Be Diligent in Your Daoist Self-Cultivation

(Translated by Adrian
Chan-Wyles PhD)
The Winter Solstice has come and gone, and we are now
rapidly approaching 2015. I am writing
to sincerely wish every single person good health, a long life, and every type
of divine blessing. If you follow the
Daoist teachings correctly and with the right guidance, you will attain the
fruits of discipline, and your life will be pure and comfortable. This is because philosophical Daoism is an
ancient science devised by expert teachers who have already followed the path
of Immortality to completion. The
masters of old kept away from the world of dust, and instead developed their
Daoist technique. They kept away from
the world because seeking fame and fortune causes illnesses within the body that
shorten the lifespan and diminish the quality of life. Who could blame them for doing this?
Today, I heard that a 63 year old Buddhist monk passed away. This news made me feel very unhappy. Not so long ago, I communicated with this monk and discussed Qianfeng Daoism with him. After this, it was decided in the spring of next year he would come to the Qianfeng Hermitage to spend some time training with me, but unfortunately, before we could do this, he gave-up his body and left the mundane world. When the body is given-up, how can there be self-cultivation? This is why the Qianfeng Gate is always open to sincere disciples to come and train with me, and no matter how hard life can be, or how difficult circumstances can be, the self-cultivation methods I teach must be upheld all the time and without fail. It is only through constant and diligent practice that permanent and positive effects of Daoist self-cultivation can be realised. If you do not train in this way, but stop and start when you feel like it, how will you develop?

道家养生之性命双修
冬至已过很快就要迎来2015年,在此应该有很多快乐祝福以及赞美的文字来展现大家面前,而修道者以真修为主,清净自在。道家自古有言真修者自然亲近师父亲近功法,不修者远离师父远离功法,自我不知人生何为贵追求眼前名利,到了疾病缠身身体虚欠。请问你怪谁?
今日我认识的一位佛家比丘63岁离开人世,我的心情很不愉快,老者不久前还和我交流道家性命双修功夫,想来年春天来草堂学习,可惜自身皮囊没有保住离开凡尘。怎能在修?在此我希望千峰门内弟子真修实炼身体力行,不论有多大困难和自然因素也要坚持修炼,只有这样才可见到效果。如三天打鱼两天晒网请问你入门有何用?
