This is true. I have never gone to college, and neither did He Yuchen. It was an accident in my family, and she went to bed as soon as she went to school.
I think of the second person who worked as an English teacher in Singapore. Really, it would be useless even if he got a doctorate and went abroad.
As long as you have this in your life, I can catch it for you wherever you go.
But at this time, Uncle Ma changed his clothes and came out and said: "It doesn't matter if the child goes to school, if he really wants to go to Taoism in the future, he will also need to be somewhat educated."
The couple asked: "Master, I heard that a monk needs a college degree to become a monk. Is this the same for Taoists?"
Uncle Ma said: "Taoism does not require academic qualifications, but if you are literate, it will be easier to understand Taoist thought. If you can't even read the classics, then how can you practice Taoism? Look at the ancient cultural masters, what about Li Bai Ah, Wang Xizhi, Wu Daozi, and those miraculous medical experts, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen, all of them have practiced Taoism."
Uncle Ma was right, and I added: "Yes, this is still very important, not only for Taoists, but also for Chuma. It is good to have some culture. At least you will have your own ideas and opinions on some things. It won’t go astray.”
The woman also had no eyesight and asked me: "Master, have you ever gone to college?"
For asking this question, I wanted to give her a kick.
But I reacted very quickly and said to her: "I haven't gone to college either, but I have a good master. Taoist Master Ma taught me many things and is more reliable than a college teacher."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ma narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You kid, why are you so polite to Master?"
I took advantage of the situation and gave Uncle Ma a hand, and I was very subtle about it. You could tell by looking at his eyes that what I said made him very happy.
At this time the old lady also spoke.
"It's okay if you have to go to college, but you have made arrangements for the old immortal in the past few years. If this child has any discomfort in the future, don't say that it is the old immortal who is fighting the disaster. It is his own fate. The old immortal is fighting. Qiao, this is not a disaster relief. Also, you'd better invite Hu Huang to come down and talk about this matter. Even though I will be the king of monuments in this hall from now on, I can't have the final say alone."
The old lady's words were quite reasonable, but she also said that Hu and Huang Laoxian were on the safe side and would not be able to persuade her.
This is right, because at this time, anything can get on his body. If he doesn’t beat the drum to invite God and just casually get on him, then he might not know what is coming.
There is a high chance that a few fairies will come up and talk nonsense, which will give you a headache.
So I made an agreement with them that I would invite a second god to come over another day, and then I would ask the immortal to investigate the matter.
In fact, I can ask Ma Yunfeng to come over now, but I don't want to tell them. I want to chat with Uncle Ma.
Just like that, after the old lady left, the child also woke up. The family kept thanking us, then made an appointment, and got up and left.
Of course, I have to send him a substitute first, send away the scattered immortals and ghosts on him, and the ancestors. These have to be taken care of, and even one of them cannot be sent.
Therefore, it is really troublesome to say that ordinary people have immortals in them but don't understand anything. If they can't see through it all at once, they have to go through it again and again.
It is very common for some people to be troubled by these things and struggle for several years without seeing the day when they can get ahead.
Another thing that I am more pleased about is that the conditions of this family are not bad, and it is good for them to do all these things at once.
If I don’t have money, even if I care about him, I can’t help him. After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
After seeing the family off, I turned around and gave Uncle Ma a bear hug.
He laughed and hugged me, and then said, "You haven't touched a woman recently, it's quite rare."
I'm a little dizzy, can he see that?
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Stop it, I'm single now. Wherever I go to meet women, the most I can do is feel her pulse during fortune-telling. I don't even dare to hold her hand, for fear of being called a gangster. "
Uncle Ma smiled and said: "That's right, but you can read palms, so doesn't that mean you can touch it legitimately?"
I looked at him with disdain: "You went into the mountains to find out the truth, but when you come down from the mountain, you just want to touch women's hands. It's so dirty... Besides, you never taught me to read palms!"
The two of us chatted for a while, and we were very happy with each other. Then I made plans to take Uncle Ma out to eat and give him a break.
Uncle Ma said no need, I just came back from the wedding banquet.
It suddenly dawned on me that it was no wonder he didn’t come back until the afternoon and went to the wedding banquet.
So I asked him where he was having the wedding banquet, and Uncle Ma told me that a Taoist friend was getting married today, to a Kun Taoist.
This was the first time I heard of such a thing, and I asked him curiously, this Taoist priest must be married to Zhengyi, right?
Uncle Ma said that it must be true. If Quanzhen wants to get married, he must first return to secular life. Only Zhengyi is allowed to get married. Not only is marriage allowed, but the wedding can also be held in a Taoist temple.
Next, Uncle Ma gave me a brief science introduction about Taoist marriage.
He said that the biggest difference between the Quanzhen sect and the Zhengyi sect at present is that the Quanzhen sect abstains from meat and alcohol, and both renounce the secular world and are not allowed to get married.
The Zhengyi Sect is relatively relaxed. You can eat meat, get married and have children, encourage disciples to practice in the world, and accumulate merit in their practice.
However, when performing rituals, you must abide by many prohibitions and are not allowed.
This difference does not mean that the Zhengyi precepts are relaxed. In fact, in the earliest times, Taoism did not oppose marriage and starting a family. This has a lot to do with the Yin and Yang theory.
As a religion native to China, Taoism takes Tao as its highest belief and its basic theories are Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
The early Taoist classic "The Taiping Jing" believes that if there is no marriage relationship, it will inevitably lead to "the separation of yin and yang, which will lead to the extinction of the world."
In other words, without the union of yin and yang, if all human beings in the world are extinct, who will preach and practice Taoism?
Therefore, Taoism believes that based on human physiological and psychological instincts, men cannot live without women, and women cannot live without men. This is the law of nature and the law of heaven.
If you want to cultivate the immortal way, you must first cultivate the human way.
For example, Huang Youle, who wanted to find a partner, kept saying that nature agreed, but in fact he was absolutely right.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, both parties to the marriage must have the same beliefs and value orientations. This is the basis of Taoist marriage.
In addition, there are many rituals and particularities in Taoist weddings, the most important of which is writing a marriage letter.
This marriage letter is written like this: A piece of marriage paper is written in the heaven above, in the underworld below, and in the sky, it is witnessed by the ancestors of the heavens. If you betray a beautiful woman, you are deceiving Heaven. This is a crime of deceiving Heaven, and your body will die and your path will disappear. If a beautiful woman betrays you, it is contrary to God's will. She will be removed from the three realms and will never be reincarnated.
When I heard it, this marriage document was too cruel. It was not a marriage document at all, it was clearly a life and death document!
