Excerpt from The Essence of Collected Taoist Scriptures

The first step: tonify the body and drain-the fruit of delaying illness and prolonging life.

(1) The principle of strengthening the body: a person is born in the mother's womb, spiritually by the mother's qi and blood, and the fetus is full in October. After separating his mother, he became human. One to sixteen years old, sunny, full belly. Sometimes when the anger reaches the sun, the external kidney feels it, that is, it has lust. One has intercourse with a woman, so the mandarin duck spectrum of more than ten years has been omitted. When this vulnerability is opened, it is the most difficult to close it again. For a long time, most of the semen produced by the body was missed through this orifice, and (when the semen went, the vitality followed), so it became the body in which it was defeated. The wind and rain are coming, and the cold and heat are pressing. The disease is infected and death is coming, so this person can't live forever. Need to repair the body, as mentioned above, so the method of repairing the body is still unknown. The method is applied to drain the body, drain the orifices, re-plug, drain the semen and replenish it until the essence is full and successful, that is, the spirit is refreshing, all diseases are not invaded, life is prolonged, and self-satisfaction is not sought. This is also the first step of truth cultivation.

(2) Health formula: If the body is leaking and the lust is moving, the essence in the body will follow the lust and go straight to Yangguan, so the rage attack of the external kidney follows its biological laws, which is also natural and natural, and it is a natural opportunity, so it is not a human being. To learn to sit still, we must first pay attention to the essence, not to let the essence come out, but to replenish the body.

1. So, when you are waiting for death, you must pose first (more details) and then be sincere in Xiadantian.

2. Try to restrain distractions, 2.

3. Use the eye view, that is, the so-called "light to light" to go to the abdomen, and the third is also.

But don't be too careful, just keep touching your abdomen.

When you sit down for the first time, you should stick to this goal and make up your mind to do it. I didn't see the effect, just five.

6. Beginners sit still, breathing is naturally uneven, but you can't emphasize breathing, which makes your mind unnatural (attention), but you can always keep Xia Dantian's sincerity, and your breath will gradually deepen and even.

7. When sitting quietly, don't be too intentional, don't be unintentional.

8. Intentionally falling on "being" and unintentionally falling on "being empty" is not Tao (attention). Imagine that everything is "nothing", that is, your body is not aware of your "existence", and only a little sincerity exists in your lower abdomen, which is impartial, carefree and suitable for meditation.

9. The first time you learn to sit still, you often can't do it for a while. You might as well take your time (attention). Sometimes your distractions suddenly rise, that is, your sincerity has passed (attention), so you should accept your sincerity quickly in Xiadantian, and your distractions will die out.

10. Sometimes you suddenly see the illusion of people and flowers, that is, sincerity disappears (attention). Check your sincerity again, and its image will disappear on its own.

For beginners, it is advisable to sit still for half an hour to one o'clock. Sedentary. One o'clock to two o'clock is fine. If you don't feel pain, you can extend the time. Pure work is fast, less work is slow, you can choose by yourself. The ancients sat quietly and held the sutra four times a day for about three months, so they could complete the fitness kung fu (note). However, due to the difference between physical strength and proper exercise, the result comes late and fast. After sitting quietly for a month, I felt very calm, breathing in harmony with myself, and gradually felt a slight vibration in my abdomen. Gradually, the hydrothermal fluid in my chest drops to the abdomen, gradually warms and vibrates, reaches the whole body, reaches the limbs and gradually supervises the blood. From the back, it passed Jade Pillow, Ueda, Tang Ming, Queqiao and Paris, and reached Huang Ting.

This is blood circulation, which is different from Yang Jing's entry into Huang Ting. You have to understand the heart. Gradually, the whole body blood can gather in Xiadantian at will (if the meaning exists, the qi and blood will come, and if the meaning is scattered, the qi and blood will be scattered. Sedentary, can make the whole body qi and blood smooth and obedient. Gradually, the field is unusually warm, while the inner kidney is like soup, and the testicles pass through hot air, and now they shine like electricity. Gradually huachi yuye overflowed, then the brain shook, gradually the blood vessels were unblocked, gradually the external kidney did not lift, and gradually the sun was turned off, and the child recovered. He is full of qi and light, with bright eyes and alert ears. He is immune to all diseases and has gained the fruits of prolonging life.

Step 2: Change your body-achieve eternal life.

(1) Incarnation principle: When a person's essence is satisfied, it will descend to innocence and yang. A person who wants to find his own way delays paying attention to other parties. So, one started from the wilderness, followed the magpie bridge, entered the tail, passed three customs, went up to the field, reached, crossed the magpie bridge, fell into a heavy hug, reached, and gradually separated, nourishing the governor's three veins.

At this time, the body, qi is yang, blood is yang fluid, and bones are yang. Wind and rain can't invade, cold and heat can't enter, and longevity is successful. The same is true of those who go through the customs and take food with them. However, it is not a bad body, because it is still tangible and may be bad. If you want to avoid reincarnation forever, you should complete the second step here and then enter the third step project.

(b) techniques for changing the body; After the tonic is finished, it is another group of yang, which gathers all over the fields and is as warm as spring day and night. "Dan Jing" is called a great doctor, and it is a foreign Dan. In this case, it's better to sit still and not be slightly happy with the result.

1 1. When the yang is satisfied, Dantian can't contain it, just like the qi of fire beads, that is, when the other person is looking for the orifices, his heart will be compressed and unable to stretch, so he will feel it when he goes down to Yangguan and reaches the external kidney. At this time, it is appropriate to close the yangguan to prevent leakage, which is also the eleventh.

12. When Yangguan is closed, you will cross Xiamagou Bridge and turn to Gu Dao. At this time, Gu Dao should be closed to avoid venting its gas, which is also the twelfth.

13. As Gu Dao was closed, he rushed to the outside of Luwei Point. At this time, it is necessary to guide it attentively and let it pass through the tailgate, which is also thirteen. Tail Lu was originally an ancient road through which the sun passed. As soon as the yangguan was opened, the essence was released, and it didn't pass through the Tail Point for a long time, so this point was blocked for a long time.

14. However, sometimes the temperature (power) is insufficient (sincerity is like fire, one heart is fire, and the temperature of single crystal is sincere). If the sun is not full, you can't get through when you go to the tail, but you don't have to force it. You'd better go back to Xiadantian, sit still and biochemical qi. This is also fourteen.

15. If the qi moves again, like a fireball, it will still be guided by intention to let it pass, which is also the fifteenth.

16. Once or several times, there will inevitably be a period of time. When it passed the tail, the heat and Jiajiguan of this group still sought to pass. This is the second level and this is the sixteenth level.

17. If you can pass the general rules, you will still go back to the court and sit still until you are inflated. This is seventeen.

18. Then guide it with meaning, which is eighteen.

19. After crossing the ridge, the hot air flows to Yuzhen Pass, which is called the third pass. At this time, it is still guided by the meaning, let it pass through the jade pillow and enter the field. This is also nineteen.

20. If you can pass the general rules, otherwise, you will return to the field sincerely and wait for its chance, and you will still do as the first two customs do. This is twenty.

2 1. Once the three levels are opened, this hot air will be guided through Tang Ming, across the Magpie Bridge, out of the canyon around the mouth, straight down the heavy building, and reach Huang Ting, which is the 21st level. (The sun's qi passes through the point, that is, the nose is a ventilated place, from which the sun's qi sometimes leaks. So it's dangerous to go around the magpie bridge, both before and after it. Attention! Attention! )

22. From Xiadantian, Yangguan, Xiaqueqiao, Gu Dao, Tailu, Jiaji, Yuzhen, Shangdantian, Tang Ming, and Huang Ting, the Ren and Du arteries are all connected. The work of getting food through customs clearance has been completed. (Single crystal says that the sun is the spirit and Huang Ting is the diet. When you change your sitting skills, you can't be the same as before. (at this time, it is a period of waiting for the weather in the big week. ) Sit-in method is mainly based on crossing the border to feed. At this point, the road has been half-completed, and it is only suitable for continuous, this twenty-two also.

This is especially true when sitting quietly, that is, when walking, eating and sleeping, you can't be sincere for a moment. When sincerity is gone, the spirit of the sun will not be sent. It's like boiling water in a boiler. When the fire is big, it is strong, and when the fire is extinguished, it is lifeless. Use sincerity to describe fire, not empty words. "Dan Jing" has a cloud: "Water is afraid of dryness (water refers to essence), and fire is afraid of cold (fire refers to sincerity)". This twenty-three is also.

Customs clearance and eating are alternate periods of body-building and body-changing. After going through the customs and eating, that is, there was a concept of time at that time, which made the ancestral spirits of Yuanyang happen from time to time, branching from the main vein and entering the whole body from the branch vein. After daily irrigation and nourishment, the yin in the body decreases from time to time, and the yang gradually fills up until the yang spreads all over the body. Muscles and bones have changed. Naturally, I don't eat, drink or thirst. Gradually, they hate the smell of the world, gradually produce a strange smell, gradually become lukewarm, gradually lose sleep, gradually calm down, stop breathing, and then reach a major decision. This is a perfect kung fu change.

The third step: practice magic-achieve the fruit of birth.

(1) Trance principle: Once you have completed the physical changes, you can go on a hunger strike and settle down. When you settle down, it is obvious that you have only one temperament, and that is Neidan. The inner alchemist, that is, the Yang God, that is, the so-called "true self". Seeing this thing, you can see sex and know yourself. However, this Yang God was cultivated by Zuling. The ancestral spirits in the body also grow and nourish the Yang God. It is also similar to a woman's long-term qi and blood to raise a baby. However, the baby grows into a human form in a woman's womb and gives birth naturally; Yang Shen grows into an immortal body in a man's body, in order to reverse it. As soon as the baby is born, the Yang God comes out of the shell, which is natural. The sun god came out because the third step of kung fu has arrived, and the result has arrived, and the great event has become. In the world, it is not affected by the nature of yin and yang, and in the world, it is not affected by fire and water. It can soar to more than nine days, and it is feasible to stay away from Wan Li in an instant. Guanghua shines with the sun and the moon, and its life span is the same as that of space. Gathering makes success, and dispersing makes qi. It's incredible and unpredictable. However, there is a fourth step. In order not to leave regrets, we must make greater progress.

(2) the secret of ecstasy: the transformation skill has been completed, and the essence is full of everyone, which will reach the final stage.

24. A major decision is a period of emptiness and cessation of breathing. It is natural to need to be hatched after long-term rearing, so you don't have to worry about it or look for it. The God of Gaiyang is impure. No matter what method is used, it can't be separated from the body. It is because in the trance period, he still shines nakano and Shimonoseki with sincerity, making the sun be the spirit to make up for the deficiency of the fetal god. This is also twenty-four.

25. The fetus is full of gas and clear, such as the mid-day moon (but a little turbid, that is, the fetal god is incomplete), and suddenly it is like snowflakes, flying in front of you, that is, the trance period is coming, and this twenty-five is also.

26. At this time, I will move my mind to the field and imagine myself rising from the clay pill official to the air. This is 26.

27. After repeated imagination and guidance, come out if you can. If you can't get out, you'd better watch the end and wait for the opportunity. This is also twenty-seven.

28. When the machine arrives, it will still be guided regularly and will be in a trance for a long time. Yang Shen has been born, that is, there is a body outside the body, called Dharma Body, which is indestructible. At this point, the party will succeed, without the pain of reincarnation, and will always be a supreme real person. Although Yang Shen can't soar at this time, it is still suitable for raising, so when Yang Shen comes out, he will take it back immediately, which is also 28.

29. It's twenty-nine after I get it back.

30. If you train like this every day, you can use it for yourself for a long time; But at this time, the role of meditation is only to save your strength and go to the field, which is thirty.

3 1. There are still many magical powers after the Yang God is out of body, so don't be happy to shine. You should keep the way and be cautious and self-disciplined.

32. In other words, Yang Shen is out of his shell and can't go far. Take one or two steps first, that is, retreat, and then take twenty steps, that is, retreat, from near to far, day after day, without losing your mind, this is thirty-two.

After three years of such training, Yang Shen had to be seasoned. Wan Li Road, carefree. After that, I will either live in seclusion in a famous mountain for nine years, or help everything in the world in order to accumulate virtue and achieve a bright future.

The fourth step: returning to emptiness and returning to emptiness-the fruit of achieving emptiness without truth.

(a) the principle of "returning to emptiness": to cultivate the mind for cultivation, to live for existence, and there is no danger of life and death. At this point in practice, if you stop, you haven't done your best. Yang Shen is a thing, a combination of human spirituality and ancestral spirit. Although it is qi, it is more essential than all acquired tangible things. However, there is still qi, which is confined to the ancestral realm of qi, unable to transcend the realm of nothingness and can only be combined with the original vacuum. Buddhism is boundless, and Laozi has been above 33 days, which is called "Tao". When we fix the truth, it will take us nine years to face the wall except for three years of breastfeeding after trance. We must let Qi disappear completely and blend with space until space is my body and my body is space. Far from the ancestral realm, it is best to be "nothing but the original." Otherwise, the Monkey King is a stubborn person who has traveled thousands of miles and still cannot get away from the Tathagata.

(2) The art of returning to the air: Yang Shen left the body and completed his cultivation. In fact, this is not the case. Anyone who goes from sitting still to appearing as a yang god is caused by the law, too fast. Its past habit, I am afraid, will not be extinct, that is, it has an indestructible body and no immobile sex. Is an endless life. Therefore, after being in a trance, you still have to sit still.

33. At this time, the posture is still the same, but the yang spirit exists, impartial, and left in a daze.

34. Gradually, "China" stopped insisting and "Fa" was absent. It is thirty-four.

35. Gradually, there is no space, and truth and nothingness are integrated, which is thirty-five.

36. Empty and empty, nothing without nothing, nothing without nothing, only to its extreme, this thirty-six.

When nothingness is nature, nature and nothingness are harmonious, and the spirit is pure, which is above the "ancestral spirit". At this point in the Tao, it is said to be supreme and unprecedented. In the final analysis, it is really fruitful and full.
