Does life have meaning?

In modern society, this is a philosophical question.

If you think deeply, it will make too many people confused and doubt their own existence, which will lead to many problems.

The state apparatus is well aware of this problem, so it will proactively give everyone a certain meaning to avoid too many people's "crazy thoughts."

But the real meaning is never given by others, and true freedom should not be conditional.

Zhuangzi had known this problem before and explained the meaning of freedom in "Xiaoyaoyou".

A sober person knows the meaning of his existence.

A person like Ye Xingchen is not someone who is trapped in a certain place, but he is undoubtedly guarding the secret of the time and space seal in the late Han Dynasty. Shen Yue is sure of this because Du Zijun and the others are at gunpoint.

Ye Xingchen is the muzzle of the gun, preventing anyone from approaching the secrets sealed in the late Han Dynasty.

Shen Yue secretly speculated that Ye Xingshen was more like a doorman.

But a character like Ye Xingchen must do something meaningful. What is the meaning that makes Ye Xingchen do this willingly?

Shen Yue thought about this problem and continued to explain, "Because the steps of 'precepts, concentration, and wisdom' in practice seem ordinary, people in the world have doubts."

Ye Xing said calmly, "Human nature is curious and does not know that God is hidden in the permanent. Instead, it hopes to pursue the Tao from the impermanent. It is inevitable to doubt the ordinary."

Shen Yue praised Ye Xingchen's cognition and nodded, "According to legend, Sakyamuni was aware that the world was ignorant, and knew that the common sense he said would be lost in the world, modified by the world's twists, and become a shackles for practice. This

Only then did he reincarnate as a lotus and create Tantric Buddhism and pass it on to the world."

Ye Xingchen murmured, "That's it."

He didn't know Tantric Buddhism at first, but when he heard Shen Yue's explanation, it was reasonable and well-founded, and he felt that Shen Yue's explanation was reasonable.

Then he slightly raised his brows and whispered in a low voice, "Lotus flower reincarnation..." He thought in his mind, wouldn't flying solo ultimately mean using trees as a medium to reincarnate in the world?

Thinking of flying solo, the stars fall in the night with a warm smile.

He doesn't have many friends, but flying alone is definitely one of them. If he hadn't flown alone, he would never stay here today.

Shen Yue didn't know what Ye Xingchen was thinking. It could be seen that Ye Xing Shen Yinshi had a rejection of the six paths and reincarnation, but he was not surprised at all about the reincarnation of the lotus. A judgment immediately came to his mind - Ye Xingchen should have seen something similar to the lotus.

The miracle of reincarnation, maybe...his ability to become one with the tree came from this?

After a moment of silence, Shen Yue continued: "The cultivation methods of Tantric secrets and the methods of precepts, concentration, and wisdom taught by Sutras may seem different, but they are actually the same."

Ye Xing said calmly, "Since they are both taught by Sakyamuni, it would be strange if there are any differences."

Since Sakyamuni arrived in Samadhi, he should be an excellent example of unity. The method he taught was slightly changed according to the different abilities of people in the world, but it is still essentially the same.

However, people in the world read various sects from the scriptures.

Sakyamuni is not different, the only difference is the perception of the world.

Shen Yue agreed, "Yes, whether it is precepts, concentration, wisdom, or the method of clearing the chakras in Tantric Buddhism, they all sharpen the will, clean up one's own filth and random thoughts with supreme faith, and make the body, speech, and mind unified."

Looking at Zhang Jixian, Shen Yue nodded and said, "Chaotic thoughts are completely different from the bright nature of the mind. Pursuing the bright nature of the mind with chaotic thoughts is completely opposite."

Zhang Jixian nodded repeatedly, his mind clearer.

What Shen Yue was talking about was the Buddhist principles, but Zhang Jixian was now at Qingming in Lingtai, and all he heard was the Taoist principles.

Turning to look at the setting stars in the night, Shen Yue concluded, "If you clear one of the six rounds, you can get incredible magical powers, but it is difficult to clear one of the six rounds, because if the root of wisdom is not revealed, people will be walking in filth all day long, barely able to clean it.

The filthiness of the body and mind is no match for the constant erosion of distracting thoughts.”

After pondering for a moment, Shen Yue said again, "It's just like when it rains heavily and you choose a depression to drain water, it will be in vain."

Ye Xingchen sighed softly, "That's true."

Shen Yue concluded: "But Xu Fu eliminated the turbidity of the heart chakra. This is a miracle."

Watching the night stars sinking, Shen Yue said slowly, "You and I both know that people's distracting thoughts can change thousands of times in an instant and it is difficult to stop. Obsession has dust, and dust creates dirt. Otherwise, there would be no 'body'

Bodhi tree, the heart is like a bright mirror, brush it diligently at all times to prevent dust from spreading to the world."

What he was saying was a verse by the eminent monk Shenxiu of the Tang Dynasty. He paid attention to Ye Xingchen's expression and thought that Ye Xingchen might not know this verse.

Sure enough, Ye Xingchen frowned, as if thinking about the meaning of the verse, and then said, "If you wipe it diligently, you will have concerns in your heart after all. If you can do it without being stained by dust, then you will be in the highest state."

Shen Yue nodded and said, "What you said is absolutely true. Being vigilant about being tainted by dust is ultimately not as wise as having a heart that is not tainted by dust."

This means that if you have a pure cotton shirt, it will still get dirty if you wash it diligently. It is better to have nano-clothes that do not stain the dirt.

"But there are very few people in the world who can achieve the level of 'wiping diligently'."

Shen Yue said calmly, "Distracted thoughts are as difficult to control as life and death. The spiritual point and distracting thoughts are closely related..."

Ye Xingchen exhaled and said, "You mean - at that time, Xu Fu had no distracting thoughts?"

Shen Yue smiled and said nothing.

Ye Xingchen said again, "Bo Yi's subordinates don't know these principles at all. They just think that after adding more longevity incense, three bright points will appear in the dying state. They just need to let the bright points exist in the center of the heart chakra."

I can achieve immortality, but I don’t know... To keep the spiritual point in the heart chakra motionless, it requires extremely firm thoughts and extremely strong faith."

At this moment, he finally understood the truth of that year, and he felt that what Shen Yue said was absolutely correct.

But then I thought about it, Ye Xingchen had been thinking hard about the problem for many years, but Shen Yue solved it as soon as he heard it. The gap between the two people was really huge.

When he thought of this, Ye Xingchen was not depressed, but just surprised. He really didn't know where this person came from and how he had such ability.

Shen Yue agreed, "I think so too. Boyi's group of men are too pedantic and have the calculations of honest people. In fact, they are greedy, angry and ignorant, but they are not as obvious as the evil ones."

Ye Xingchen nodded in approval.

They say that being fat is unhealthy, but that doesn’t mean that being thin is healthy.

It is true that evil people are full of the five poisons, but it cannot be said that honest people are immune to all poisons. In fact, sometimes honest people's greed, anger, and ignorance even surpass those of evil people.

"Bo Yi's subordinates simply cannot understand what I say, let alone practice it." Shen Yue said slowly.

Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think Xu Fu understands what you said and has been practicing it?"

Shen Yue hesitated, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."

"Why?" Ye Xingchen was obsessed with getting to the bottom of it.

Shen Yue explained, "Practice can be divided into intentional and unintentional. Intention means following the orthodoxy, believing that the methods taught are unbiased, and practicing step-by-step diligently. Only in this way can wisdom be brought about in concentration, and wisdom can spiral upward in the state of concentration.
