Chapter 9 Six Realms of Cultivation
Master Yu Ding nodded and warned: "Yang Jian, practitioners should understand everything and should not care too much. You must remember it."
Yang Jian didn't dare to say anything else, but he just nodded and said "Yeah".
The Master Yu Ding did not care about the unreasonable actions of his new disciple and said, "You have just entered the Taoist sect and it is not appropriate to practice at the foot of the mountain. Your teacher has found a quiet place for you and go with you."
After saying that, he grabbed Yang Jian's arm and the two immediately soared into the air.
Yang Jian first climbed the cloud road, but even though he was bold, he couldn't help but be shocked.
There is no root under my feet, and the sound of wind whistles in my ears is like a wild beast howling, passing through layers of clouds. My chest is like a big rock pressing on my chest and I feel like I have been down to earth for a long time.
In a trance, I found a short pine tree standing on a cliff, and a deep abyss was found on the edge of the cliff.
Yang Jian couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked around, and saw a place where he was only four or five feet apart, but it seemed like a grass had not grown, with only a layer of snow enough.
It is like a huge horse's hooves trampling from top to bottom, surrounded by a semicircular cliff wall, and looking upward, it is a vast white sky.
"Master, it turns out that we have not reached the top of the mountain. How high is this Taoshan?" Yang Jian finally looked like a child who had not grown up yet, and said curiously.
"There is still a distance to the top of the mountain. This is where you practice. You don't need to ask too much about other things." Yu Ding Zhenren said lightly.
"Master, what is this?" Yang Jian asked in confusion.
The real man Yu Ding ignored it. He waved his robe sleeves lightly, and the snow wrapped around the wall immediately flew like flowers. It took a long time to gradually dissipate. A cave more than meter high appeared in the middle of the cliff.
Yu Ding Zhenren said: "This is the place where Zen Master Wuchao practiced in his early years, called Ziguang Cave. Now I give you Yang Jian, I hope you will practice devoutly and reach the great road as soon as possible."
Yang Jian then bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, I dare to ask who is the immortal master of Wuchao?"
"Zen Master Wuchao is a monk who is the most proud of saving the world and travels around the world to save all living beings. By generation, you should call him uncle. Although he is a Buddhist, he is not a disciple of the Buddha. If he is destined to meet him in the future, he will be destined to meet him."
Yang Jian followed his master Yu Ding Zhenren into the Ziguang Cave, but he did not have the unique world as he imagined.
The depth is only more than three meters, and the width is only two meters. The length of the cave is only two distances from the ground.
There was almost nothing in the cave, only a large bluestone half a person tall and wide at the bottom of the cave. The stone surface was as flat as a knife cut. I think it must be a place for meditation and cultivation.
The ground was slightly uneven, but there were no large raised grooves.
The light inside the cave is dark, and outside the cave is an endless sea of clouds.
"Master, there is nothing strange about this purple light cave." Yang Jian said with some disappointment.
The real man Yuding had already jumped onto the bluestone and sat cross-legged.
He said seriously: "This is the so-called quiet place. People who practice Taoism should not be too extravagant and should not be greedy for happiness. They should regard treasure as ordinary and turn mortal into treasure. All things in the world are between the real and the real. If all things are regarded as one thing, this is the basis of cultivation..."
Yang Jian is still a little unclear, but he is eager to seek truth and save his mother.
He bowed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, my disciples will remember them."
"Those who practice Taoism should establish their minds for the heaven and earth, establish their destiny for the people, inherit their virtues for the past saints, and open peace for all ages... Yang Jian, when you first enter the Taoist sect, you don't have to be too clear about these doctrines and doctrines. Just practice with a kind heart. The deeper your cultivation will make you clear your heart..."
"Thank you, Master, please remember."
"Those who practice Taoism should not make false lies and mess with others, and do not show off their strength and bully the weak and do evil... Avoid killing intentions, do not have evil desires, do not have anger or delusion..."
The Master Yu Ding told the rules and precepts one by one, and then told him:
"Yang Jian, although you first met you, I know that you are jealous of evil and are pure and kind, but you occasionally have narrow grudges. Fortunately, you are still young and not well-informed in the world, and good and evil have cause and effect. In the future, you should keep more inclusiveness to others, cultivate the desire to save the world, and ascend to the great road as soon as possible..."
Yang Jian was a little impatient to hear that all the truths remained in line with the same principles. He had said these great principles very much during his lifetime.
He said patiently: "I have remembered it all, and I hope that Master will teach you the skills of your disciples to practice truth early, so that you can ascend to the great way early, establish your mind for the heaven and earth, and establish your life for the people."
He inadvertently changed his title, and the word "disciple" was obviously not as close as his disciple.
The Master Yu Ding was unaware of it and said amiably: "Well, I will teach you the art of cultivation. However, you must first know that the realm of cultivation in my teaching is divided into six realms..."
"Master, do these six purities mean that the six senses are pure?" Yang Jian asked curiously.
"Haha," Yu Ding Zhenren smiled, "These six pure and four elements are empty. This is the Buddhist saying of cultivating the mind. If you abandon the distracting thoughts and see all things, that is, what the master said just now, treat all things as one thing. What you said makes sense. You must first cultivate your mind. Yang Jian, listen carefully..."
"The first realm is the original realm, the origin of the great way. Just like at the beginning of heaven and earth, there is no wind, no rain, no blessing, no disaster, and no good or evil cause and effect. If the heaven and earth reopen, there is good first at the beginning, then good will be the source of all things. If there is evil first, then good thoughts will also be evil desires... The original realm requires first learning to cultivate the mind, preserve good and eliminate evil and eliminate distracting thoughts, and then open the meridians and strengthen the muscles and bones, and you will be reborn after success..."
"After the original realm, it is the Xuan realm, why is it mysterious? The Supreme Ancestor said that Xuanzhi and Xuan are the gates of the second, and everything is unknown and cannot be called Xuan. Just like an immortal who can pick stars with his hands, you can only sigh in the air... This realm can be a beginner in subduing demons and expelling demons and ascending demons, but it can only deal with some evil demons who have just become demons. The Xia Li is no more than a hundred feet high than ten miles... You can become a young immortal after success..."
"The third realm can be called a fairyland. You can take objects from across the air and escape through the walls. You can travel all three mountains and five mountains within a day, and use ghosts and gods... You can be ranked in the immortal class after success..."
"After this fairyland, it is the realm of leaving the realm, which is the great way to heaven. You can reach the nine worlds and reach the nine netherworlds, move mountains and fill the sea to control all things... You can be called the Daluo Golden Immortal..."
"This holy realm has reached the extreme of the immortal world, controls the fate of the heavens, the world's misfortunes and blessings, the cycle of life and death in the underworld... Destruction of the heavens and the earth is only between waving their sleeves... Only the three pure ones in our sect, the Buddha of the Western Heaven Tathagata, etc., have reached this state..."
"In the end, it is no realm, no desire, no desire, no birth and no death, and it is an invisible god... After this realm is opened up, no one can reach it anymore, and it is the ultimate realm, and there are only two ancestors of the Creator, Hongjun, the ancestor Nuwa,..."
"This is the six realms of cultivation. When you first enter the Taoist sect, you can only understand the principles. First cultivate your mind and then cultivate your true nature. What is your cultivation depends on your fortune."
After Yang Jian listened carefully, he also heard about the names of some immortals and gods.
