All these things not only reflect the smallness and strength of the yogi, but also fully describe the cruelty of the real world.
The yogi may be able to have power beyond mortals, but as long as they still have "human" attributes, they can get rid of the natural binding force from human society.
"I know that you have been practicing martial arts with Hui Ji recently."
"In a sense, this is also a branch of the yogi, but after all, it is a minority that can really enter the Tao."
In a broad sense, everything in the world can be Tao, and the difference is how much "Tao" ends and "scenery" is on the way.
In the narrow sense, people who possess magic and seek immortality are real practitioners, and what they are doing is regarded as practicing Tao.
Master Lingyou did not deny this view.
After all, the current practice is the closest and most effective practice method explored by predecessors for thousands of years.
When Zen master Ke Lingyou didn’t want Pei Wende’s vision to be limited by the existing yogi method, he emphasized the principle that "everything can be Tao"
"Daoism is the dividing line between practitioners and ordinary people. Once enlightened, even if you are a blacksmith, you will have your own magical power."
You can tell your kindness by hearing the strings. Pei Wende reacted immediately.
"Is it the butcher’s" magical power "to say that I am skilled in solving cattle?"
Seeing that Pei Wende has such understanding, the Zen master suddenly nodded with satisfaction.
"What you do before you become a Taoist will be different from ordinary people after you become a Taoist."
"The so-called’ yogi’ is to recreate the path that our predecessors have opened up and do it through continuous learning and understanding, which is even beyond the realm of our predecessors."
This is also the reason why it is so difficult to practice Taoism, because true practitioners are pioneers who are determined to surpass their predecessors and benefit the future.
At least, it is a lifelong pursuit of aspiring practitioners to innovate and surpass their predecessors in this era.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong?"
Suddenly frowned Pei Wende remembered those ghosts in Mulian Temple.
They don’t seem to be the "devotees" in the mouth of Zen master Lingyou, but they are also different from ordinary people.
"Isn’t it true that all practitioners can’ enter the Tao’? How can those ghosts in the Mulian Temple make magical powers? "
"Those ghosts don’t have magical powers, and their changes are all manifestations of’ magic’."
Smiling and shaking his head corrected the mistakes in Pei Wende’s statement. Since he decided to let the other person really set foot in the spiritual world, it is naturally impossible for him to have such common-sense mistakes.
"Magic is a way to communicate between heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and avatar is a proof of perfect practice. The two cannot be confused."
The fact is that Pei Wende himself has awakened to this point.
Even if he didn’t realize this, the Zen master Lingyou would tell each other the difference between "magic" and "magical power" in detail.
"Even ordinary people can use the so-called’ magic’ if they can gather their spirits and draw spells."
"But the magical power is different. It is the evidence that the yogi has practiced to a certain extent and that the form and spirit are one."
Generally speaking, magic is to communicate with the "God" by means of spells, and to serve the "External God" to make ghosts let heaven and earth and ghosts do things for you.
The magical power is that the yogi expands his "god" and practices to a certain extent, which is much more difficult than normal magic.
"but remember, whether it’s magical power or magic, it’s your path of practice’ scenery’ rather than’ purpose’."
Speaking of this, Zen master Lingyou also deliberately paused to emphasize whether Pei Wende himself had just spoken.
Because he has seen too many practitioners in his life, he pursues spells and magical powers to create and kill evil. Naturally, he does not want his disciples to fall into the same field as those people.
"You should always keep in mind your original intention of practicing!"
If it’s pure magic, there’s no need for ordinary people to practice.
Because those abilities that appear as a result of practice can be achieved in other ways.
This is also the consensus of practitioners-if you want to make a fire, you can strike a flint, if you want to treat a disease, you can go to see a doctor, if you want to kill someone, you can bow your sword.
Compared with the simple ability to practice for many years, there is no need for the end.
"If you put the cart before the horse in pursuit of magical powers and spells, no matter what path you practice, it will eventually be a side road."
In the face of Lingyou Zen master repeatedly told Pei Wende not to be careless.
But after listening to each other’s theories, he suddenly developed a strange curiosity.
"Old monk, what did you want to practice at first?"
The fourth chapter is to fight for hundreds of parents and become a humanitarian.
"Why did I want to practice?"
By Pei Wende’s question, Zen master Ling You showed one leng.
"Actually, I originally wanted to lighten my family’s burden before longxing temple was ordained to become a monk."
This reason is very real and in line with the national conditions of this era.
Monks who have official officials can not only eat imperial grain, but also have land with little or no tax.
Many middle-class families usually send their children to be monks or attach their famous land to the name of temples in order to avoid the complicated tax corvee.
Anyway, in this war-torn era, one more identity means one more way out, and those families with more heirs can be said to be very open-minded
It’s that Zen master Lingyou is different from those "monks" who simply mix identities.
