Interstellar Miner

Chapter 224
For the rest of the time, Mo Xuan and his party went to the snack street to taste the local delicacies.

The Immortal Cultivation Forum is about to start. Although Mo Xuan is not interested in the Golden Core stage at the beginning, Tian Li and Xiaomao are still in the Golden Core stage, so they need to listen to this.

So Mo Xuan and his party hurried to the meeting place, unknowingly the millions of futons were already [-]% full, and everyone tried their best to keep quiet.

Mo Xuan and his party randomly found a relatively remote place and sat on the futon.Tian Li and the three of them were all paying attention, ready to listen to the lecture.

Mo Xuan glanced around, and found that many immortal cultivators were devout, looking up at the top of the giant peak, speaking plausibly, and muttering something silently.Mo Xuan read the words on his lips, but they were words of gratitude to Huang Cang Tianxian for his selfless dedication. Does it mean that sincerity leads to spirit?

Accompanied by a melodious bell on the top of the peak, the peak began to shine brightly, Tianxian Huangcang showed his face, announcing the official start of this session of the Immortal Cultivation Forum!
Mo Xuan rubbed his chin, this Huangcang Tianxian really looks good, he looks like a slightly older uncle, dressed very simply, with a silver hairpin in his bun, with a thin face and a high forehead, His eyes are piercing, and he looks like a wise man who has gone through vicissitudes of life.

Huang Cang coughed lightly, and waited until everything was quiet in all directions, before officially speaking.

"First of all, what I want to talk about is the hard journey of life. Life is hard to live, hard to die, hard to cultivate high or low, hard to have money or not, but many people just don't understand, and when they encounter a little bit of trouble, they blame others : "God is too unfair, why am I so unlucky, all the misfortunes fall on my head." But I don't know the truth of suffering."

Haha, we are here to listen to the immortal cultivation forum, we want to know how to cultivate, how to become more powerful, and we want to be happy and happy, who is happy to listen to this life's bitter journey!Many listeners were very disapproving, and the venue became a little noisy.

The Earth Immortal who maintained order and many audience members were glaring. If you don't listen, you can leave. Don't make any noise to affect others, okay?
Huang Cang laughed happily and coughed lightly.The venue immediately fell silent.

Huang Cang continued to speak patiently: "I have always advocated the pursuit of happiness in life. Everyone should be optimistic and enterprising. Don't always talk about "suffering" and live a depressed and decadent gray life. Some people may wonder So I asked: Since life is about pursuing happiness, why bother talking about suffering?"

"The reason why I talk about suffering is to let everyone understand that this world is full of all kinds of suffering. After knowing the truth of suffering, we can go further to find the way to eliminate suffering. Therefore, understanding the existence of suffering is only a process. , and how to eliminate suffering and obtain liberation is the ultimate goal of my teaching on suffering.”

"Someone may raise a question and say: 'I am neither greedy for fame, nor for love. My life is full of happiness. How can I say that life is painful?' Let me speak slowly."

"According to my many years of experience, there are three kinds of suffering, eight kinds of suffering, one hundred and eight kinds of suffering, and even countless sufferings. It can be summed up as physical suffering and mental suffering. At the end of life, there is a wind knife suffering like a wind knife. Although some people are very indifferent to material things and can endure the pain of cold and heat, poverty and hunger; some people are detached from emotions and can endure the pain of parting from love and meeting with hatred, but everyone cannot escape the five aggregates of grasping at the end of life. Suffering, so in life, there is no one who does not experience suffering. Everyone will experience suffering, but the object of suffering is different. If we can thoroughly understand the causes of suffering and find a cure, then we Then you can stay away from the abyss of pain and enjoy a truly happy life. When you have a good mentality, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.”

"What are the reasons for the pain?"

"The source of suffering is that the relationship between me and things is not harmonious. For example, the house I live in is too narrow, and the population is too crowded, and I always have bumps and bumps in obtaining the merits of cultivation. I can't get what I want, so I naturally feel pain. For example, when sleeping at night, the height of the pillow used is not suitable, and one cannot sleep peacefully all night. It is also a painful thing to say. If the above-mentioned items that we may use in our daily life are not suitable for our minds and fully coordinated, it will cause pain.”

"In addition to the inconvenience and pain caused by things outside the body, even the hair, nails and other things that often live on our bodies, if they are not properly trimmed and washed, the dirt produced will also bring us troubles. Therefore, the ancients often used hair as a metaphor for troubles, saying: "White hair is three thousand feet long, and sorrow is like a long one." They also said "three thousand trouble threads". Inanimate things are closely related to our lives. "

"And the disharmony between people and me is the biggest cause of distress. For example, the person I love cannot stay together, while the person I hate has a narrow way to avoid it. This is the so-called 'Love Separation Pain' ' and 'Resentment will be bitter'."

"Sometimes people have different views on cultivation and different cultivation methods, which cause conflicts and frictions and pain. Sometimes I do things cautiously, fearing that I will offend others, but when I see a group of people whispering behind their backs, my heart is full of pain. Feel anxious, thinking that you must be criticizing yourself. Because the relationship between people and me is not harmonious, even though we work together, everything is not satisfactory, and everything is not satisfactory, which affects work efficiency. The incoordination of the relationship between people and me is enough to frustrate a person Therefore, the harmony of the relationship between people and ourselves is a very important homework for us to conduct ourselves in the world."

"I very much agree with the saying that 'health is the first wealth'. If you don't have a healthy body, even if you have the world's treasures and talents, you can't perform their functions."

"The heart has a sense of dominance. The ancients said: 'The human heart is only in danger, and the Taoist heart is weak.' Our heart is like a wild horse running around, not accepting the free arrangement of our will. Psychological problems, no matter how clever a doctor is, often can't do anything .”

"Seeing refers to thoughts and opinions. Material deprivation and lack can still be tolerated. The most unbearable thing is the loneliness in thought and spirit. In ancient times, how many great powers of cultivating immortals have practiced alone. On the road of cultivating immortals."

"As long as one is human, it is impossible not to have the slightest desire. Desires can be divided into good desires and evil desires. Good desires, for example, hope to cultivate into immortals and become immortals. The so-called three immortals of meritorious deeds, virtues, and words are those that seek upward. The desire to advance is the desire for good dharma; other desires such as coveting material enjoyment, coveting status and status, and being attached to the sweetness of love, etc., these desires that may cause us to degenerate are desires for evil dharma. If the desire for good dharma is not properly controlled, it will It forms a huge mental burden and causes a lot of pain. What's more, if the evil desire for law cannot be well controlled and maintains a good relationship with our heart, the pain it brings will be unbearable. Knowledge is the basic element of our immortal cultivators."

"Cultivating a firm will can certainly break free from the shackles of suffering, but eliminating the fundamental suffering of life and death is the main goal of our ascetics, not just thinking that there is no suffering in terms of will, awareness, and thought It is enough to comfort myself. Because although the troubles in the branches and leaves of life have been restrained, if birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be completely liberated, the fundamental suffering of the five aggregates of grasping will still exist. That’s why everyone works so hard to cultivate immortals and want to transcend birth, old age, sickness and death.”

"Suffering, whether it comes from external factors such as things and nature, or internal factors such as mind and views, in the final analysis, its root source is all due to self-attachment, self-love, and self-view."

"The self we are obsessed with is like a mayfly residing in the world. It has only a limited number of years. It is illusory and temporary and changes in an instant. The real self transcends time and space, treats, corresponds to dharma, and is equal to the void. The real self is free from troubles. , a pure and untainted self. How to expand the ego and experience eternal life is the key to getting rid of suffering and obtaining happiness, and it is also an urgent task that we cannot slack off."

……

Mo Xuan rubbed his chin, the ideology of this Huangcang Tianxian is similar to that of Buddhism on Earth!Listening to such forums can indeed cleanse the soul, and it is indeed very helpful for cultivating immortals.
