The master is too sultry, the apprentice is guilty!

"Master, when I read the "Tao Jing" yesterday, I didn't understand some things."

"Oh?" Chonghua immediately forgot all about Feng. If the apprentice had any questions, she had to pay special attention to them. Only in this way could she promote her enthusiasm for learning, exploration and discovery, and her excellent learning quality of asking questions when she doesn't understand.

"Why don't you understand?"

Qianyin handed the remaining soup to Qianxue, and Qianxue turned her head with dignity, turning a blind eye.

A divine beast with animal character will not eat leftovers from others!

Qian Yin then took it back again and asked: "The scriptures teach us that everything is false, we must learn to be indifferent to everything. People in the world are burdened by fame and fortune, and tortured by vanity. In the end, people are empty, fame and profit are empty, and love is empty. Everything is empty. Then Master, if everything is illusory, why are you and me at this moment standing here, drinking hot soup and talking? Since everything is illusory, everyone can immerse themselves in their own world , only cultivate the heart of the Tao, communicate with the heaven and the earth, and not be disturbed by foreign affairs. Wouldn’t it be closer to the realm of Taoism? We cultivate immortals, and we often meet with the demons. What are we fighting for? Even if it is empty, why set up a school? , Why do we need to occupy a mountain and secretly compete for strength?"

Chonghua was surprised, he didn't expect her to have such a question.He is only sixteen years old and has lived a closed life for six years. He is ignorant of personnel affairs, but he has a thorough understanding of other things.The battle between immortals and demons is indeed meaningless.It's just a feud and a habit.Those who can see through are watching from the sidelines, while those who cannot see through are trapped in the situation and cannot extricate themselves.

"All illusory things in the universe, first of all, are derived from real things. There are thousands of different types, but they all come from the heart. Such as the struggle for fame and fortune, it is born of the greed of the human heart. Entanglement is born of the nature/desire of the human heart. If a person has no greed or desire in his heart, he will stop everything. The reason why he cultivates the Tao is to cultivate the mind of the Tao. Different people have different Tao minds, and the results are different. The origin of all thoughts, It all comes from the human heart. If the human heart changes, the world will change. Whether fame, fortune, love and hatred are vain or not depends on how you think about it. If you think about it, it is empty, then it is empty. If you think about it, then it It is existence. There is no difference between emptiness and existence. Emptyness is existence, and existence is emptiness. Their meanings are interlinked. The same is true of emptiness and reality. The reason why you and I are talking here and now while drinking hot soup is that The existence of things is inevitable. We imitate the ancient ancestors to practice Taoism, not to live in our own world, but to observe other people's lives in the vast sea of ​​people, and to gain insight into all things in the world. In the turbid world, we can retain our original mind, Even though the vicissitudes of the world are ever-changing, we can use a calm and peaceful mind to sit and watch the impermanence and changes of the six realms, and take a light look at the impermanence of life and death in the world. Everyone cultivates different ways, and the way they get is also different."

Qianyin shook her head: "If this is the case, then how many people in the Six Realms can understand the mysteries? Like you, Master, you can't just watch your apprentice die, like me, you can't stand Master being hurt by others. These fetters are not ours. Is there any evidence of existence? If Master can watch me die, and I can ignore Master’s injury and treat all these things indifferently, then what’s the point of living?”

Chonghua was choked, and he sighed for a long time: "Cultivating the Tao is not about teaching people to be ruthless. In everyone's heart, there are people or things that he cares about. This is the fact and proof of our existence, and it is also a kind of practice. The so-called unintentional Ruthlessness is the ultimate sublimation of heart and soul, and there is nothing. It is because of heart that one can experience everything in the world of mortals, and it is because of innocence that one can keep one's heart quietly, neither happy nor sad for things."
