Learning Taoism is a bit of a demon

Personal opinion, for reference:

The limbs, the deprecated intelligence, the detachment from the form, the defeat of the saints, the destruction of civilization ......

In the Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi and Liezi, there are many similar words, these words are also shocking words today, and the vast majority of people cannot accept them, and they cannot understand them at all. There is a fundamental reason for this: the vast majority of people do not understand the meaning of "cultivation", they don't even know "cultivation", and they don't believe it if they do.

It is also natural that these words cannot be understood from the perspective of cultivation, resulting in quotes taken out of context, which is quite normal.

Compared with the world's materialistic pursuits, the goal of a practitioner in life is completely opposite. It is normal for them to look at these words and these truths; And it is normal for people in the world to live in the world, and when they see these things that deny the purpose of their lives, they are naturally afraid and dare not believe it.

Both Taoism and Buddhism oppose desire, selfishness, and excessive exploitation of nature, and emphasize the harmonious coexistence of man and man, man and nature. Combined with Buddhist teachings, it is easier to understand these words of Taoism. In fact, Taoism has absorbed many Buddhist theories.

Therefore, it is recommended that the landlord, if there is anything difficult to understand, you may wish to read all three books, and you can naturally understand it if you read more. Although Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are three sects, they are all artificially divided and opposed, especially in modern times. But no one has ever really opposed them to the ancient sages, and the great Confucians in history, such as Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, and the like are all the people who have connected the three religions, and the famous "Caigen Tan" is a condensed version of the typical theory of the three religions, and the Taoist Quanzhen Religion that arose at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty is to vigorously advocate the unity of the three religion theories.

The magic test, also known as the magic test. There is an ancient Taoist proverb that says, "Without demons, there is no way." "The Demon Test is actually a test for cultivators by the Demon Emperor of the Heavens (it is a level set by the gods for cultivators).

By enduring many calamities, the gods selected the masters of the Xuanmen who were morally pure, indifferent, and pure, and who believed in the unequivocal realm, who were not afraid of troubles, stuck to their hearts, and overcame many examinations to verify the sanctity of the saints.

The theory of "magic test" comes from the "Lingbao Immeasurable Human Superior Scripture".

According to records, the Five Emperors and Great Demons are the sect of all gods, with heavenly blessings but no heavenly virtues, often arrogant and arrogant, claiming that they are in harmony with the gods of the heavens, and often fighting with the heavens in the upper realm. The struggle between the gods and demons in the sky will lead to a catastrophe in the world, and the soldiers will be in all directions, and the lives will be ruined. Yuan Shi Tianzun was merciful to the masses, so he sent Emperor Zhenwu to subdue the demons.

Since then, the great demon kings have tied their hands and taken refuge in the Taishang Infinite Dao, and made a great vow in front of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, if there are people who learn the Tao and seek immortals in the future life, the great demon kings and the gods of the heavens will remember the merits of people, set up all kinds of checkpoints, test the mind of the Taoist, or confuse people's hearts with all kinds of beauty, or sharpen the human body with all kinds of viciousness, and there are learners who can successfully pass the "magic test", then all the great demon kings will be guaranteed and ascend to the immortal realm; If you can't stand the "magic test" and give up halfway, the demon king will also sigh: "Er Bule Immortal Dao, what about the Three Realms?" If he wants to turn the five paths, I should do nothing.

The definition of demons in Taoist scriptures is not the same as ghosts.

Taoism's explanation of the concept of the so-called demon king: the immortal emperor is the manifester, and the chief is blessed and edified; Yu Hermit is the Demon Emperor, the main division of protection and punishment.

There is a cloud in the Lingbao Immeasurable Human Superior Wonderful Sutra: "Qingtian Demon King, Ba Yuan Ugly Uncle." The Red Sky Demon King, the Negative Sky Burden Stone.

The demon king in the daytime, the six eyes of the mountain. The Black Sky Demon King, the prison ugly Langfu. The Yellow Sky Demon King, the horizontal sky.

The Great Demon of the Five Emperors, the Sect of the Gods. Flying drums from, the general leader of the ghost soldiers. Drum Festival, sightseeing in space.

Self-proclaimed Heyi, all the heavens work together. Heaven is a man, and the north is strict. ”

From this, it can be seen that the Demon Emperor's godhead is largely the same as that of the Immortal Emperor, revering in the realm of the heavens, and also has the role of tempering everyone and guiding cultivation in terms of duties.
