The Original Dao
Original Chinese Language Article By: Qianfeng Daoist Master Zhao Ming Wang (赵明旺)
(Translated by Adrian Chan-Wyles PhD)
Everyone is obsessed with the search for wealth and fame – but if you forget wealth and fame you have already rediscovered the Dao. Surely you do not deny that through quiet meditation you can realise the Dao? A true person who pursues the Dao is unknown to the world. How many people seek to make a name for themselves? How many people are always seeking to gain an advantage?
I will not reach the realm of the truthful Dao if I retain thoughts of achieving enlightenment in my mind. How can you become a great master through such self-limiting behaviour? Too many words and the Original Dao is already missed. You must understand that the truthful Dao of Laozi (老子) and Zhuangzi (庄子) will not be realised by merely thinking about it. There has been in the past Daoist Immortals such as Wang Chongyang (王重阳) and Qiu Chuji (邱处机) – from the Dragon Gate School lineage – as well as many others that remain unknown. All these Immortals achieved enlightenment without even trying, so what was their secret? The Original Dao is a matter of harmonising yin and yang qi energy. Entering the yang qi energy one enters the realm of true Dao, but if one enters the yin qi energy, then this is the worldly path of pointlessly seeking wealth and fame. On the yang path a seeker of the true Dao disappears from the world, but when upon the yin path, the world sees you clearly.
The seeker of the true Dao does not possess a mountain of money, but he or she nevertheless lives comfortably. If you want to rediscover the true Dao how should you proceed? Well, I can tell you that those who possess expensive cars and houses, and who are attached to their possessions, and like to regale all and sundry with their uninformed and ignorant opinions, will never find the true Dao. Those devout individuals who genuinely want to seek the Original Dao must learn to discern fact from fiction and act accordingly. You must find a good teacher who has inherited a genuine lineage of Daoist self-cultivation. You must learn the authentic self-cultivation methods of philosophical Daoism and practice them properly to build ‘virtue’ (德 – De) because if you do not build virtue, you cannot progress on the path of Dao.

正道
人人难忘名和利,忘了名利已是道。静思你可了道否?真修者不显于世。有多少人为名而行?有多少人为利而捞?
我没有达到真道的境界,我在思在悟。而现在所谓的大师你们如何?在这里我就不太多言了,望所谓的大师们好自为之悟其真道,老子 庄子是为真道。王重阳 邱处机为真道有多少先辈不求名利淡泊一生真修实炼,逍遥清净,道是什么?道为阴阳,真修者以进阳,贪图名利假修者以入阴,这就是真道,天地法眼在看着你。
真修者没有万贯家财,清淡而自在。可想何为真修何为真道?假道者有高级汽车别墅众人相拥到处演讲钱财广进,大肆宣传我是正道等等。在此望善男信女求真者看的清楚。
真正的道家功夫首先是德善先修在前,修炼功夫在后无德善者是以修假道,要的是代代相传,有师为教,真修有德善者以得真传。
