The nine difficulties of Taoism were as follows: 1. Before the great medicine was refined, it was difficult to resist the cold and heat, and clothes were needed to keep warm in all four seasons. 2. When one's eyes were filled with the fragrance of flowers, one's ears were filled with beautiful music, one's tongue liked delicious food, one's nose liked special fragrances, and one's emotions were carefree and comfortable. This kind of situation belonged to the Six Thief Demons. One had to be able to recognize it without being confused. 3. In the face of Qionglou Treasure Pavilion, painted pillars and carved beams, pearl curtains and embroidered curtains, Hui tents and orchid rooms, corals all over the ground, gold and jade full of scenes, can not be confused. 4. If there were golden saddles and horses, the scene of a towering canopy would not be confused. 5. It didn't affect the drifting smoke, the warm sun, the storm, the thunder, the music, the crying, and other scenes. 6. When relatives were in trouble, family members were in disaster, children were sick, and so on, they would not be tied down by this kind of love. 7. It was like being in a dangerous situation like being in a hot wok (losing one's virginity). It was not affected by it. 8. If one saw sacred scenes such as the Ten Lands (a Buddhist concept that represented the ten levels of Bodhisattva cultivation, which was used by Taoism to represent a realm), one would not be confused. 9. He was not disturbed by the sight of soldiers and horses gathering like clouds, weapons like frost, spears raised, bows and arrows opened, and fighting to kill. Ten Devils of Taoism: 1. The demons outside the body, such as the Six Thieves Demon, whose eyes were full of flowers, ears full of music, tongue sweet, nose fragrant, mood comfortable, and full of spirit, did not recognize them when they saw them. Once they recognized them, they would be confused. 2. Such as Qionglou Treasure Pavilion and other beautiful and gorgeous scenes, this is a rich demon, see can not be confused. 3. Scenes such as golden saddles and horses that represented nobility were noble demons and could not be confused by them. 4. Scenes that contained all kinds of emotions, such as smoke ripples, were Six Emotions Demons that could not be controlled. 5. The situation between relatives in distress was a loving demon and could not be hindered by emotions. 6. For example, the fire cymbals that had lost their virginity were dangerous and calamitous situations. They were demons of suffering and needed to be able to transcend. 7. For example, sacred and solemn scenes such as the Ten Lands of the Sun were saints and demons, and could not be attached to. 8. The scene of the Yuntun soldiers and horses was a weapon demon and could not be frightened. 9. The scenes of singing and dancing are music demons. Don't be attracted by them. 10. There are many beautiful women and other scenes, are female lechers, can not be confused by women. When a cultivator faces these nine difficulties and ten devils, if he meets them outside his body and does not recognize them or persist, his heart will not shrink back and his ambition will not change. If you encounter no recognition or attachment in your dreams, your spirit will not be confused and your spirit will not be scattered. When you see similar scenes in your inner view, you must examine the truth and distinguish between true and false. You must not follow the flow. You must burn these evil barriers with Samadhi True Fire to make the evil dissipate. Only in this way can you continue to advance on the road of cultivation.
