How about governing the country in vain? " Right: "The country is still alive. Lao Tzu said,' Wandering in the bright light, integrating with the desert, being natural and selfless, and managing the world.' Yi said: "The saints and heaven and earth are in harmony." It's not what you say, but what you do. The purpose of inaction is to govern the country. "Zong Rui sighed and said," GuangCheng words mean, also.

He died in Wuwangshan at the age of 89. His disciple said: "On the day of death, there were two cranes around the altar. White clouds poured out of the altar and connected to the sky. The teacher looked like life." Xuanzong sighed deeply, so he ordered: "If you mix things, you will change yourself into several (12). Although there is an independent image, it is invisible to the extreme. Therefore, Sima Weizi, the Taoist priest of Wuwangshan who won the Tao, regardless of Xuanyuan, traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, kept the wonders and enjoyed himself.

And then life will be hard. (2) elegance (3) advocates Taoism and respects differences repeatedly, so Cheng Zhen went to call. When Zong Rui asked about Yin Yang No.4, Cheng Zhen said to him, "I learned from the clouds and lost it, so that I have nothing, and I have not been able to do everything I have seen and known. How can I attack heresy again, gain wisdom and worry? " Zong Rui said, "If there is no reason, it is lofty; Managing the country is nothing, so what? " Right: "The country is still alive. Laozi said:' It is selfless and reasonable to attach importance to light, combine gas with desert and conform to nature.' A saying:' the sage is in harmony with heaven and earth' means knowing that the world does not keep its words and believes, and governing by doing nothing.

Although Lushan was against the customs, he was fortunate to be Shu and went to the emperor for seven years. It was several days before he started driving. Is it not the encouragement of Taoist power? When Xuanzong visited Taiyue for the first time, he asked Cheng Zhen, "What is the God of the Five Mountains?" Right: "The person who climbs the mountain is huge, can have sex and rain, and can save immortals. I hope that the people of the country will do it, but the mountain gods are also owned by the gods. " So Wuyue was ordered to set up a fairy temple at the top of the mountain and began to carry heavy loads. It's very kind of a lady to cross the sea naturally and seek a teacher in Penglai.

Cheng Zhen lives in the mountains and practices hard. He is over 100 years old, young and healthy. If there are 30 people, he has more than 70 apprentices.
