How to teach the Taoist self-cultivation

There were many ways to enter Taoism: 1. [Body and body as one] This was the prerequisite for self-cultivation. First of all, one had to understand the concept of soul and spirit. The soul was yang qi, which constituted human thinking, wisdom, and spirit. The spirit was coarse and heavy yin qi, which constituted human feelings and body. The spirit formed the spirit, and the yang soul and yin soul were combined. When yin and yang were coordinated, one would be healthy. Secondly, he had to maintain a healthy body, ensure a good rest, a healthy diet, and appropriate exercise, so that his soul and body could be unified. 2. ** Avoiding the Mistake of Internal Refinement **: The entry level of Internal Refinement requires one to absorb Qi and cultivate internally. First, one must let the body's Qi and meridians be unobstructed and full of Qi and blood before starting to meditate. At the same time, he had to pay attention to the misconception of mind guidance (chanting Qi) because people had many distracting thoughts. If the distracting thoughts were heavy and angry during the guidance process, Qi would easily run amok in the body and cause deviation. Once it went wrong, it would be difficult to adjust. The true internal training was a combination of movement and stillness. It opened up the innate qi path of the body and allowed the energy in the body to increase substantially. Only when it was combined with the mental communication technique at the door could it truly be mastered. 3. [Evil Repentance: Meditation is the basic skill. It will take about half a year. It is divided into three steps.] First, he would repent in the dark room for two months, then he would sit cross-legged in the dark room for two months, and finally he would sit cross-legged in the house for two months. Through this method, he could get rid of the desires in his heart and make his divine sense calm down day by day, thus obtaining the peace of mind of his main body. 4. "Refine your mind and cultivate your nature": This stage is mainly to understand your own thoughts and use your thoughts to understand the different universes and the levels within them. It is also divided into three steps. One was to burn incense and sit cross-legged in cellars or basements to cultivate intelligence; the second was to sit cross-legged in a large box suspended in the air to cultivate concentration; the third was to sit cross-legged in a graveyard with eyes closed to cultivate peace and security. 5. [Hundred Days Foundation Establishment (Repair Deficiency): Many people have a deficiency in their body before they learn Taoism. This process requires the Taoist to gather Qi and gradually unblock the internal organs and meridians, expel the damp and cold toxins in the meridians and the body, repair the internal damage, and then replenish the depleted essence, qi, and spirit. When the meridians are unobstructed, the internal organs are strong, and the essence, qi, and spirit are abundant, it can be considered as building the foundation of the Great Dao.] However, this process might take a few years or even a dozen years, and it would require the guidance of the Dharmakaya.

The self-cultivation of cultivation included many aspects. From the perspective of the soul, the human soul reincarnated in the mortal world to use the mortal world's environment and physical body to cultivate and become a reality, returning to the origin. In this process, to achieve the dual cultivation of life and death, one must cultivate the true self. For example, it was a kind of merit to successfully cultivate the true self of the Yang God. On the other hand, one must cultivate one's temperament and learn the way of dealing with people, such as not being arrogant, not being self-righteous, not causing trouble, not offending others, not letting others have grievances, not having desires, and having a pure temperament. Only in this way can one's behavior and temperament be consistent with the Great Way, reach the realm of integration with the Way, and return to the origin. At the same time, one had to correct one's behavior and temperament during the cultivation process to avoid sin and karma. If one could not fulfill the above requirements, there would be obstacles during cultivation. "Who told him to cultivate!" The novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Portable cultivation usually referred to a unique cultivation setting in cultivation works (such as web novels, games, etc.).
