awaken

悟真篇，use Wu 悟 as the first word of the title, how can you say there is no enlightment in Daoist? Daoist cultivation is not only the skills of breathe you learned from your school. Daoist cultivation is more than you know.

I noticed more men than women here. Why?

I can't breath from the heel. But I often feel some chi under the heel. Feeling like Beat, a little electricity

I have sit for 27 years. 9 years is not enough to open the emptiness. Maybe you can, but not me. 9 years is very short in dao cultivation.

Thank you for a friendly question. I have written a lot in my space. Welcome to read them first. http://www.thedaobums.com/forum/487-awaken/

In daoist, shi Shen means ego Shen. Shi Shen make these desicion by yii, 意 Yii, 意，means thoughts and the ability to think. In daoist, The Yii is hidden in the chi of spleen.

Yes A picture is worth a thousand words. I learned it. Thank you. Have you ever seen chilling fan? A little bit like that.

The process of ren du, we use lower dan tian as an oven, middle dan tian as a pot. After Hun dun, we change the oven and pot, 移爐換鼎。 The process of Zhong Mai, we use middle dan tian as a oven, upper dan tian as a pot. The process of ren du, we have a lot of strong chi. The process of Zhong Mai , our body change the chi to a pure chi, not so strong as the chi in ren du. When we get into the emptiness, the strong chi disappear, 鉛盡汞乾

未證言證 It means you are not there, but you say it just like you are there. It is not good in Daoist tradition. We should not talk about the dao like you are already there. It will make you like you are a salesman. You are talking something that you don't understand. But the way you talk like you already know. We should not talk about dao only by knowledge from school. We should talk from our heart and our practice. Your school is the way you should follow. Your school is not the advertisement you need to keep on introducing.

I can breath from head and kidney. From head will open the head top. From kidney will lead Mco. But most of time, the breathe disappear soon and get into 玄關

It has both directions. I got more clockwise Sometime it turn clockwise, and then another direction. It is not a static symbol. The picture you post is not the inner sights I saw. I am a ordinary person. I post these just to invite more people to practice wu Wei to reach the emptiness. I guess the story you post is 西遊記 I read it when I was 12 years old. But the English version is too difficult for me to read.

Ego shen

Arkady If you are very good in alchemy , you can scan me. Then you will know where I am in the process of alchemy. But I am not good enough to scan you. I only can receive you. Your chi is cold and something tight in your heart. Your chi make me feel uncomfortable. So...sorry.. I will try to ignore your posts. I don't want to receive too much bad chi. I suggest you don't need to ask me any questions. It will waste your time.

Yes Zhong Mai is 中脈 Both ren du and Zhong Mai are open, then we can get into the emptiness. The Dan tian system in Zhong Mai has the different way, compare to in the system in ren du.

Welcome What is AYP?

Also, you speak about the allure of magical applications of chi. Some schools advocate exploring applications (which could be considered magical) as a way of growing into the experience of "oneness" with the universe or understanding the energy body. Other schools say that exercising such abilities is a side path, some even say that it wastes cultivated energy and detracts from the late stages of alchemy. Do you have a perspective on the matter? -------》 I agree. I heard it many years ago. I didn't know the reason when I was a beginner. Recently, I begin to know why. But it is not easy to let people know. Chi and Shen are the material of golden dan. After mixing chi and Shen, it still need a process, 溫養, 封爐。 Many daoist classics talked about 溫養，they say 恍惚，渺冥，昏久則昭明, Hun dun Why we need 恍惚？ That is the process of hiding shi-Shen 識神隱 There are two process of 恍惚 Anyway, Shen and chi need to be 溫養 for a long time. But some people don't do it. They keep the chi and train the chi to let the chi more and more powerful. So this is the branch road. You decide the direction of chi. Mixing with Shen and 溫養？ Or train it and stronger? The two different ways lead different results.

. Sorry, I am not sure what is Chong Mai. To make sure you can get the right words, I write the Chinese words. Middle Mai is 中脈.

I have heard that someone spent 200,000 NT dollars to ask his teacher to start the chi for him. But all my friends and my students started the chi by themselves. They didn't need to pay any money. It is not easy to explain how the way of starting influence the way of the last stage. There are many branch roads. Every mistake will waste many years until you find out it. Yes, we can have many ways to build Foundation. There is only one way to the emptiness. But some schools have the different definitions about the emptiness. So....it is not easy to use words to tell you what is the emptiness. I am glad to answer your questions because I can feel you are friendly and these questions may be important to you.

In the 100 days foundation, there are an infinite number of ways. In the last stage , 9 years facing the wall, there is only one way. The chi can be used or cultivated in many ways. The using of chi will attract people very easily. There are many branch roads in this way. People are attracted by the magic power of chi.

Both

100 days Foundation: have chi If One who know how to deal with Shen and chi We can call him have the foundation 3 years lactation: stillness, chi go inside the 玄關 If one who know how to deal with 玄關竅 We can call him now how to lactation 9 years facing the wall: starting opening the emptiness When one start the process of opening the emptiness He won't have dream. His middle Mai is open. He start the evolution process of golden Dan We can say his is in the process of 9 years facing the wall There is still one more 10 months conceive The first stage of 玄關 The first stage of light When one can see the first stage of light Look like tai jii We can say he is in 10 months conceive

I don't have dreams since I opened the emptiness many years ago. If I receive too much bad chi, I will have a lot of noise in my sleep, but still no dream. Before I opened the emptiness, I had a lot of dreams. These dreams were getting more clear when I was opening the emptiness. They were very strange, very similar to illusion, just like I was there, very real. These dreams were not long, only a short moment and disappeared very soon.

I see many crazy people here. Say something blind and crazy every day. This is a article about training heart. If you can't read it. Please use google translation. 　　真正的修行不只在山上，the real cultivation is not in the mountain也不只在廟裏，not in the temple更需要在社會中。it need more to be in the society要在修行中生活，cultivate in daily life在生活中修行。 　　有的人整天打坐，someone do meditation all say 磕頭，撥念珠，修了好多年，for many years可是習氣、煩惱依舊，性格、心態依舊、沒有任何改變，but nothing change這不是真正的修行。this is not true cultivation 　　你的工作環境也是你的道場，你的壇城。無論你從事什麼職業，都要把你的修行融入到你的工作中，面對境界歷事煉性，對人煉心。要盡你的責任和義務，要盡心盡力地做好你所承擔的一切，要制心一處，用心去做每一項工作。 　　把你的服務對象看成為父母眾生，一切為他們的利益着想，以真誠心對待每一個眾生，to treat everyone by sincere heart 關心他們，care about them幫助他們，help them理解他們，體諒他們，做眾生的公僕，全心全意地為他們服務。當你不求任何回報地去給予奉獻的時候，when you give without asking feedback這就是你的修行，that is your cultivation你會得到無比的快樂。you will be happy你的事業、你的工作、你的一切都會順利。everything from you will be very good不要怕遇到違緣障礙，don't afraid to meet something bad他可以歷煉你的心性，it can train your mind提高你的層次，raise your level 增長你的智慧。grow up your wisdom 　　你的家庭就是淨土，your family is your pure land就是你的寂靜處。is the place of the silence要把你的淨土打掃的乾乾淨淨ou need to clean your pure land，佈置的清淨莊嚴，要任勞任怨的盡你的責任和義務，do your duty without complain 擦掉灰塵就是擦掉你的業障wipe the dust clean is wipe your karma clean，掃除垃圾就是掃除你的煩惱。你的家人都是你的親人，都是你的父母眾生、兒女眾生，都是你的金剛道友，要關心他們，照顧他們，尊重他們，不要傷害他們，怨恨他們。 　　各有各的因緣，everyone has his own fate各有各的福報，his own results你執着什麼，what you attach for什麼就會傷害你，what it will hurt you你執着誰，who you attach for 誰就會讓你傷心，who will let you sad一切都要看成如夢如幻，you should treat everything as a dream放下所有的妄念，put down all the fake thoughts但放下不是放棄，put it down but not give up該做的還要去做，you need to do you should do還要做好。and you do it well 人生就如同一場戲，life is just like a drama戲已經開場了，when the drama start,你就要演下去，you need to keep on playing但是你要明明白白、清清楚楚的知道，but you know it exactly你是在演戲，you are playing the fake drama哪裏有真的夫妻?there are no husband and wife哪裏有真的兒女?既要演好你的角色，you need to play your role well又不要假戲當真，but don't see it as reality其實人間並不是我們的老家，眾生只不過是匆匆過客而已，有什麼可執着的，有什麼可計較的，少説一句又能怎樣?退一步又能怎樣? 　　凡事不要只考慮自己don't just think about yourself，要多為對方考慮think about others。只有去掉了自私、自利、自愛，only without selfish,你才能夠自在。you can be free當你真正有了慈悲心、菩提心，when you have the mercy, 你如理如法地修，you need to cultivate by dharma真心誠意地去做，do it sincerely別人自然會尊重你，people would like you and respect you喜歡你。你怎樣對待別人，how you treat people別人也會怎樣對待你，how people treat you不要總是怨天尤人，don't just complain everything不要總是挑別人的毛病，don't just fault-finding看別人不順眼，不要總想去改變別人，先調整好自己的心態，修好自己的心，一切境都會隨心轉。 　　當你以寬闊的胸懷容納一切，包容一切的時候，你就不會有想不通的事，看一切人都是好人，看一切事都是好事，看一切境都是好境，你如果能經常查找自己的缺點，能不斷地去掉我執，這就是修行，否則修什麼呢? 　　其實，修行和生活，工作並不矛盾，佛性是我們每個人都具有的，然而人們陷入了繁忙的事務，到處奔走尋求，忘記、失落了自我，不知道最重要的、最寶貴的東西應該從自心中尋找。佛就在心中，真正的佛就是自己的心。我們一定要有信心，信心有多大，成就有多大。認真學，堅持修，好好學，好好修，今生一定能夠解脱，今生一定能夠成佛。 　　生病的人，要找回健康;失業的人，要找份工作;傷心的人，要找到快樂;失望的人，要找到希望。我們一生幾乎都在為找事業、找朋友、找財富、找功名而忙碌，甚至一生一世都在找尋，仍然找不到自己想要的。其實找來找去，找自己的心最重要。怎樣找到自己的心? 　　第一、成就內心的真佛。有句偈雲：佛在靈山莫遠求，靈山就在汝心頭;人人有個靈山塔，好向靈山塔下修。每個人心中都有一尊本來佛、自性佛，卻在耳娛聲色裏追逐迷失，找遍外在一切，忽略自家珍寶，空在世上幾十年找不到真正的自己，很是可惜。因此，我們要作一個有智能的人，向心內覓佛，成就內心的真佛。 　　第二、點亮內心的燈光。be the light of mind現代人強調淨化環保、淨化社會，其實最主要的還是要先從淨化自己、淨化心靈做起。因為我們的心，經常被愚痴、黑暗、無明、煩惱所遮蔽。我們每個人的自性裏，都有一盞心燈，點亮這盞智能的燈、般若的燈，就能趕走無明、煩惱。有謂美容、美顏、美姿，不如美心，點亮內心的燈光就是美心。 　　第三、治療內心的病患。cure the illness of your heart身體生病了要看醫生，心理生病了該怎麼辦?有人求神問卜，有人看心理醫生，不過最究竟的，還是自己要做自己的醫生，因為自己內心的病，自己最瞭解。佛説一切法，為治一切心;若無一切心，何用一切法?”佛陀説法，就是要治眾生的八萬四千種煩惱病。所謂勤修戒定慧，息滅貪瞋痴，用戒來治貪，用定來治瞋，用慧來治痴，身心才會解脱清涼。 　　第四、發掘內心的財富。find the fortune of your heart外在的財富，隨時可能因為水、火、盜賊、貪官及不肖子孫等而消失。然而我們心內的財富，是偷不去，也失不了的。如：信仰、般若、慈悲、道德、精進、喜舍、慚愧等等，都是心中的財富，這是取之不盡、用之不竭的。你想擁有多少財富，就得看自我發掘多少了。 　　生活在世間，who living in the world有人專找門路，someone like to find some way 有人愛找碴兒，someone like to find others fault找來找去，只有自找苦吃，自找罪受。唯有找到自家寶藏，only find out the treasure in your own heart心裏才會開朗，you will be happy才會踏實，無論什麼樣的生活，都得自在。 This is a good article. We can think about it. Our cultivation is built in violence or in love. When we face the violence, how do we deal with it?

Me? No But I want to visit Japan. Japan is a beautiful country.
