Chapter 65 Xiao Becomes a Taoist Disciple

20xx. 04. 24
Accompanied by Daoist Ouyang, Xiao successfully arrived at the subjective, and he will formally become a teacher today.

In other words, after the formal apprenticeship ceremony, Xiao Cong will be a Taoist disciple from now on.

I checked the information about Taoism on the Internet, and the reproduced part is as follows——

#Cultivation first solves health problems

As a daily practice, cultivating Taoism adjusts and monitors the balance of yin and yang in our body every moment, so as not to make it biased.

This is the basic guarantee of health and longevity.

One of Taoist practice is to cultivate sexuality. This is clearly stated in the "Qing Jing Jing". It is necessary to dispel desires, calm the mind, clear the mind, remove the six desires and three poisons, and cultivate the harmonious relationship between mind, body, and objects. We must constantly improve our spiritual level, stay away from material desires, stay away from enjoyment, and not be greedy for pleasure.

#守道者，修世成道，It is a way to solve real problems

Tao uses a dialectical outlook on the universe and life to recognize the objective world in which we live and ourselves.

It does not make people detached, but makes people face reality more objectively and practically. It is a very practical method to solve real problems.

The purpose of cultivating the Tao is to allow us to live an ideal real life.

Tao's philosophy of life is the philosophy of wisdom.

It complies with the intrinsic laws of things, and through ingenious detours, it strives to satisfactorily resolve the contradictions and conflicts within things and establish a new balance.

This way is peaceful, non-invasive, and win-win.

#守道者, aims to change the inner state of the self, not the external objective

External objectivity does not depend on our subjective consciousness.

For example, the sun rises in the east every morning, and we cannot change it.

In what era we were born, we cannot choose.

Every day, we have to face people and things we like or dislike, and this cannot be avoided.

Cultivating the Tao can help us find ourselves in the complicated world, restore our autonomy, and let external things no longer control our hearts.

There is a lot of such related information, and interested friends can check it out by themselves.

Here I will introduce the basic procedure of apprenticeship——

First of all, the disciples have to write a letter of worship to the master, expressing their admiration for the immortal way, but they can't find it, and they are lucky enough to meet a mentor, so they can enter the door of Taoism;
Then express your determination that you can only embrace the Dao and die, not destroy the Dao and perish. Kneel down in front of the master's altar and recite the greeting card, and then present the greeting card to the master;

The master asked the hexagrams, made a table, and bestowed the name of the Dharma.

Apprentices kowtow and make oaths, and the master reads the door rules.

When apprenticeship, the master will take a bowl of water, drink half of it for himself, and then give you half of it. This is called "meat-to-mouth transmission".

In the end, the master will give you scripture instruments, or pass on the Dharma on the altar, which is called "inheritance".After a series of ceremonies, the apprentices officially become Taoist disciples.

In the evening, Xiao, who had become a disciple of Taoism, came back full of excitement. He took out a bag and handed it to me to put it away, because it contained his scriptures and magic tools and his big seal.

I solemnly hung a photo frame inlaid with Zhang Tianshi's image on the wall.

In fact, I'm really angry today, because Yaoer is very noisy today, he keeps challenging me.I finally broke out, I pointed at Yao'er and scolded him for not studying hard, not doing things seriously... In the end, Chi Yu was hurt, and Xiao was also scolded.

When I was angry and roaring, both Xiao and Yao'er flashed into the study room, they didn't make a sound, just stayed in the study room so quietly.I stood alone in the living room and at one point presented myself like a madman.

After scolding, after I calmed down, my heart was filled with guilt for Yaoer, and I felt like I was going crazy.

I think everything is my fault. Recently, I have not taken good care of Yaoer, lacked love, restraint, and communication with him, which caused his minor problems to begin to appear.

What is the matter with me?I feel like I'm going to lose control.
