After two years of graduation, I returned to my familiar city and began to look for a job. I was introduced to a large department store for an interview, but I felt that the salary given by the manager was too unreliable and was completely suspected of cheating the little girl. I plan to go home for the New Year and plan my work after the New Year. A good friend happened to be engaged in the work of the Taoist Association, and briefly told me about the knowledge of Taoism. I was immediately attracted by the culture handed down by China. It is all-encompassing, profound and profound. With our growth, almost everything around us can find its origin from Taoism. In this way, I began to contact Taoism, began to learn Taoist knowledge, and began to really contact what is called "Tao can be Tao, extraordinary Tao, name can be named, extraordinary name, the beginning of the unknown world, the mother of all things."
? I'm still studying some Taoist knowledge, and I don't know how to describe it with gorgeous words. I believe that sincere language is enough, and there will be real feelings without fabrication.
? After working here for a long time, I found a very ironic phenomenon. Many monks pretend to be laymen and apply to be Taoist priests in order to steal Taoist scriptures and Taoism and change back to be their Buddhists. Some monks rushed the old monk into the hospital in order to become abbots. What is even more speechless is that the monks came to the Taoist temple and asked them to make a blessing ceremony for themselves, because their prayers were all deceptive and useless.
? I didn't believe in Buddhism before, but I also have some respect for this mysterious religion. But now that I'm really involved in religion, I can clearly see that foreign Buddhism has corroded China so badly.
? Why is China's Chinese civilization and culture for thousands of years so despised by modern people that it has reached the point of being spurned? Everyone seems to have only one idea about Taoism, such as "smelly Taoist priest", "fortune telling", "alchemy" and "immortality", but they are not interested in Tao Te Ching, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Yijing and some political and medical classics that Taoism really advocates and develops. What I want to say is, don't believe in foreign religions, or do you really know your own beliefs? I can't convince myself if I study deeply.
? I believe in Guan Shengdi (Guan Gong) of Taoism, and the literary works I have been exposed to since I was a child have greatly admired him. I like to draw door gods, Qin and Weichi Gong with my own hands during the Chinese New Year. I like the joy and solemnity of putting them on the door with my own hands. I like the real person Cihang (called Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism) enshrined in my uncle's house, and I think she is amiable. I like watching TV series Mazu, and especially want to be the heroine who can save Haimin. When designing cartoon characters, I like to draw the land father, and I think his simple and honest image is very cute. When I was at school, my family went to worship Emperor Wenchang, wishing me to become the top scholar. When I was at school, I often learned classical Chinese in Chinese class, and the story of Laozi was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
? It turns out that Taoist culture has penetrated into the bone marrow, but we just don't know it.
? Whenever I talk about Taoism with others, I feel empathy for their incomprehension and confusion, because when my friends tell me, I am so shocked, but I always pay attention to my fate. I have been exposed to Buddhism since I was a child, received a good education, and don't believe in ghosts and gods. I was deeply attracted when I first came into contact with Taoism. I am afraid to see the big Buddha statue in the temple, but I am used to seeing the kind and tall fairy statue in the palace. I am not an atheist, which is the main reason why I like Taoism. It puts filial piety first, and does not change one's surname or forget one's roots when entering the Taoist temple (Buddhists change their surnames and forget one's ancestors). It advocates only looking at this life and living well (Buddhism only looks at past and future generations, and this life is only good for the next life). It advocates a spirit of "If you kick me, I will knock you down and not let you bully me" (Buddhism means that if you kick me, I will be fine).
? Most Taoist priests pay attention to health preservation, unlike monks, they all believe in truth. They are "old-fashioned", they show it when they are unhappy and live a real life. Moreover, most of them are healthy, and Taoist priests with dark hair in their 60 s are very common (paralyzed Taoist priests in their 50 s are also very common).
? Maybe you don't agree with me, but don't worry. You can first understand what is "Tao" and what is "Buddha". After you know all about it, you still think I'm talking nonsense, so I'll accept it humbly.
