Since calling Xiao Ji to solve this problem, I am quite happy, because strictly speaking, she has a difficult and complicated disease, after all, many people can't understand it.

However, when her former master learned about it, he was sarcastic and said that this thing can't be given away at all. If you don't believe it, just watch it. You will get worse and worse in the future, and those immortals will have to come and torture you.

Xiao Ji was a little worried and asked me if this would happen. I said don't be afraid. You can't even plant crops when you hear the cries of crickets. Those people are eager for you to go to the house again and make money every time you do it. Who is like me? It seemed like they were all sent away directly.

She said that she was just worried about not being able to send him away. What if he came back again?

I said you don't have to worry about it, and don't think about it, just do what you have to do and live a good life. Even if you come back, you will still be the right immortal. As long as there are no such messes, we are not afraid of the right immortal.

Only then did she feel at ease, and then went around to help me promote it, telling her story to many people around her.

Two days later, she came to me again and said that another friend was also established by the master. Now she was in a bit of a mess and wanted to send him away. She asked me if she could still send him away.

I said it is okay to give them away, but it is not easy to give them away. If there are many immortals in the hall, then they cannot be given away. This cannot be generalized, and it must depend on the specific situation.

As a result, she told me that night that the friend regretted it and didn't want to give it away anymore, so the matter was brought to a standstill.

I laughed and said, "If you don't want to give it away, I won't give it away. Originally, I didn't want to give it to others. This thing also has karma."

Some time later, Xiao Ji found a new job, working in a dessert shop, and sent me photos.

When I looked at the photo, the girl was smiling happily, but she looked a lot thinner.

I said what did you do? Why did you lose weight? Are you too tired from work?

She said yes, she hadn't worked much in the past few years, and she only studied the field. Now she works all the time, which is really uncomfortable. She stands from morning to night every day, which is very tiring.

I asked her with a smile, do you regret sending her to a concubine?

She said she had no regrets, not at all. Although life was tiring now, it was physically tiring, but her heart was happy and relaxed.

Moreover, these days at work, she has come into contact with more people, and she feels that she is becoming more popular, unlike before, where she dealt with those ghosts every day and made herself full of yin.

She is right. Although she has lost weight in the photo, her energy is very good, and the yang energy of her whole body has also improved a lot.

But she suddenly told me that the night before, she dreamed of an old man in white clothes and a white beard, who smiled and told her to thank the husband of Wumen Mansion.

I couldn't help but smile. There was no doubt that this old man with a white beard must be her rightful immortal. Now that the evil spirits and evil spirits have been sent away, the immortal family can finally come out.

Xiao Ji was still a little nervous, wondering if this was the return of the Xian family, and would he have to establish a court in the future?

I say don’t think so much. If you are destined to be immortal, you don’t necessarily have to establish a church. You can also take them to practice together, because some immortals just don’t want to see things. This requires communication between you.

She asked me, how to practice?

To be honest, I have told many people that I can lead the immortal family to practice, but when Xiao Ji asked, I hesitated slightly.

Because this practice can be said to vary from person to person.

Some people's way of practice is to burn incense, chant sutras, and kowtow. The incense mist they make for themselves every day is very pious.

But Uncle Ma said that true practice does not necessarily have to be like this.

What is spiritual practice?

From a literal point of view, these two words mean: practice one's own behavior.

Only daily actions can reflect one's own heart. If after chanting sutras and kowtowing every day, you beat your parents and scold your mother when you get up, or scold anyone who accidentally steps on your feet while walking, then this is not called spiritual practice.

There is also a kind of person who keeps talking about practicing cultivation and goes to release animals when nothing happens. He smiles with everyone, and everyone who looks at him is full of peace and harmony.

However, if something touches his interests, he immediately becomes merciless and disowns his relatives, then this is not called cultivation.

To be honest, I know a lot of charlatans, some good, some bad, and everyone.

I have seen with my own eyes that people who paid off debts collected two to three thousand and only burned five bags of gold ingots.

I personally saw someone replenishing someone's treasury. After receiving eight hundred yuan, they burned two bags of gold ingots and a bundle of yellow paper. The total cost was less than fifty yuan.

I have personally seen people show marriage to others. Without even looking at the eight characters, they would say that they were trying to refute the marriage, and it would cost 4,800 yuan to resolve it.

But when you find me here, you can see that it has nothing to do with the marriage dispute.

There are also some people who say that they must never make money that is unconscionable, and their chests are pounding. But when they see someone who is destined to be an immortal, they think about asking someone to establish a marriage ceremony. Even those who are not immortals want to establish a marriage ceremony for others.

Of course, there are some people who are conscientious and will not set up halls for others randomly, and it is more practical to burn things. They can burn everything for cars. The price may be a little more expensive, but at least they are really doing things.

The rarest one is Aunt Hu, who always thinks of others and would rather suffer for herself.

I digressed. I thought about it at the time and told Xiao Ji that spiritual practice is not just about talking or chanting sutras every day. First of all, you have to constantly correct your behavior.

A true practitioner is one who constantly corrects himself at all times. This does not rely on chanting sutras and mantras, opening up the energy channels, or boasting of any magical powers.

It is about being a real, down-to-earth person and correcting your wrong ideas and behaviors with a righteous mind and righteous thoughts.

Correcting oneself is not an easy task, because self-arrogance is everywhere.

For example, when some people talk about spiritual practice, they light up and smile, saying that I, the Buddha, are compassionate.

But once someone doesn't agree with you, or goes against your will, or disturbs you, you will get very angry and think that everyone else deserves to go to hell. Dare I ask, is this practice?

Lao Tzu once said: "I have three treasures: compassion, frugality, and not daring to be the best in the world."

This is spiritual practice. To practice, you must first be "modest", and "modest" means "not daring to be the first in the world."

The same is true for Buddhism. To what extent can Buddhism be humble? Being humble to the point of "selflessness", being humble to the extreme is "selflessness".

There are eight fasting precepts in Buddhism, one of which states that novice monks are not allowed to sit on a tall bed.

The high and wide bed is the upper seat. Why can't novices sit on the upper seat? It is to get rid of the arrogance and the aloofness, so as to learn to be humble and develop the virtue of humility.

With a humble attitude, let’s talk about spiritual practice.

Cultivation is actually life, bit by bit, everywhere. Use the same yardstick used to measure others to measure yourself. Constantly self-reflect and correct yourself. Strictly check yourself. Use your whole life to correct your wrong ideas and behaviors. Know where to stop. Certainly.

There is no beginning and no end.

As long as people practice well, there is no need to ask God for anything, blessings will come naturally.

Xiao Ji asked me, some people actually practice very well. They accumulate virtue and do good deeds every day. They eat fast and chant Buddha's name. They never argue with others. I walk around when I see ants. They participate in various Buddhist rituals all year round, worship Buddha and Bodhisattva, and worship the Sanqing Patriarch. , worshiping all kinds of gods in heaven and earth.

But the fate of these people is still so miserable. Why is this?
