Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 74
After arriving at Luofu Mountain, Li Yun could only feel that the incense was really not as prosperous as usual. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as an endless stream of people coming and going to offer incense. Li Yun was envious and jealous.

What is popularity, this is called popularity.

While Li Yun was paying attention to the tourists, many tourists also noticed Li Yun. He was dressed in a white Taoist robe and had a detached aura. He would not be ignored wherever he went.

Although the image of the detached immortal is very attractive, there are already enough similar images on the TV screen. Many people just secretly took a photo, or after looking at it, they put their minds on their own. things.

Follow the route to the largest Taoist temple with the most incense.

When he arrived in front of the main hall of the Taoist temple, Li Yun realized that the scale was really not ordinary.

This Taoist temple has Shanmen Hall, Lingguan Hall, Sanqing Hall, Jade Emperor Hall, Sanguan Hall, etc., which respectively enshrine the Qinglong Baihu God, Taoist Sanqing, Wang Lingguan, Jade Emperor Four Royals, and Heaven, Earth and Water Officials.

At the same time, there are also places such as Huabao Furnace, Zhaitang, etc., which are complete with five internal organs, which are better than the Sanqing Temple where Li Yun is.

In the old Sanqing Temple, there was only one Sanqing Temple, but now the Sanqing Temple has become the Temple of Fortune.
One of the halls of the Temple of Heaven has been closed as a place for discussion on the Third Meeting Day, while other places are still open as scenic spots.

After following the road signs and stepping into the main hall, the first thing I saw was Xiaodao Master Xuanhui.

"Master Yun, you are here, and your seat is here." With a look of respect on his face, Xuan Hui handed the signboard belonging to Sanqing Temple to Li Yun, and then led Li Yun into the Taoist temple.

Li Yun nodded slightly, followed Xuan Hui into the main hall, and the scent of incense could be heard, but it was different from the incense inside Sanqing Temple, the incense here was still a bit choking.

There are a lot of fellow practitioners here, and since it hasn't started yet, they get together in twos and threes first, either to talk about some family issues, or to talk about the Dao so far.

"The owner of Sanqing Temple?" One of them, an old man with a white beard, said after seeing Li Yun's badge, "Isn't it the old man Xuan Daozi?"

"My father went on a long trip, and found that the Sanqing Temple was taken over by Pindao." Li Yun smiled lightly.

"Oh, it turns out that the old man Xuan Daozi has gone on a long journey. Poor Daoist Wang Sanhui, he had some accidental fate with Xuan Daozi before." Wang Sanhui laughed.

Li Yun was a little surprised. Shouldn't the communication between the Taoist priests be the report number?First he was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Pimpedao Daohao single word cloud"

"Hey, there's no need to make up Dao names or not, just report our common names." Wang Sanhui waved his hand, and then said: "Secularization is inevitable now, and we have to keep pace with the times, and we can't be old-fashioned." Follow some of the rules from the past."

At this time, Wang Sanhui laughed at himself: "Our Taoists emphasize innocence and inaction, leaving the world of mortals untouched, and now we can only find the way of survival through entering the world."

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable, if you don't enter the world first, how can you talk about being born? Only when there is a world, can there be Tao. Although the world of mortals is chaotic, why is that not a kind of exercise?" Li Yun said lightly, talking about the chicken soup for the soul that he read in college. come out.

"Hehe, I'm a bit confused." Wang Sanhui smiled, and then said: "The topic of our discussion today is birth and entry into the world."

Buddhism pays attention to joining the world to help people, while Taoism pays attention to quietness, inaction and self-care.

But now, judging from the level of management of various Taoist temples, it is undoubtedly that they are mainly engaged in the WTO, and the Taoist temples that were born in the world have long starved to death in the valley.
Without him, it is undoubtedly because the current environment is not suitable for birth.

After Li Yun chatted with Wang Sanhui for a while, the three meeting days had already begun. The elegant middle-aged Xuanli, who was dressed in a blue Taoist robe and had a smile on his face, walked in from outside the door.

"Thank you for participating in our Dharma meeting of Luofu Zhengmingguan. The poor Taoist is also very grateful."

"The topic we are discussing today is very simple. It is the so-called entry into the world and out of the world." Xuanli threw out the question. He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't get the answer he wanted, and then said: "Today everyone Colleagues can speak freely and express their own ideas.”

One of them, who looked a little chubby, said.

"I think, the so-called birth into the WTO, the most important thing is to fill your stomach first. If you are hungry, then there is no talk of birth, right. Isn't our current business model just joining the WTO? Entering the world to inherit the incense."

Wang Sanhui shook his head and said.

"That's wrong. Nowadays, there are not a few people who are born in the world and practice pure cultivation, and they are not unable to survive. After all, this is only our own choice."

Everyone is discussing what you say and what you say, and they are arguing fiercely with the topic of entering the world and being out of the world.

Li Yun, on the other hand, sipped tea and pastries silently, as if he was standing outside the crowd.

This gave Xuanli a very strange feeling, as if the young man in front of him was independent and aloof from the world.
After hesitating for a while, Xuanli also took the initiative to step forward and said: "Guanzhu Yun, do you have any opinions on rebirth and entry into the world?"

Li Yun looked at the middle-aged man with a jade-like crown in front of him, and after chewing a mouthful of pastry, he said with a smile: "Isn't it the master of the Xuanli Temple? Said that Pindao doesn't care about what is the practice criterion of being out of the world and joining the world."

don't care?
Xuanli recalled the Three Purities Concept. He knew the Three Purities Concept before. This is a typical Taoist concept of entering the world, but because the incense is too bleak, it seems to be no different from being born into the world.

This time, he also knew that the host had been replaced, and he seemed to have gathered a little bit of popularity, so he called him over by the way. His impression of Li Yun was also a Taoist priest who would play tricks to gather incense, such as before. Qi Ming's trick to fool his nephew.

"But those who seek the Tao should have their own standards. It doesn't matter whether they are out of the world or into the world, so how can we talk about seeking the Tao?" Xuanli said.

"Entering the world is a way, and leaving the world is a way. However, in my opinion, there is no difference between these two ways, just like Buddhism. The Hinayana Buddhism of Buddhism pays attention to leaving the world, escaping into the door of Buddhism, pure heart and few desires, and the world is empty. Mahayana Buddhism pays attention to entering the world, stepping into troubled times, promoting Buddhism, and promoting culture. In the bottom line, being out of the world lies in crossing oneself, and entering the world lies in crossing others, so are you crossing yourself or crossing people?" Li Yun continued indifferently : "Our Taoists emphasize tranquility and inaction, and Taoism follows nature. The so-called Taoism follows nature. In the poor way, it means following one's heart."

"Whether you enter the world or leave the world, you can cross yourself or cross people, in the end, what you preach is the way, and what you preach is the heart."

"There are many rules in the Taoist sect. The main ones are abstaining from desire and keeping quiet. You can quit lust. After keeping the tranquility, the Tao will follow the law naturally. How can there be any existence when you follow your heart? After all, it's just mediocrity."

Li Yun smiled lightly, drank the tea in one gulp, and got up.

"Guanzhu Yun, where are you going?" Xuan Li was stunned for a moment and then stopped Li Yun.

What Li Yun said just now is indeed very reasonable!
"Poverty. Come as you wish, leave as you wish."
