Tian Chengyang's self-report

The young servant mu fengchen, the young man entered the Tao. I admire the Dan Sutra of my ancestors, and I am addicted to the science of cultivation. I have been working hard for nine years now, looking for teachers to learn Taoism, collecting Dan books and studying tirelessly, but I still have some gains from Taoism. The way of double cultivation of husband and life is a unique stunt of the unity of man and nature. From the beginning, it begins with stillness, and then it turns on and off, connecting with the whole body, so that people can feel the same with nature, become one with nature, seize nature, and all achievements are in nature, but they return to the road of inaction. Its method is easy to simplify, its reason is easy to understand, but it is not personal understanding, I don't know whether it is warm or cold. Therefore, it is necessary to explore and confirm the interior decoration. Looking at all kinds of Dan Jing has always been a centralized statement, which makes people feel that there is no way to obtain evidence, and even flinch like others. This "word is not shallow" is also a shortcoming. Servants are insensitive and dare not be selfish. Today, I have extracted 18 interior scenes of true cultivation from my diary of enlightenment for several years, simplified them by deleting the complex, extracted the essence, distinguished the levels of things, made them clear step by step, made them into a series, and made them public, so as to participate in each other's testimony with true cultivation and true enlightenment. Each item is accompanied by a self-description, explaining the different levels inside. The scenery of fixing the truth is natural and wonderful, which can't be described by pen and ink or carved by poetry. Therefore, it is inevitable that words may not be beautiful, and words and expressions are simple and ugly. Readers should not be ill-intentioned, but should know that what they say is what they do, and get carried away.
