In my life, many people have asked these questions countless times. A person who has been a doctor for decades, if he doesn't have the arms of a religious family, sometimes he really hates himself for "why he didn't learn spring ploughing at that time" and is too lazy to talk about pathology; At the same time, people who hate medical treatment are stubborn and refuse to cooperate. Although I am not a doctor, I really lack patience to answer these puzzling mental diseases in detail. Sometimes people ask these questions, and I will say, "When will you really see the immortal people in the world?" ? Not to mention others: some people have lived for hundreds of years, and Guang and Xu Shu are still living on Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng. Absolutely no one dares to invite immortals to meet people in person. Secondly, I want to ask: do you think meditation is monasticism? What is Tao? How to fix it? Why do you still sit still while practicing monasticism? Almost ten people have five pairs of answers, all for "eliminating diseases and prolonging life" and "eliminating disasters and prolonging life". When it comes to meditation and monasticism, most people want to know the methods of meditation and how to get through the second pulse of Ren Du and the eighth pulse of Qi Jing, or the three classics and seven rounds of Tantric Buddhism. However, they all forgot the highest truth-philosophical theoretical basis-of cultivating Buddha and becoming immortal and sitting quietly to get through the second pulse of Ren Du. Because a person practices monasticism for his own immortality, this is an extreme manifestation of human selfishness. If it is Guo Tao who opens the physical pulse, then this Tao is the crystallization of materialism after all. Tao, is it a heart or a thing? Most people refuse to go here for further study.
So, is it impossible for human beings to live forever? Otherwise! Otherwise! To solve this problem, we must first understand two different contents:
(1) The so-called longevity is an extension of "eliminating diseases and prolonging life". A person knows a lot of knowledge necessary for health preservation, so that he can live happily and painlessly when he is alive. In case he dies, he will die happily, without disturbing himself or dragging others down. This is the hardest happiness in life.
(2) The so-called immortality refers not to the eternity of physical life, but to the eternity of spiritual life. But what is the so-called spiritual life here? Its ontology is a primitive life that exists independently outside the mind and things; Its function and phenomenon are the existing state of life consciousness and psychology. As for mental state, what is it? That's another very troublesome and complicated problem, which will be discussed later. In fact, the so-called cultivation since ancient times, even the highest requirement of any religion, is to find this thing and return to this realm. It is only because of the differences in cultural systems and regional languages that its meaning is expressed in various ways.
So, can Tao be completely repaired? Is it really possible to "get rid of illness and prolong life" and "live forever"? As far as I know, I can boldly say that there is a way to fix it, and it is possible to "live forever." But it must be understood that this is, after all, a personal achievement, not a cause that will benefit people after China's entry into WTO. If you ask for all kinds of satisfaction in real life, but at the same time you want to live forever, it is futile for you to ask for it. There is a story in "Talking about Orchid": A famous public official and high official heard that there was a monk who lived for more than 200 years and was still very young, so he asked him for the tips of monasticism. The Taoist said, "I have never been close to a woman in my life." Hearing this, the giant said, "What's the point? Why should I practice Buddhism? " In fact, in addition to the relationship between men and women, some desires in real life are better than those between men and women, and there are more and more. At the same time, we should understand that "longevity" is the greatest desire in life, and of course it is also the biggest reason to hinder monasticism. In this world, if a person wants to learn a certain specialty, he must give up other aspects of development, not to mention reaching a realm beyond ordinary people. Taoist Yin Fu Jing said: "Never benefit from one source, but use it ten times as much as a teacher.
