The difference between Taoism and witchcraft

Taoism's "returning to the Sect by all means"

First, Taoism

Taoism is the Taoist's own practice. Including internal Dan, external Dan, food intake, room and so on. Taoist religious activities include Taoist scriptures, confessions, fasting, fasting, spells, forbidden spells, seclusion, walking on stilts, exorcism, demon reduction, disaster relief, blessing, house practice, cultivation of immortals, and avoiding valleys. Maoshan Taoism is the most popular method of Taoist practice.

In the picture, I uploaded two volumes about Taoism and witchcraft. Look at the lower right corner of the picture. The word on it is Xuanqi Pavilion? It should be noted that these two mountain books are from here, and books on Taoism and witchcraft are still very rich, and the learning reference is still very good.

Daoism can only be a concrete application method and technology in the practice of Dan Dao. Through the cultivation of Taoism, we can help us master and understand the characteristics of Taoism. However, this is not the ultimate goal of a real monk, and we should not stop there. It is also necessary to practice Taoism for the realm. The most basic thing is selflessness. No matter what happens outside, you can't disturb yourself. I don't exist anymore. I'm a grandpa now, and grandpa is me. Ha ha! This is similar to monasticism. Xiu is, Tao is me, and I am Tao. Some sects are not called fathers, but gods and gurus, and so on. That's just a name change! Ha ha! Tao is not concrete, it is invisible. Successful people don't need outside help. A monk respects his teacher, not his master. Whether it is a master in the spiritual world or a master in the world, they only guide their own teachers. The most fundamental thing is that you are your own master. Of course, you can use the aura of the master to speed up the improvement of your self-cultivation. Finally, I became a fairy, and I was enlightened. In Taoism, after combining with the masters, we use their skills and magic. Now many people confuse monasticism with monasticism. Looking at the image of Master or this deity and reciting the special language of Master or this deity is actually to attract their doppelgangers to be in tune with themselves. Because of the different levels of spiritual cultivation, the moral character of the mind is also very different. It is easy to cultivate magical powers, which in turn encourages people's magic and eventually suffers. Because people who practice Taoism and those who practice Taoism have different purposes and different results.

A kind of witchcraft-You Zhu

Second, witchcraft.

In ancient times, medicine and witchcraft were inseparable. In the early days, our human mind was used to measuring things by itself and integrating nature with human beings. What do you mean? At first, we relied on our own emotions and psychology to speculate on external things, and relied on natural changes to explore the law of survival. There is no gap between the psychological world and the material world. This can make things between the universe and heaven perceived by us. This mysterious force in the universe can help us or bring us harm. On the good side, we call it God; on the bad side, we call it magic. Ghosts and demons are the same as humans. They are afraid of the devil and hope that the gods can protect and help them. Sincerity is very important for the help of the gods, so there are rituals such as offering sacrifices to the gods, bathing, fasting, dancing and clearing the heart.

Witchcraft is the earliest and oldest culture of human beings, and the initial stage of human cultural development is inseparable from the existence of witchcraft culture. Because witchcraft sums up too much common sense of life, our most common prayers for health, bumper harvest, good weather, national prosperity and people's safety all need witchcraft!

And that's when medicine began. From primitive to taking yang and yin, medical care and medicine are essential for our human growth. In the process of natural life and human progress and development, medicine and witch culture are closely linked!

With the development of the times and the progress of human civilization, there are more and more witchcraft contents. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's divination, the tortoise of Yin and Yang in Zhouyi, the five elements in Shangshu, magic numbers, ghosts and gods, driving away epidemics, praying for rain and interpreting dreams. Imitation witchcraft and contact witchcraft are two categories of witchcraft. Imitating witchcraft refers to imitating real things to achieve real results and achieve a certain purpose, and contact is achieved through things that are being contacted, such as hair and clothes. No matter what kind of witchcraft is divided into white witchcraft and black witchcraft, white witchcraft is aimed at doing good and accumulating virtue. Black witchcraft aims at destruction.

In the interpretation of Chinese characters, witches are interpreted as people who can do things invisibly and dance with gods, and witches are also between heaven and earth. We call the occupation of connecting man and God a wizard.
