just to save others from decades of searching.

Annotate sentence by sentence, and publish what you have learned and realized in your life without reservation to the world.

Just for the people who are struggling in the secular quagmire, there are a few who are willing to get out of the mud without being stained, and can find a way. If you don’t believe this, you can practice the Babu Vajra Kung Fu at any rate, and it can be regarded as radio gymnastics to strengthen your body ...

"The Origin of Qi Ti" was compiled with the heart of Purdue sincerity and kindness.

From the perspective of ordinary people, Zhang Daochang pointed out a broad road to his best. Therefore, Mr. Yangming said that he could not change a word, even the old Tianshi and Sanfeng Patriarch would not delete it.Because it couldn't be better.

"Sir, you said that when I petitioned, would anyone come to listen to the lecture on "The Origin of the Body?"

Seeing that Mr. Yangming approved the book, Zhang Zhixiang asked a thought in his mind. The sit-in is a demonstration for petition, but time should not be wasted because of it.

While sitting still, you should also study.

Wang Yangming touched Zhang Zhixiang's head kindly, and said: "Someone will come to listen, even Taoist priests who have practiced well. Be a teacher."

"Cultivation is about wealth and companionship, but ordinary people don't have this fate."

"However, the heart of practice and the yearning for longevity are inherent in all living beings. The old man said: The way of a sage is self-sufficient in my nature."

"If you don't teach it, how will you know whether ordinary people can ask for longevity?"

"The ancestors practiced great power, based on the thought of doing nothing, and believed that there is a way hidden there, and those who are destined will find it, but if we don't promote the way, if we don't lead people to be good, when will all living beings be enlightened?"

"If sentient beings are not enlightened, when will the Dao be possible?"

"Heaven, earth and man are one, so is practice and governing the country. Relying on a certain system, a certain group of people go to create peace, even if they succeed, it is only temporary. Only when all beings are awakened, everyone can clean up their spirits and do their own thing. The great hero who advocates, at that time, there is no need for anyone to open peace, and the world will be peaceful."

Wang Yangming said with some earnestness, there are many people in the world who believe in his theory, but how many people really understand it?Today, he already knows his own limit, but he has not seen anyone who can inherit the mantle.

It wasn't until Zhang Zhixiang appeared that he saw hope and felt that he was not alone in his way.

"gentlemen……"

Zhang Zhixiang could feel Wang Yangming's loneliness and worry, Wang Yangming smiled, changed the subject, asked the little novice to fetch the piano, and said with a smile: "Heaven, earth and man are one, there must be some evidence and application."

"Do you know the source of the five tones and twelve rhythms?"

"Haha, that's right, that's exactly the case. The melody reaches the sky. The Palace of Yellow Bells is the foundation of the law and the foundation of all things. All the weights and measures we use are adjusted according to the Yellow Bell."

"You may not have an intuitive feeling when you say this, but you can understand it after listening to the music."

"Gongshangjiao Zhengyu, Jiaodiao is called Chunyin, which belongs to wood, governs life, and is the general of the five internal organs-the liver. Zhengjiao tune can promote the rise, development and expansion of Qi in the body, soothe the liver and regulate Qi, help The function of nourishing the stomach..."

While talking, Wang Yangming started to play.

With the sound of the zither, Zhang Zhixiang felt a kind of soft and loose power in his body. The anger he had been suffocated by seeing those people's actions in recent days unknowingly dissipated, and the whole person felt extremely peaceful...

……

The fourth uncle did not stop the sit-in petition, nor did Mr. Yang Ming, so Zhang Zhixiang naturally would not hesitate any more.

After listening to the piano, Zhang Zhixiang became more and more calm.

When he went out the next day, even Wang Jiangque couldn't help but look at him a few more times. How can I say that although he was calm a few days ago, he could actually feel Zhang Zhixiang's mental tension. It was a kind of calmness in the face of the enemy. .

As for Zhang Zhixiang now, he can't see that he is going to do something big, as if he is peaceful like going out for a spring outing.

"The news has been passed on, but will anyone respond to the call?"

Yiqiong was a little skeptical, after all, Chengtian Gate was the main gate of the imperial city, and the Qianbu Street facing it was lined with six yamen.

"We're going to West Chang'an Street soon. The young master told everyone to wait there. You should be able to find out later, right?"

Yu Shui thinks it's okay. After all, everyone has been cheated of so much money. At this time, with the help of the young master, they don't stand up. Are they going to ask for money?
Wang Jiangque was not concerned about the number of people.

She said: "There are fewer people, there is not much difference. It is fine to sit in meditation today, but naturally more people will participate tomorrow. The problem is that you may not be able to reach Chengtianmen."

"On weekdays, the guards at the Right Chang'an Gate don't stop people."

"I'm afraid it will be different today."
