However, what really surprised Pei Wende was not the similarities between Buddhism and Taoism, but the seven different abilities after the seventh round.
"Three souls seven’ o? Three pulses and seven rounds? "
If Pei Wende’s memory of past lives is correct, Zen master Lingyou’s theory of "three veins and seven wheels" seems to have some similarities with Taoism’s advocacy of "three souls and seven spirits"
According to Pei Wende’s past life, the theory of "soul" is the basis of Taoist practice.
"Soul" refers to the spirit that can be separated from the body, while "spirit" refers to the manifestation state of this spirit when it is attached to the body.
The soul of heaven is called "Yang", so it is also called "Yang God", which is the source of all detachment and wisdom.
The soul of the earth is called "Yin", so it is also called "Yin God", which is all desires and distractions.
When the body of Yang God and Yin God intersect, there will be a soul of life, which is the so-called "yuan God"
The combination of life and soul attached to human body to produce seven souls is the manifestation of soul and body and the "shadow" of Yuan God’s material world.
Although the seven spirits are part of the same soul, they are actually slightly different, with different responsibilities.
Or wisdom, or understanding, or strength just correspond to the seven different abilities in the "seven rounds"
Pei Wende doesn’t believe that this is a clever contract. The two practices of Buddhism and Taoism must have something in common.
"There are similarities between soul theory and chakra theory, but they are definitely not the same thing."
When he was young, Zen master who dabbled in a wide range naturally knew "three souls and seven spirits". At that time, he even thought about various Taoist practice theories to make up for his own practice defects.
Unfortunately, three souls and seven spirits sound similar to three veins and seven rounds, but they are two completely different theories from the root, and it is difficult to complement and coordinate them.
"Seven rounds are the externalization of seven souls"
"The so-called’ seven rounds of enlightenment’ is actually to transfer the spiritual power in the soul to one’s own body and to interfere with the natural laws of the outside world."
It seems that I am afraid that Pei Wendefa will understand that the two are different. Master Lingyou emphasized the difference between "seven rounds" and "seven spirits" to prevent the other party from having any delusions of "double cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism"
Zen master Lingyou knows himself about his own villains. If he doesn’t emphasize this point, he will definitely have such a perverse idea.
"Taoism pays attention to refining the spirit and soaring in the daytime, so they focus on the reunion of the seven spirits and the achievement of the Yuan God."
"And our pulse is just the opposite, paying attention to seven rounds and casting a golden body."
"The root of the two is the possibility of disharmony between two diametrically opposite roads."
Wen Yan Pei Wende couldn’t help grinning.
Because he was really thinking about the possibility of "double cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism" before, after all, isn’t this popular among the protagonists in previous novels?
Don’t say that both Buddhism and Taoism have been practiced in previous life novels. In the stories, there are many fellow practitioners who practice Buddhism, magic, Taoism and Confucianism. The more initiates, the more powerful Pei Wende is, and naturally he can’t be vulgar.
"Since you said before that it would be beneficial to practice, you can’t distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism. Why can’t you practice Buddhism and Taoism together?"
Pei Wende didn’t mean to stimulate his master.
After all, it can be seen from previous conversations that Zen master Lingyou is not a well-behaved person.
I now think that the other person must have had and even tried it when he was young.
Is Pei Wende asking this question simply to know if the other party has succeeded?
Of course, it would be better if I could spy out some "glorious" deeds of Zen master Lingyou when he was young.
"Bad people!"
"You are far from reaching that level now. You’d better learn the most basic’ concentration’ first."
I don’t know where I took out a hammer and directly knocked on Pei Wende’s top of the skull. I’m too lazy to talk too much nonsense with the other side, said Jackson Lingyou.
"When you have lived enough, you can learn how to’ settle down’ honestly."
After saying his word, Zen master Ling Gui struck Pei Wende’s crown with another hammer, and a familiar feeling of "lethargy" followed.
-the secret method of Zen Buddhism!
[Old monk, this is your personal vendetta! 】
Pei Wende, who didn’t respond, was brought into the "meditation state" that ordinary people dream of by his master’s hard-core "concentration" way.
