Chapter 22 The Master ran all over the ground

These two chapters are about explaining the previous relationship, why did you leave Chaoyang District?

Some people say that there are 30,000 living Buddhas in Chaoyang District. This is a bit exaggerated, but there are probably more than 30,000 people who claim to be masters. In the circle of celebrities, if you don’t have a master, you feel embarrassed to attend the dinner; if you don’t practice a certain method, you feel inferior.

In our community, there are several young people who serve as assistants for a certain star. Once, at a dinner party at Aunt Cai’s group, they talked about a certain star practicing "scattering and leaving behind" and throwing away all the extra things in the house. Young people think that celebrities are too noble and such good things are thrown away. I thought to myself: Actually, this is a waste. If it weren’t for the star’s show-off, it would be her “master” who is talking nonsense.

Another time at a dinner party, I heard that a "living Buddha" named Yangzong was coming. When I came, I saw that although I was wearing a monk's robe, I was a typical Han image. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said, "Trump" - Sichuan Mandarin, his behavior and pretentious behavior are difficult to describe.

I also met a guy wearing a Taoist robe who pronounced Xun in the gossip into (Yi) hexagrams, and I almost whispered to the spot.

Although I don’t know much about religion, I know that according to Chinese religious regulations, missionary preaching is limited to fixed places such as religious temples and temples or believers’ homes. Most of the missionaries on the streets are not real. In fact, this is not the fault of celebrities. You see, young people nowadays do not believe in Christ and have not been baptized, but they have to go to churches to find a pastor to prove their marriage, which is just fashionable.

In fact, religious belief is the need of everyone. If life is judged from the results, it will eventually lead to death. If we do not have the ability to find out the truth about where death is going, it is better to believe an existing answer, the West or heaven.

Proposing a solution to the path of life and death is the content of every religion. Because it cannot be verified, it will never be defeated. Is there any method to falsified to reach the truth of life? If so, where are the successful ones? What is the conclusion? Can ordinary people repeatedly verify it? Don’t talk about philosophy, don’t talk about thoughts, just methods and get results. This is "Tao"?

What is the true "master"? It should be a person who can see the truth of life. This life should contain three meanings: one is life, in addition to the time of life, it should also include where life comes from and where death goes. The second is sentient beings, in addition to humans, and also include all animal spirituality. The third is the universe's life, the law of operation and the time and method of generation and demise. If the Book of Changes can solve the direction of life when people are alive, it cannot be predicted before and after death, so the problems it solves are limited and it is difficult to become the subject of religion independently.

Many masters are now falsified, including the sweet Feng Shui master in Hong Kong, the qigong master in Jiangxi, Li Hongzhi of Falun Gong, and Zhang Hai, who is known as the secret of the secret, but the so-called masters who have not been falsified have been falsified. Perhaps many of them can be falsified, but the strong religious demand in their hearts makes people unwilling to believe that they are fake and no one just falsified. Some of them are religious performers and pretend to be mysterious magic stars.

From a utilitarian perspective, if a person dies like a lamp or has a soul after death, which one would you believe? If there are no masters or masters in the world around you, which one would you believe? Most of them are willing to believe in the latter, mainly because they believe that the latter can bring benefits to themselves.

Thinking of this, I am quite proud of my profession. Although I am also bluffing, 70% accuracy is far more honest than the vague and vague power of the scattered spirit.

Of course, there are not no strangers among these people. There is a magician with broken hands, who is about 60 years old and is known to be learning art in Qingcheng Mountain. Because he lives downstairs and occasionally meets dinners, he has dated. When he saw that I often took ancient books, he thought I was a scholar and invited me to his house for tea.

There is an altar in the middle of his house, and the incense burner talismans are all around him. He can move to Yin God, and some talismans. He said that he had a sick life when he was a child. He fell into a coma for three days. A "Duan Gong" saved him, and then he will move to Yin God. In other words, he claimed that he would enter the world of ghosts and let the thoughts of the dead souls come out of his mouth. During the Cultural Revolution, he was crippled by the Red Guards for "destroying the four olds", which proved that the gods did not exist because they had no power to protect his hands. However, he told me that his crippled hands were cause and effect.

, It is the result of the evil ghost, and there are still gods. Looking at my unbelievable eyes, he performed some magic on me in front of me. For example, Jiulong Water. He used a bamboo chopstick and asked me to verify the authenticity first. After I confirmed it was true, he folded the chopsticks half and placed it in a bowl with water. He began to read: "Thousands of Mus, tens of Mus, and tens of Mus, and the painting is used to turn down. If I didn't turn it in the past, the five dragons would hit Jiulong Beach." Then he swallowed the bamboo chopsticks that were more than ten centimeters long in front of me, and then continued to talk to me as if nothing had happened.

He asked me if I had been married, but I said no, and I had never even talked about my girlfriend. He suddenly became interested. He said he had obtained many spells from Duan Gong, and wanted to find a boy to pass it down, and asked me if I wanted to learn. But when I saw his demonic eyes and heard his duck-like voice, I felt quite resistant. I just refused: "My former master's will not be completed, and I dare not worship the new master now, so I will talk about it later." He said that as long as I want to learn, I can find him at any time.

In fact, I have a great interest in his art. I think that if the Tongyin God is real, then there will be certain that there will be ghosts; if the talisman works, then ghosts and gods do have superpowers. However, these superpowers did not help his life, and his hands were broken. His eyes and voice also scared me, and there was an ominous sign. So, my true thought is: stay away from it.

At that time, Confucius generally did not say things he didn't understand. When he couldn't understand Lao Tzu, he described Lao Tzu as "a dragon that saw the head but not the tail" to his students, and artistically admitted that he didn't understand. When he didn't understand ghosts and gods, he rarely talked about it: "Zi didn't speak of strange powers and confusing gods." If he couldn't avoid sacrifices, he said: "Sacrificing God is like a god." Is the god there? If he doesn't know, he will not answer. Therefore, rather than saying that Confucius is good at learning, it is better to say that his attitude towards academic research is good: "Knowing means knowing it, and not knowing it is knowledge."

Although it is stupid like those who believe in "masters", people who don't believe in anything are not much better. As for the warlock I have seen, some people are certainly unable to believe. Then, the main reasons why they don't believe are: one is that they don't believe in things they have not seen; two is that they don't believe in things that they cannot understand; three is that they are unwilling to believe in things that are not good for them. In short, few people admit that they have little knowledge.

So, the question is, do we believe or not? This is a big problem of epistemology, which affects human history. The so-called fools are willing to believe in the person they like and directly use the passages of this great figure to judge, which leads to idol worship; the so-called intellectuals like to experiment and reason, but "My life is also limited, but knowledge is limited, and it is gone with the limitlessness!"

But we cannot live with doubts, as it is too tiring. So collectively and unconsciously follow the crowd, which has become the main form of today's society. Follow the crowd, everyone will not be wrong, right? Even if everyone is wrong, I am the one who is unlucky.
