Why is it difficult for us modern people to reach the realm of transcendental practice? Some people are obsessed with health and fitness, pay great attention to their health, strictly control their diet, go in and out of major gyms, or learn some so-called health knowledge.
Supplementing qi and blood every day seems to have some research on food, but in the end it is found that it is still riddled with diseases and listless. As we said before, everyone's physical condition is different Someone else is holding a medlar thermos cup, but you may not be suitable. After a long time, you will find that you are actually running counter to it.
Others pay attention to spiritual cultivation, or have their own beliefs, practice diligently every day, and have good eyes, but they are still pale and haggard, and their spirits are not good. In the end, they can't escape the pain of the disease. Why is this?
Because self-cultivation can be "full" and "holy", when you only travel on one road, people's physical and mental balance will be seriously broken. Over time, when this balance reaches zero, the whole person's body and mind will collapse and show up physically, and serious health problems will appear. At that time, your faith may not support the whole soul.
So we often hear the saying that "a good life won't last long". From the perspective of Buddhism, it is caused by karma and karma. However, as we said, the human body is rare. Why not make your body strong in a limited life? With a strong body, you can give your mind a complete container, and all your good knowledge can be stored in one place, so that you can better spread your good thoughts and benefit others.
As we said before, one stage of the Yellow Emperor's life is "long and sensitive". The life of the Yellow Emperor is actually an instruction and reference given to us by truly enlightened people. We should compare them from time to time to see where we are, such as whether we are in a "sensitive" state, that is, our bodies are solid and powerful, our minds are transparent and agile, and we are indispensable.
The ancients paid great attention to their bodies. They often say that "the parents of the body are influenced by the skin", even if their hair can't be cut off, how much they cherish their "individuals". With the bearing of the body, we can practice the soul wholeheartedly and spread the road. And if anything goes wrong with either party, it will affect your health.
Now some people are strong and full of yang. They don't think about mental problems without tasting human sufferings, so they are willful and do many bad things instead. And some people like to study metaphysics and yearn for the soul world, but their bodies are "broken". Imagine if they look embarrassed, pale and decadent, and their lives are in a mess, how can they affect others?
When we look at the ancient gods, they are all long-lived and sensitive. Only introspection can enlighten the world. Buddha said that crossing oneself and crossing others by oneself means doing your own thing well before you have enough strength to educate others. This is the power of "harmony between man and nature".
So I don't know if I'm full, and I'm afraid of sad things from time to time, let alone healthy and long life.
Fast, that is, refreshing, refers to excessive indulgence and venting one's desires in pursuit of temporary pleasure. The endless desire for the opposite sex is the cancer of this impetuous world. For the sake of temporary indulgence and refreshing, "seven times a night" vented without a bottom line, which moved his mind and revealed all the essence of his body savings.
Some people have worked hard physically and mentally, but once they indulge, they fall short, even if they make up for it again, it will not help. It's not easy to practice, but it's quick and wasteful for a while. The Buddha said that there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness, and beauty is impermanent. The obsession with beauty can make people deviate from their true feelings. If you go deep into your heart, what you see will not attract you. All laws are the same, so it can be seen that returning to the inner world is the way that human beings should go.
Contrary to the joy of life, there are no festivals in daily life, so half a hundred will fail. People don't conform to the laws of nature, so 50% fail. The word "inverse" well explains the chaos in today's society. As we said before, social laws are different from the laws of the universe. Most of our energy is in the framework of society, but we forget that people can't exist without the natural universe.
As soon as our child was born, we began to think about how to make him stand in society in the future, expecting him to have a good job, earn enough money and live the life he wanted. This is the universal value of the people.
We have taught them to compete and express themselves since childhood; We will buy a lot of nutrients for our children, including milk and eggs, which are essential every day. ...
However, we forget that every child is destined to be different from birth, and will not get the same results because of the same efforts, nor will they get the same health because of the same diet structure. They don't respect individual differences and don't know how to "teach students in accordance with their aptitude" and "eat according to their physique", which is a kind of "rebellion" in itself.
In distant ancient times, Qi Bo summed up all our doubts with this sentence, which hit the nail on the head for us modern people. From avenue to simplicity, all truth should be found in the simplest way. There is "Tao" in the question and answer of Huangdi Neijing. Why should we seek the far from the near?
