How to solve problems when practicing the Tao

Chapter 205 Re-entering Enlightenment
"Leijiang Zhuguo, what is that?" Qin Xiaoying asked Lin Qiye secretly with gestures.

"Thunderberry vermilion fruit is a bit low compared to the treasures of heaven, material and earth. It is recorded in Daoist Canon that the whole body of thunderberry vermilion fruit is red. Eating it can increase the Taoist energy of Jiazi, cleanse tendons and cut marrow. It is a spiritual fruit that people who practice Taoism dream of."

"For you, the Thunder Berry Vermillion Fruit is just to increase the Dao Yuan of Jiazi, so it's not very useful to you, right?"

"You have to know that the dao essence in a cultivator's body has impurities. If the effect of thunder pulp and vermilion fruit is only based on the amount of dao essence, it's not surprising. Those of us really don't care much about this kind of dao essence that we got for nothing. But what is rare is that it contains the 'Dao Yuan' itself, which is the purest. It can save a lot of time to refine the purity of Dao Yuan, and even excrete the Dao Yuan impurities produced in the body due to cultivation. This is the thunder. The rarity of vermilion fruit. At our level, Dao energy is no longer a criterion for measuring personal strength, but "purity" is more important. It can be said that the purer the essence, the more moves you can use in the battle The greater the power." Lin Qiye explained.

"So that's how it is." Qin Xiaoying thought to himself, but he didn't know if he could get a piece of fruit to taste, so that he could teach himself what kind of taste that thunderberry vermillion fruit was.

After a busy day, the cave has returned to calm.

And Lin Qiye stood in the martial arts arena and began to teach Qin Xiaoying.

"Compared to what you were a year ago, you have learned a lot."

"Compared to when you first learned the Tao, you now know more than when you were ignorant."

"But I want to ask you, do you really 'know'?"

"For example, when your own 'Tao' is quiet, have you ever reviewed it with distracting thoughts in your mind, and have correct annotations for your own 'Tao'?" Surprisingly, Lin Qiye did not say The profound Taoism and the perverted extreme moves, but directly asked Qin Xiaoying's true heart.

"Why the Tao?"

"What is your way?"

Qin Xiaoying's eyes sparkled, as if this was the question he had been waiting for, and he said frankly: "When I realized the Tao, there were more accidents than my own understanding, so if you ask me if I know the 'Tao', I don't know."

"But I know that the world is suffering, so I want to free all living beings from this sea of ​​suffering." Qin Xiaoying said.

"Confused, I haven't crossed yet, how can I talk about crossing people? Is it possible to make people aware of it? " Lin Qiye hated iron for steel.

He may look a little unscrupulous at ordinary times, but he always looks at the problem to the point.

"I would like to be taught." Qin Xiaoying said.

"Since you said that Buddhism saves people, let me ask you, have you practiced your own principles?"

"Since all living beings are in the sea of ​​suffering, aren't you one of them? Since you haven't escaped the sea of ​​suffering yourself, how can you talk about saving others from the sea of ​​suffering?"

Lin Qiye's words made Qin Xiaoying break out in a cold sweat.

If you haven't jumped out of the sea of ​​suffering yourself, how can you save others from the sea of ​​suffering?
"Do you think that enlightenment is to emerge from the sea of ​​suffering? Do you think that cultivating the Tao is to emerge from the sea of ​​suffering? Buddhism says that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but you are in it, but you can't control yourself. Just imagine how the power of one person can overwhelm the river and the sea?"

"You told me the truth of Buddhism, but I want to tell you the truth of family."

"That's quiet, inaction!"

"?" Qin Xiaoying was puzzled. Doesn't this quietness and inaction make him too forgetful?
Seeing Qin Xiaoying's confusion, Lin Qiye gave an example: "The interference of external forces will change things themselves. For example, a stone on the ground, you put it in the middle of the road, no one moves it, according to its own laws , but it will become smaller dust in a few years." Lin Qiye looked at Qin Xiaoying's ecstasy, and smiled slightly, "But the coachman pushed the stone to the side of the road with the carriage, and was picked up by the urchins in the village. I went to fetch water and knocked over the washtub of a village woman on the bank. A stone in the middle of the road was harmless, but because it was artificially moved a position, what it did changed. Then You can't predict the consequences of your current behavior, whether it is good or bad, whether it will have a positive impact or a negative impact, so we Taoists talk about inaction."

Qin Xiaoying shook his head: "For example, if someone commits a robbery on the road, and someone picks up a stone to defend himself and save others, isn't this stone also doing good deeds?"

"Counterexamples abound, but how can you be sure whether the stone was finally picked up by a bad person or a good person?" Lin Qiye asked Qin Xiaoying's rebuttal without getting annoyed.

"This..." Qin Xiaoying was at a loss for words.

"If it were me, I would say that the high probability of taking stones is a bad person, and the high probability of not taking stones is a good person."

"Well, why do you say that?" Qin Xiaoying said.

"Because who is free to take a roadside stone to do bad things?" Lin Qiye laughed. "So you see, this is the truth of us Taoists."

Qin Xiaoying was a little dissatisfied, "Then if someone does something bad, do you save him or not? When someone is drowning, do you save him or not? How do you know if you are going to save someone or not? Is the saved person a good person or a bad person? Isn’t this also a result theory?”

"So, in fact, we have an easier way to judge." Lin Qiye smiled.

"any solution?"

"According to the weather, any place, because of people's hearts."

"There are some things you need to do, and some things you have to do. Your heart tells you that you can do it, so doing nothing can become 'do nothing', 'the Tao is always doing nothing, and there is nothing you can do'."

"???" Qin Xiaoying was almost confused. "How can doing nothing become doing nothing?"

"Actually, it can be changed into two words. That is 'reasonable'. As long as everything is reasonable, why not?"

"Did someone tell you that the people of Kunlun like to change their lives against the sky?"

"Isn't that so?"

"Not quite."

"?"

"Actually, I have a better explanation for this word."

"how to say?"

"All things are empty, and all actions are possible."

"??" Qin Xiaoying became even more confused.

"What does Kunlun keep? The general formula of Taoism. The Taoism of the world is to let us know the original face of this world, and hope that everyone can see it."

"You mean the truth of the world?"

"The world is an illusion. We can choose to follow blindly, or we can choose to go beyond."

"Beyond? How to surpass?"

"The secret of Taoism in the world is not our freedom of action, but to tell us to find the wisdom to coexist with the heaven and the earth. Therefore, defying the sky is not necessarily to change fate, but to find a wisdom and truth."

"But it is inevitable that some people will have desires because of this general formula of Taoism in the world, and they will think that all deeds are acceptable is to indulge their own desires." Qin Xiaoying said.

"So, what I'm talking about is a vague one. After all, you can't do whatever you want, and you are the one who makes the decision. We are the masters of our actions. No matter what kind of glory or sorrow our actions produce, we must Moreover, this is not a clear 'Tao', 'Tao' itself cannot be expressed in words, what I am talking about is only a general appearance, not its final form."

After Qin Xiaoying finished listening, his muscles and bones seemed to enter an illusion of hearing the Tao again.

"So let me ask you, do you really know 'Tao'? What is Tao? What is your Tao?" Lin Qiye asked while the iron was hot.

"I, I don't know." Dao Yuan on Qin Xiaoying's body turned red, and the Buddha Yuan, Dao Yuan, and God Demon Qi were once again entangled.
