Types of immortals

[awaken]

Zhong Lu's preaching collection is a fake classic
The saying of ghosts immortals comes from this book

This book says that Tieguai Li, one of the Eight Immortals, is a ghost immortal

I suggest that you read this book as a novel, don't take it seriously

If you want to read novels, Liaozhaizhiyi tells more ghost stories

 

鍾呂傳道集是一本假經典
鬼仙的說法就是來自於這本書

這本書說八仙之一鐵拐李就是鬼仙

建議大家把這本書當小說看就可以了，不要當真

如果要看小說的話，聊齋誌異這本書講更多鬼故事

The collection of Zhong Lu's preaching is a novel, but it is regarded as a classic

Take a look at one of the sentences, and you will know that the author is not a practitioner, but a storyteller
"Know the dragon and tiger first, then match Kanli"
This sentence is exactly the opposite. Of course, it is the first to get KanLi, and then the dragon and the tiger. This author can even get this wrong. It can be seen that this is a novel, not a teaching book on cultivation.

 

鍾呂傳道集就是一本小說，卻被當成經典

看一下其中一句話，就知道作者不是修煉者，而是一個說故事者
「先要識龍虎，次要配坎離」
這句話剛好說相反，當然是先坎離，才龍虎，這個作者連這個都會弄錯，可見得這是一本小說，不是修煉教學書

Inaction is the driving force of evolution

Just like the tires of a bicycle, it rolls forward without stopping at any point

But there are only fixed points in your mind, so it is difficult for you to understand this rolling method, which does not fall on any point

Your feet are like yin and yang, pedaling the power of the bike to move forward
Inaction is like motivation to move forward
Not falling at any point is like all the phenomena that will appear in the process

The book is in Chinese is there English version?

[awaken]

It costs 140,000 Taiwan dollars to translate into English, about 4,600 US dollars

I'm saving money

 

Because there are several books to be published, the funds will be used for the sequel first, and the English version will wait until there is extra money.

 

You can use the translation function in kindle

 

I only need 100,000 Taiwan dollars to publish a new book, but it costs 140,000 Taiwan dollars to translate a book, plus 100,000 publishing fees, so an English book costs 240,000 Taiwan dollars.

So of course I publish the Chinese book first

What is a ghost immortal?

The ghost immortal is the lowest of the five immortals. It arises from the center of yin. It's spirits image is not bright. The ghost gate has no character,  This is the end with nowhere to return to. One who has stopped developing and is lost. 

 A person who practices but didn't know the way at the beginning and wants fast progress.  

 

Someone that has  developed the yin spirit, and is heled into the spirit of the emotions, not the pure Yang immortality. 

 

Because intention and yin spirit, One becomes a ghost. 

The ghost may be called an immortal, but It is really a ghost. From the ancient to now, many students  practice in this way. Compared to achieving the way, it is honestly laughable.

 

...It is laughable?  Why?  What is achieving "the way"...

Ghost is a ghost (fictional or metaphorical) Compared to achieving the way, it is honestly laughable.

 

The Tao  is where all things come from and return.

 

We all have a way (Tao) in life by following the natural order we can achieve a more harmonious relationship with all things. We might be able to transcend life itself and be living life at the same time. Then what does actually die?

 

Existent and non existent. The true reality is a combination lock use one to unlock the other the two sides of the coin (Yin and Yang), mix well and bake until done.

[awaken]

There are two yin and yang in the alchemy.
One is Kan-Li, Kan is Qi, and Li is Shen.
One is the small medicine of black liver and rabbit marrow, black liver is the Shen of yang, and rabbit marrow is the Shen of yin.
From Kan-Li to Xiaoyao(small medicine), it is refining Qi and transforming Shen.
The spirit(Shen) also has yin and yang, the black liver is produced in the state of the yang spirit(Shen), and the rabbit marrow is produced in the state of the yin spirit(Shen).
If there is no correct understanding of Shen, and Yin and Yang are interpreted as the external world rather than the internal spiritual state, then the Tao is completely misunderstood.

 

丹道當中的陰陽有兩個。
一個是坎離，坎是氣，離是神。
一個是烏肝和兔髓小藥，烏肝是陽神，兔髓是陰神。
從坎離到小藥，是煉氣化神。
神也有陰陽，陽神狀態下產生烏肝，陰神狀態下產生兔髓。
如果對於神沒有正確的認知，把陰陽解釋成外在的世界，而不是內在的精神狀態，那就完全誤解了道。

Exactly. That’s the root of all problems, presuming to be on the outside what’s actually on the inside.
