Why ‘Stilling’ the Mind is the First All-Important Step of Daoist Self-Cultivation!
ORIGINAL CHINESE LANGUAGE ARTICLE BY: QIANFENG DAOIST MASTER ZHAO MING WANG (赵明旺)
(TRANSLATED BY ADRIAN CHAN-WYLES PHD)
The ordinary human mind is infested with the spirit of the ape and the horse – so that its conscious foundation is obscured by continuously ‘moving’ thoughts and feelings - that have no end! Immortality cannot be achieved if the mind is not permanently ‘stilled’ and its empty essence fully cognised! As long as the ‘empty’ foundation of the mind is obscured by its continuously ‘moving’ surface construct – no progress can be made on the authentic Daoist path!
All the Gods of Daoism are mere superstitions created by the ‘moving’ mind that must be left behind if the ‘primordial’ (元神 - Yuan Shen) mind is to be realised! How can this happen when the spirit of the ape is present and does not allow the mind processes to settle down? This is nothing but ordinary ‘disturbance’ that cannot be remedied by worshipping external images of supposed Daoist Gods! Look within and apply the effective methods of ‘Essential Life Mind-Body) self-cultivation! The ‘Immortal Way’ (仙道 - Xian Dao) is achieved by penetrating the empty essence of the mind and cultivating an ‘all-embracing’ mind which although ‘empty’ - includes all-things! It is only deep within the empty mind ground that the immortal medicine will be discovered!

道家性命双修灵猿驿马
修炼之路首先要战胜自我思维识神之性,如不斩断识神无法进入元神佳境。
灵猿台上修心性,扰乱心君本是己,求仙道断识神,元神当家才有药。
