Chapter 306

Ye Fan was not angry either, Baby Yang said the truth.

However, he did not say everything.

The main reason why Ye Fan couldn’t become a Taoist priest was because he didn’t have a heart for Taoism.

Others become Taoist priests for the purpose of Transcendent, but he is very utilitarian, just to learn more cool Taoism.

Zhang Daoxuan had long seen that he was not thinking about cultivating the Tao, so he never passed it on to him.

To become a Taoist priest, you must go through two steps.

One is conversion.

The second is transmission.

To take refuge is to take refuge in dependence.

There are three refuges:

First, take refuge in the supreme “Taobao”, that is, take refuge in the “superior infinite Tao”, and you will be able to escape Samsara forever;

Second, take refuge in the supreme “Treasure of Sutra”, that is, take refuge in the “36 Sutras”, and you can hear the Dhamma;

Third, convert to “Supreme Master’s Treasure”, that is, convert to “Master Xuanzhong”, in order to avoid evil views.

After taking refuge, if you want to become a true Taoist priest, you must perform the transmission ceremony.

The patriarch set up teaching and transmission, and there must be the secret of transmission.

“Any cultivator should be passed down under the name of the ancestor, to promote the Tao, to benefit the world, and to convert to practice.”

It’s a pity that even though Ye Fan realized that the Supreme Way of the Supreme Being had no great way, he was familiar with the 36 Sutras, and he respected the Supreme Master as his ancestor.

However, his mood has never changed.

Therefore, Zhang Daoxuan never passed him on.

As a result, when Ye Fan became the 198th generation tianshi of Maoshan, his devotion to Taoism couldn’t even keep up with the laymen who believed in Taoism!

However, this time when Ye Fan came back down the mountain, his confidence has changed a lot.

When he came back this time, he was not only looking for the Master, but also wanted the Master to complete a major event in his life-transmission!

In fact, he had already felt that Zhang Daoxuan was in the Taoist temple.

The reason why I just didn’t enter is precisely because my heart is struggling with this matter of transmission.

Once you become a Taoist priest, you must abide by the Taoist rules, and respect the patriarch as the ancestor!

Many things you want to do will be restricted.

However, Maoshan raised him after all.

After all, Zhang Daoxuan was the life mentor who led him on this path.

Even if it is for Maoshan’s continuous incense, even if it is to repay the Master’s preaching and teaching karma, he must become a Taoist priest.

In the end, Ye Fan walked into the Taoist temple with serious concerns.

“Ye Fan, my disciple! You are finally back!”

After hearing this voice, Ye Fan couldn’t help it anymore, his legs bent, and he knelt straight outside the main hall door.

“Master! The disciple is not filial, so you suffer!”

“Come in! Time is running out as a teacher!”

“Yes! Master!”

Ye Fan got up and walked slowly into the Great Hall.

I saw a familiar figure sitting cross-legged with his back to the door.

Unlike the stalwart back figure in the past, this time, Ye Fan saw the back figure full of vicissitudes.

Ye Fan just wanted to lean over, but was stopped by Zhang Daoxuan.

“Ye Fan! Don’t get close to being a teacher!”

“Being a teacher is no longer human!”

“If you get too close, it will have a bad influence on you!”

Ye Fan choked and said, “Master! Tu’er is no longer what it used to be and will not be affected!”

“Hey!” Zhang Daoxuan sighed for a long time: “As the teacher knows, you can stand alone now!”

“It’s not in vain to teach you what your teacher taught you!”

“It’s just that the inheritance of my Maoshan will be broken in the hands of Zhang Daoxuan!”

“I am ashamed of the past celestial masters and ashamed of the patriarch!”

Ye Fan said quickly: “Master! As long as the disciple is still there, he will definitely not break the inheritance of Maoshan!”

“Ye Fan! I know what you want as a teacher!”

“But, you really are not the material to be a Taoist priest!”

“thump!”

Ye Fan knelt down facing Zhang Daoxuan’s back, and asked with tears, “Master! Are you trying to drive the disciple away?”

“Ye Fan, I watched you grow up as a teacher, and you understand your mind well as a teacher!”

“You act eclectic and don’t want to be bound by Taoist precepts!”

“Forcing you to become a Taoist priest is unfair to you!”

Ye Fan quickly promised: “Master! The disciple promised that after becoming a Taoist priest, he will abide by the Qing rules and precepts, and ensure that my Maoshan is orthodox!”

Zhang Daoxuan shook his head and said, “Ye Fan! Being a teacher doesn’t care if Maoshan is orthodox enough!”

“Being a teacher just doesn’t want to tie you into the dogma of Taoism!”

“You are not a bird in a cage, you should have a broader world!”

“But…” Ye Fan just wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Zhang Daoxuan.



“The inheritance of Maoshan has never been an important thing!”

“Everything and everything has its own law of development, it’s cloudy and sunny, Heavenly Dao Samsara, no one can stop it!”

“My generation is cultivating the Tao, for the morality in my heart!”

“Not for fame and fortune!”

“The absence of Maoshan does not mean that morality and justice will be destroyed!”

“Our Patriarch never stipulated that Taoism must be practiced in Taoism!”

“There is a way in my heart, Maoshan is everywhere!”

Ye Fan looked at Zhang Daoxuan’s back and couldn’t speak for a long time.

He didn’t expect that the Master’s thoughts had reached such a height.

There is Tao in your heart, Tao is everywhere!

Maoshan has never been a proof of identity, but a place for cultivation.

Taoism is universal, not universal.

Should not be restricted by the venue!

Tao, originally the law followed by nature, pays attention to following nature and conforming to the heart.

However, later generations continued to increase various restrictions on Taoism during its development.

Even becoming a Taoist priest must go through a rigorous screening process.

From the very beginning, this has violated the original intent of “Tao”.

“Tao” is never something only Taoists can practice!

“Tao” should be the way of the world, the way of all people!

Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, thundering and raining, eating and drinking Lhasa are the way…

Everything is right!

Suddenly, Ye Fan heard the sound of a great road in his mind.

“Dao can be Tao, very Tao; name can be named, very famous. Nameless, the beginning of the heavens and the earth, the name, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire, to observe the beauty, often there is desire, to observe the behavior. The two are the same They come from different names, the same is called Xuan, Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonderful.”

He had read this passage countless times, thinking that he was completely insightful.

But when he heard this voice in his mind again.

Ye Fan realized that his previous interpretation was just wishful thinking.

“Tao” is never complicated, “Tao” never needs to be interpreted, it is by our side!

You can even reach out and touch to get its existence!

Before I had pity for him, he had been thinking day and night about what is “Tao”.

I always feel that only by elevating the ‘Tao’ to an unparalleled position can the status of the ‘Tao’ be manifested!

Until this moment, he did not know that he was wrong, very wrong!

At this moment, Zhang Daoxuan slowly said: “Ye Fan! You understand it!”

Ye Fan banged his head three times at Zhang Daoxuan, and said gratefully: “Thank you Master for preaching!”
