There is no need to keep the precepts when the mind is calm, and there is no need to sit in meditation when the body is upright.
If vegetarianism can lead to enlightenment, then the first ones to become enlightened should be the cattle and sheep on the grassland; if abstinence can lead to enlightenment, then the Buddhas in the West should all be eunuchs coming out of the palace.
Therefore, spiritual practice has nothing to do with observing the precepts.
The Living Buddha Jigong once said, "After the wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha remains in his heart." This is what he said.
Just having the concept of precepts in your heart means that you still have the consciousness of desire. Just as Taoism says that if there is no black, there is no white. If there is black, there must be white. Deliberate thoughts will take over your Buddha nature. Not eating meat and fish should be a natural choice based on your compassion, not a result of observing the precepts. Not being lascivious to women should be a natural choice because your mind is not bound by external thoughts. It should not come from observing the precepts. It is the "inaction" of Taoism and the "unity of knowledge and action" of Wang Yangming. I won’t elaborate further here. After all, I’ve said enough before, so as not to be scolded for the word count.
To abstain for the sake of abstinence is contrary to "nature", "morality", and "Buddha nature". From a Buddhist perspective, to use an image, you are trading with Buddha.
Real practice should forget the practice itself. Desire itself is the child of Bodhicitta. The more you reject it, the more crazy and unreasonable it will be, and the more you will be controlled by delusions. But if you embrace greed, anger, and ignorance, they will go home on their own. And do you understand why Ye Feng can have peace of mind even though he is greedy, angry, and ignorant?
The moment you realize that you are being dragged into the ditch by desires and delusions, this delusion begins to collapse.
So accepting imperfection is the real perfection
Accepting greed, anger, and ignorance is the true path to enlightenment.
After all, "the opposite is the movement of the Tao." Only "perfection" that includes "imperfection" can last long, and only the most complete enlightenment that includes "greed, anger, and ignorance" is the most real.

Maybe you will think that what I say is all in plain language and is a novice article, so it is rubbish and has no standard at all. Let me ask you, who told you that articles written for novices are childish and vulgar garbage? Who do you look down on?
If I do things like "Sword Comes" without speaking human words, playing tricks and guessing riddles, will that mean I'm good? How do you like it? If you want to do that, I can do it, okay! I can guarantee that except for experts, none of you can understand it. But why bother? Why bother?
Knowledge and principles are meant for everyone to hear, not for a certain elite group of people. Then the only choice is to speak the vernacular. In the past, knowledge was only for scholars and upper-class people to learn, and was a product of the privileges of the upper-class. The poor people at the lower levels are not qualified to learn knowledge and principles. In order to prevent ordinary people who have not learned from it from being able to understand it, they use the kind of classical Chinese that is arrogant, arrogant, guessing riddles, and makes people very uncomfortable.
Otherwise, how did the saying "Everything is inferior but reading is superior" come from?
But what age is it now? How many years have passed since the New Culture Movement was advocated? There are still elite literary privileges like "Sword Come" that only the upper class can understand. Are you sick? The longer you live, the more you look back, right? Atavistic, right? Do you want to be restored?
I, Ye Yu, just want to use the vernacular to tell all the truths about people in the world, no matter how difficult they are, even if they are farmers who have never gone to school and cannot read. If even they can understand Everyone can understand it, and then I will think that I am really capable. And that is my goal, and it is also the ultimate goal of "The Reverse of Mortal Immortals". When did I say that "Reverse of Mortal Immortals" is a refreshing article for beginners who cultivate immortality?
The novel "The Rebellion of Mortal Immortals" is a novel that I tailor-made for myself. Because of its special world view, that is, a world view that combines reality and immortality, the real and the false, and it takes "people" as the main core discussion object, so Its content is all-encompassing, and everything I want to say and say will not be subject to any restrictions, except for platform review and editing. From astronomy to geography, science popularization, humanities and history, false fantasy stories, real science, metaphysics, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. Of course, there are also great principles and tips on how to deal with people. As long as it is content that can be related to "people" in the world, it can be included in all immortals. And I can also join in.
But then again, there are things in this world that have nothing to do with people. When you can say it, that thing is related to people, because that thing was said by "people", so do you understand? There is nothing that "Mortal Immortal Rebellion" cannot add. Otherwise, why would I want to "narrate"?
Quoting a sentence from "Sword Comes", "I have too many truths to tell the world." Hahahaha, I laugh, I don't have too many great truths to tell the world. The world is too big, I He is just a common man, casually telling stories, talking about everyday things, and discussing social life and current affairs with you, the reader, who is reading this novel.
Therefore, "Mortal Immortal Rebellion" has no restrictions on genres, such as science fiction, fantasy, martial arts, fairy tales, cultivation, urban, history, online games, sports, time travel, etc. All genres and forms can be mixed and integrated, so it is difficult for "Mortal Immortal Rebellion" to be completely classified into any one genre. But for now, it is still mainly fantasy fairy tales, but does it belong to fantasy or not? I don’t know if it belongs to Xianxia, haha,
There are no restrictions on genres, such as mortal flow, invincible flow, upgrade flow, infinite flow, Cthulhu (I’m just brushing aside, I’m laughing again), etc. For example, during the Yongan Ten Thousand Nations Festival, you really guessed that Ye Feng could defeat the Immortal God in seconds. Devil, you also think you have guessed the ending, so you predict that I won’t be able to do any tricks. After all, if you say that Ye Feng will not die, then I really can only do what you want, right? I can't let the protagonist Ye Feng die.
But who could have guessed that Ye Feng would be in trouble with the devil, turning what was originally a good upgrade novel into an invincible novel in an instant. I have already left enough foreshadowings of the demon world in the Killing Daoze Mask. Adding in Ye Feng’s character issues, the journey to the demon world is inevitable, but ask yourself the conscience of the beautiful woman, guess what? Reached?
Then let alone guess the existence of the mortal civilization. Even if I have given hints before, I will have a hidden line in every story of the mortal immortal. Sometimes it will appear and sometimes it will not. come out.
Another example is the infinite stream. Please look forward to the story of the infinite stream of the novel "The Reverse of Mortal Immortals" after the exploration of the secret realm of Heaven's Lock. No, it's the infinite upgrade stream.
As for someone asking me about Ye Feng’s character, I’m here to tell you the answer: that is “Chaos Order Evil”!
