Introduction to Taoism
There were many aspects involved in the introduction of Taoism: ** 1. Basic Concepts ** 1. ** Understanding of Dao ** - The essence of Dao was void and ethereal, representing the origin and body of all things in the universe. It was formless, emotionless, and nameless, while all things were tangible, sentient, and famous. For example, the Great Dao was invisible but could give birth to heaven and earth, the Great Dao was heartless but could move the sun and moon, and the Great Dao was nameless but could nurture all things. 2. ** Important Concept "Inaction"** - Wuwei was an important concept in Taoism. It meant to conform to nature, not to act recklessly, and not to force things. It was a way of life that transcended the secular world and returned to its original state. In the way of life, it was reflected in indifference to fame and fortune, letting nature take its course, and governing by doing nothing. ** 2. Cultivation-related ** 1. ** Cultivation goal ** - Through comprehending the Dao, cultivating the Dao, and attaining the Dao, one could reach the realm of becoming one with the Dao and become a true Saint. This required one to go from having the mind of discrimination to not having the mind of discrimination, from having the motive of action to not having the motive of action, and return to the origin of all things in the world. 2. ** Cultivation Method ** - It involved the cultivation of nature and life. Understanding the truth was the skill of nature, and controlling desires and words was the skill of life. Both methods could be used to achieve the "dual cultivation of life" and eliminate the three poisons of greed, anger, and obsession. For example, greed can be dealt with through precepts (abstinence of desires), anger can be dealt with through concentration (rational decision-making), and ignorance can be dealt with through wisdom (comprehensive cognition). - If a person could always be quiet, let go of his desires and calm his heart, clear his heart and clear his mind, he could reach a state where heaven and earth were all returned. This was also a manifestation of cultivation. ** 3. Taoist System ** 1. ** Calendar Method-Dao Calendar ** - The Taoist calendar was a special calendar for Taoism. It was based on the Chinese summer calendar and used 60 years. Starting from the Yellow Emperor era (2697 B.C.). However, the Tang Dynasty used the year of Laozi's birth (1300 B.C.) as the beginning of the Taoist calendar, but after the Song Dynasty, it was still based on the era of the Yellow Emperor. When he was in the Taoist fasting ceremony, he used tables, memorials, documents, etc., because he did not use the Taoist calendar to count the years to the gods, but wrote the year of the Heavenly Fate Jiazi. 2. ** The classification of immortals ** - In Taoism, there were five levels of immortals, namely Heaven Immortal, Immortal, Earth Immortal, Human Immortal, and Ghost Immortal. 3. ** Quan Zhen Sect Ancestral Court ** - The three ancestral halls of Quanzhen Sect were Yongle Palace (Lu Zu) in Ruicheng, Shanxi Province, Chongyang Palace (Wang Chongyang) in Hu County, Shaanxi Province, and Baiyun Temple (Qiu Zu) in Beijing. 4. ** The Taoist priests of the Ten Jungles divide the work ** - The resident Taoists in the Ten-sided Forest divided their work carefully. The highest person in charge was the abbot or the supervisor (abbot), the abbey dean. Below the abbot and the supervisor, there were eight deacons, namely, guest, Liao, Ku, Zhang, Jing, Dian, Tang, and Hao, who were responsible for eight aspects of affairs. ** 4. Taoist priest related ** 1. ** Clothing Type ** - Since Liu Xiujing of Liu Song Dynasty, Taoist clothing has been stipulated. There are now large robes (one foot four inches wide and long sleeves, which are used for daily wear), Taoist robes (also known as "Deluo", one foot eight inches wide and long sleeves), Buddhist robes (two feet four inches wide and long sleeves, yellow and black borders, worn when receiving ordination), Buddhist robes (worn by high officials and abbots during rituals or religious ceremonies), and flower robes (embroidered clothes worn by Buddhist masters when they go to the temple). 2. ** Type of Crown ** - The crowns worn by Taoist priests generally included the yellow crown (i.e., the moon crown or the crescent moon crown), the Five Mountains Crown (in the shape of a bucket, engraved with the true shape of the Five Mountains, which could only be worn by those who had received precepts), the Star Crown (in the shape of a bucket, engraved with the shape of five stars, worn by old cultivators when they worshipped the bucket), the Lotus Crown (also known as the Shangqing Crown, usually worn by those who had high achievements), and the Five Elders Crown (in the shape of a lotus petal, embroidered with the image of the Five Elders, also worn by those who had high achievements). ** 5. The importance of a teacher ** - The three treasures of Tao are Tao, Jing and Shi. Cultivators must convert to the Three Treasures. If they do not convert, they may fall into the evil path. Because life, death and other major events are subtle and secret, if there is no teacher's true kindness to enlighten, it is difficult to comprehend the orthodox Mahayana and gradually enter the wonderful path of nothingness. It is possible to degenerate into evil views and mistakenly enter the unorthodox path. The alchemy scriptures and Dao techniques couldn't be self-taught on the internet. They needed to be taught by a teacher to be able to master the Dao. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
Introduction to Taoism
In Taoism, the seventy-two righteous immortals all possessed unique skills. Back then, when the Chaos was first created, the Dao was established. The world went through four stages: Chaos, Primordial, Primordial, and Whirling. The Dao was before the Connate Realm, and only after that did other sects appear. There were 360 unorthodox schools in the "Dao" school, and all of them had positive results. There were also the "Art School","Flow School","Movement School", and "Tranquility School" as the four major schools. The orthodox Great Dao sent 72 orthodox immortals to leave behind 72 arts for all living beings to help the world and the people and ensure the survival and reproduction of all living beings. However, most of the 72 immortals had been forgotten. Among them, Emperor Yan (Shennong) tasted all kinds of herbs and wrote Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture, which was the ancestor of herbal medicine; Emperor Huang (Xuanyuan) wrote the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, which was the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine; Chiyou was the ancestor of witch medicine. There were also grandmasters in the medical and pharmaceutical industry like Sun Simiao and Bian Que. They had their own strengths in their own fields, but their status was different from Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang in their respective fields of medicine.
