5.Difference between Buddhism and Taoism

Question: Do you want to practice the Dharma in Taoism?

A: Taoism is not the same as Dharma at the beginning.

Taoism emphasizes the cultivation of immortality, solidifies the spirit of vitality, the so-called Xiu Dan, in order to find out the shell of the god, soar the shell and fly, so-called immortality.

The Buddhism emphasizes that if you do n’t cultivate, you will suffer and have no self. You will stay away from the illusions of the Three Realms, and you will be free from the fire house.

In the later period, Taoism merged with the Buddhism, emphasizing that refining the gods is still futile, and refining the renunciation of virility. It has a similar meaning to liberation.

It seems to me that the Taoism had a centrifugation only when the refining of God was still deficient.

As for how to choose and integrate, it depends on everyone’s wisdom.

Q: Ask! I recently entered the Fourth Zen to raise the birth rate. My feeling is that the breath is not completely gone, but it is very subtle, that is, the birth rate is rising, the lower abdomen is trembling, driving the breath, but very slowly, there is still The pause process. I also checked a lot of information, generally speaking, “the four Zen out of income is dying out” or “broken breath” and so on, and some have found that the birth rate has risen, but there are different opinions about whether the birth rate is completely nasal. Of course, I also studied “The Road to Dinghui”. The Master Guangchao said very clearly, but the four Zen places also directly said things like breathing stop, and there is no detailed description.

My question now is to wonder if the Four Zens really stopped completely? Is my situation still between the Three Zens and the Four Zens? Still four Zens? Although I believe in my practice, I still want to know, thank you!

Answer: The Four Zens must have stopped breathing completely.

The fetal breath is when the outer breathing stops and the inner breathing begins. In fact, it can be said that breathing has not stopped, but it is not mouth or nose breathing.

The birth rate is the state of the four Zen meditations. Not set.

Because of the body, persistence, and persistence of breathing, the fetal breath turns into a fine inner breath.

The Four Zens have no body, no persistence, no thought of breathing, so no breathing.

Here’s an insight to remember, and when you think about it, you break your breath. Breathing is constant because delusions are unbroken. (Desires require breathing to blow. Breathing and delusion are simultaneous.) The reason why the four Zens can break their breath is because they are pure.

You are in this situation because you are obsessed with breathing and feeling. You should forget about the concepts of breathing and body (or the concept of emptying and breathing), and focus on the sensations in people. If the breathing is stopped, the body is completely absent, and you are clear, then you can enter the Four Zens.
