What kind of person is a Taoist priest?

No matter from our cultural tradition or the online novels that have influenced many people now, I'm afraid the people closest to the cultivation of truth, monasticism and longevity are Taoist priests. Because in addition to preaching the idea that gods and buddhas create this world and are superior to all beings, there are still a group of people who are practicing. They want to explore the truth of the world in their own way and explore what is behind the truth.

This school does not deny the existence of the universe, but it is not superstitious that the omnipotent creator created everything. But through the exemplary role of the sages, explore the road to immortality. You can be carefree and cynical, but you must be gorgeous.

You have never met anyone who believes in monotheism and becomes a god, have you? You haven't seen anyone become a Buddha in the world of mortals, have you? Even the so-called samsara, which is inseparable from samsara, has appointed a candidate. This is simply a more terrible system than India's bloodline and caste system. It's terrible to think of it, too. No, it's terrible.

We saw that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven as an immortal in the initial stage of civilization, and Yao Shunyu was honored as the official of heaven and earth in the development stage. We saw that Ji Chang, who gestured the Book of Changes in his cell, was also enshrined on the altar. We saw that a librarian wrote The Tao Te Ching and became the ancestor of Taoism. We saw that Zhang Ling, a descendant of us, founded the Taoist orthodoxy. We saw that a military commander named Guan Yu became the god of wealth and loyalty in the Three Kingdoms period, and we saw Sun Simiao's magnificent immortality. We saw that the dashing Li Bai went around asking for immortals and finally became a poet. We saw seven golden lotus flowers inspired by Wang Zhongyang, the founder of The Living Dead, and we saw Zhang Sanfeng become immortal in the era when the aura of Ming Dynasty was lacking.

As a result, these primitive social leaders who didn't graduate from universities, Yao Shunyu who didn't read technical secondary school, Ji Chang who didn't even graduate from middle school, Lao Zi who was a librarian, Guan Yu who couldn't use a mobile phone, Sun Simiao who couldn't play computer, Li Bai who didn't even have a pair of liberation shoes, Wang Zhongyang who didn't use a razor, and Zhang Sanfeng who didn't know K powder all became immortals. Why can't I become an immortal after graduating from junior high school? Why can't you become an immortal after high school holidays? God is unfair!

Therefore, many people want to become monks. What kind of person is that Taoist priest? Are Taoist priests comfortable in imagination?

Many people see Taoist priests and ask, can you calculate divination? Can you spell? You are superstitious! Can you really become an immortal? What do you usually eat? Do you know Tai Chi? Taoist, show me the marriage! Taoist, give me your autograph! Taoist, what do you eat? Taoist, do you really catch ghosts?

It's a bit like foreigners think you know Kung Fu when they meet people from China. In fact, your response to this question is the same as ours.

A Taoist is a human being first, and then a Taoist. Only one person, a person with flesh and blood, shortcomings and advantages, is a Taoist. Taoist priests are not born omnipotent. Many things may not be as good as you, and many questions may not be understood by you. It's just that Taoists practice in a specific environment, which makes it easier to get close to the true colors of traditional culture and Taoism.

Taoist priests, as human beings, have entered Taoism for various reasons, got the opportunity to serve their ancestors, got the opportunity to learn, and have the responsibility to publicize the Dojo and Taoism for their ancestors, which may be closer to traditional culture. Among the five Taoist techniques, there are various Taoist techniques such as mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy and divination, as well as fasting, Tai Chi, martial arts and symbols. Well, fencing and other skills don't even deny that you think there are all kinds of similar magical powers.

But just because you are human doesn't mean you are Einstein. Just because he is a Taoist doesn't mean he can play Tai Chi. Just because you're human doesn't mean you're Bill Gates. Just because he's a Taoist doesn't mean he can calculate divinations. Just because you are human doesn't mean you are Sakyamuni. Just because he is a Taoist does not mean that he can cure Taoism.

Many people sometimes complain to me when they encounter difficulties: "Taoist, what's the point of saying I'm alive?" I'm not as good as someone else's dog. Their dog has a shuttle bus and meat to eat every day, so they don't have to work or worry about it. It's really hard to be a man. " This is all about finding reasons for yourself. If you are a dog, you may not be a dog with meat all day, just as you may not be Gao Fushuai. The world needs to recognize itself and others.

Here, we should establish a clear point of view, treat Taoist priests with a normal heart and rationality, and treat Taoist priests, monks, priests and imams as one person first, not superstitious and not deceived. Every Taoist has his own specialty. Not every Taoist can do Tai Chi, not every Taoist can travel around the mountains, not every Taoist can tell fortune.

Even if this Taoist is carefree and travels around, you can't just see their leisure, but also think about whether he has paid or worked hard for these leisure. Don't just see the glory of others, but also see the suffering of others.

Just as you see the beautiful snow scene in our Taoist temple, you want to experience life. Have you ever thought that our Taoist temple was frozen into quail in Dan's room because of the heavy snow and no heating? Have you ever thought about clearing the snow on the three-kilometer mountain road every day when we are snowing heavily? Have you ever thought that I eat one steamed bun at a time, and after sweeping the snow, it's five to ten degrees below zero, and my underwear is soaked with sweat, and I still feel full after eating six or seven steamed buns?

All the gains, all the displays, are not without reason, nor do they fall from the sky. There is no need to ask for anything after entering the Tao in the novel. Seeing that you have wisdom roots, Master insisted on giving you a gold robe. Master, seeing that you are weird, I want you to choose some beautiful girls and sisters to double-study.

There are gains and losses. Many people only see the gains of others, but they don't see the losses of others. They always suspect that others are happier than themselves, and always think that it is better to change their living conditions and become a Taoist.

Taoist priests are also flesh and blood people. Not every Taoist has enough courage to protect himself from cold and heat, and not every Taoist is an alchemist.
